Song Writer, Vibe Maker!

TheLastLetter on SoundBetter

I can write you the perfect hook and verses to help you express yourself in the best words possible .

Hey there! I am a developing musician from South Africa and Zimbabwe keen on entering the songwriting spaces of other artists, As I'm still finding my sound I tend to write multiple songs that sound great, but don't that don't necessarily fit my image , rather than let these ideas and songs go to waste I am beginning the journey of selling these ideas and lyrics in order to support myself while I find myself musically and don't have much music out and performances are limited due to COVID19. My process involves us chatting a bit about your sound, your song idea and your vocal capabilities before I proceed to make these ideas come together beautifully both lyrically and sonically in a way that best suits your performance styles! Along with the lyrics I will also send you a recorded reference over your beat of of choice! I can also do backing vocals, provide melodies and harmonies provide features take each track to the next level!
Hopefully we can chat bounce ideas around.
I am able to assist in writing songs and hooks in English for Afro Beats, Pop, R&B, and Trap

I have attached my SoundClound link to my music page where you can listen to my own self written music that is out currently, I am Looking forward to having you as one of my first references and making great music together !
