Carδamo on SoundBetter

I'm Carδamo, a multiple-award-winning Vocalist, Violinist, Top-liner and Producer, from London. I specialise in Pop/RnB/Soul, although I'm extremely versatile, and have a comprehensive knowledge of musical theory.

I grew up in Hertfordshire and trained as a classical violinist, I migrated to studying Production and Audio in my adolescence and since progressed to post graduate level.

I've been singing professionally for a good 10 years now so I feel comfortable in any recording setting. I have a great interest in vocal biology which has led me to explore the boundaries of my voice, making me quite a versatile singer. I'm up for singing/rapping in any style. I also have a passion for languages, and speak several so I can sing in them as well.

I'm very easy going and I encourage constructive criticism. I don't like when people try and hold back if they're not 100% happy with something, and I'll always do my best to help in any and every way I can.

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Carδamo

  1. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  2. A: Jacob Collier. He is, I believe, the most inspiring artist of my generation whether it comes to production, singing, composition, theoretical knowledge or any other practice.

  3. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  4. A: I have a pretty basic home-studio but with some lovely microphones and a decent set of monitors, enough to get jobs done.

  5. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  6. A: Jacob Collier, Jordan Rakei, Andrew Huang, Dorian Electra, COMANAVAGO, Fatoumata Diawara, Usted Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Charlie Puth, Shygirl, Count Baldor, Charli XCX.

  7. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  8. A: I usually provide main vocals, backing vocals, string lines for other artists' work as well as producing tracks for a wide range of genres.

  9. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  10. A: I will do my very best in getting the job you need done to the highest standard.

  11. Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

  12. A: Is _____ possible? / Can you make it sound like _____ ? Yes, everything is possible, just give me a second to figure it out!

  13. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  14. A: What character are you going for? How do you want the listener to feel? Are there any artists/tracks as reference?

  15. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  16. A: Try and know what you want from me, the more explicit your instruction, the easier and quicker my job is. That being said, be open to creative experimentation, a dialogue about healthy collaboration can be much more beneficial to a track than a strict set of lines to colour inside of.

  17. Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

  18. A: My Laptop, a Scarlett 2i, my SM7b, my Roland Phantom and my cans

  19. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  20. A: Quirky-Vibrance in my string writing, Any range of emotions, power and mellow tone in my vocals.

  21. Q: What's your typical work process?

  22. A: I typically work swiftly as I've grown as a recording artist/producer to the point where I don't do things separately, I'll usually record group parts and apply basic processing as I go, so I can continue to hear the end "vision" as I progress.
