My name is Mr Bailey and I also go under my company name Mr Bailey Music. I am a singer, songwriter, producer, and I also mix and master songs too. I started off singing backing vocals on many top 10 pop albums, and then turned my attention to writing and producing. I am extremely thorough in my work and always pay great attention to detail.
I can provide a great demo vocal for those wanting their songs sang at a high level. Of course I provide prestine backing vocals and clean edits for the finish product. I also edit other peoples vocals and actually pride myself on making sure that everything sounds bright and clear, as my background in music initially started with singing. I also produce beats and mix and master as well. AIong with all those skills I also give vocal training sessions via skype for those who 1. Find it more comfortable and 2. Who live far from me. I delve into subjects such as pitching, clarity, precision, diction, scales etc etc. As a writer of course offering this service goes without saying, and with all the right components in place writing and co-writing is an absolute pleasure. The beauty of creativity is that it actually knows no boundaries, so the sky really is the limit. My services are professional, I work hard, I work well and I love doing what I do......And what I do is music.
I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.
