I grew up a musical family. We sang gospel, motown, r&b, and soul. Then I found that rock music! For the last 14 years I was touring with a classic rock tribute band. Singing a varitey of rock from the 50s to the 90s, now I'm singing country, folk, and Americana in a traveling acoustic duo. I have also started my own band that will cover my originals. I'm collaborating with awesome musicians. Now I wanna collab with you!

    On top of having an amazing voice, Layloni takes direction well and really delivers for whatever creative vision you have. Not only would I hire her again, but I'm already thinking of songs with her in mind in the near future.

    Having past experience recruiting Layloni, I can say that she's a hard working professional capable of hitting tight deadlines. The quality of vocals sent for the project was perfect to produce, arrange and mix. They are able to work with direction, or creative freedom, and excell at execution of feedback. Strong points include flexibility with the end result.

    Having heard a range of what they have worked on at peer review sessions, they have a strong sense of "writing to the song". The upcoming solo album will be one to watch for, if the sneak peek was any kind of indication.

Interview with Layloni Ghee

  1. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  4. A: I'm in the middle a finishing up my solo demo album.

  5. Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?

  7. Q: Analog or digital and why?

  8. A: Digital. It's what I grew up on. It's what I know.

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

  10. A: I promise to give you my best. I'm driven and enthusiastic!

  11. Q: What do you like most about your job?

  12. A: I love that it doesn't feel like a job. I love to help people finish their songs. Bringing more music to the world from people who wouldn't have been heard otherwise because they felt stuck. When a song comes to life! That. That's what it's about.

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

  14. A: Can you add harmony, or backing vocals? Yes I normally can that just costs extra.

  15. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  16. A: Some people think I can sing anything. While I can sing many different genre and I'm a versatile singer, I do have my limitation. I am human.

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

  18. A: What's the style of the project? When do you need it by? What are you planning to do with it? Is this the final mix of instruments? Do you have any reference tracks?

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

  20. A: Make sure you are willing to have a conversation. Let's find out what exactly you are looking for.

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

  22. A: Mic, interface, laptop, cellphone, acoustic bass

  23. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  24. A: I'm an artist, who loves to perform on stage. Someday I'll be able to perform on a grand stadium arena stage, where people have paid to come see me sing my songs they know the words to. I have been singing all of my life and that won't stop.

  25. Q: How would you describe your style?

  26. A: Retro mezzo voice, somewhere between Rock and Soul. Paul Stanley meets Tina Turner.

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

  28. A: Lzzy Hale. I'm just in awe of her style. She's been the business for so long, touring and performing the kind of music I love. I would love to sing a song with her or just pick her brain.

  29. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  30. A: I like to put compression on before going in. It makes so I can whisper, or I can really let loose and there isn't any noticeable jumps in the sound wave.

  31. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  32. A: I usually work on rock music but I can definitely do other styles.

  33. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  34. A: I'm was born and raised with singing. Growing up I thought life was musical and everyone sang. In a lot of ways, my life still is a musical. Singing is my strongest skill.

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

  36. A: I'm an emotional person and I bring those emotions to the song. I like to understand what the song is about. I want to feel your song.

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

  38. A: When I'm working on someone elses song I like to sing through it enough times to know it in my whole body. Then I like to hold the words in my left hand (even though I know the words) and record a take as if I'm performing it on stage. Then I will go back and do more takes for comping. I also like to start with some compression on my voice but not much else.

  39. Q: Tell us about your studio setup.

  40. A: I have a Beringer B1 Mic, and Tascam 16x8 interface. I use Adobe Audition for my DAW. I have a Washburn bass.

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

  42. A: I love Iron Maiden, Dio, Lzzy Hale from Halestorm, P!nk, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott, Adelle, Jack Black off the top of my head. The list goes on and on. I really appreciate a strong vocal. Someone who can sing the ingredients of a shampoo bottle and it hits so hard you gotta sit from all the feels.

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

  44. A: I have been hired to sing many different styles. Mostly singing but I have also been hired to write lyrics as well.
