Lixine Vela on SoundBetter

Whether you're looking for smooth, airy vocals, heartfelt songwriting, or catchy hooks for your project, I will deliver. I offer a unique vocal texture and a natural feel for melody and lyric flow. I’m dedicated to delivering high-quality, polished recordings.

Heyyy, I'm Lixine. I sing, write and I am a multi-instrumentalist.

For the saxophone or the flute, I parts already composed by you (by ear or with sheet music) or improvise my own riffs or solo, fitting to the track's genre and vibe. Be it Pop, Soul, Jazz etc.

I provide a quick turnaround with pro recording equipment from an acoustically-treated studio.

I have performed in Jazz festivals, both playing the sax and singing.

Stems will be sent as 24-bit WAV files, ready to load into your session.

Send me an email through 'Contact' button above and I'll get back to you asap.

Absolutely loved working with Lixine on her tunes. She’s a truly talented writer, musician and vocalist, who’s not afraid of bring creative and go beyond typical sounds, chord progression, or time measures.

Plus she has a great collaborative spirit! Lixine for the win!

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I have a questionnaire I give the client which allows me to understand exactly what their vision is so that I can offer a great service.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would take my acoustic guitar, a solar powered recording device, my notebook and pencil, and my sax.

A: My strongest skill is melodies.
Q: What's your typical work process?

Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Lianne LA Havas, UMI, FKJ
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
