Simon Feenstra on SoundBetter

Simon joined the first live tour of "the pioneer of dance music" Giorgio Moroder as a lead and backup singer. He is the backup singer on the European leg of the show 'Elvis - Live on Screen feat. Priscilla Presley'. He also writes his own music. He can ooze vulnerability as well as pack a punch with his thrilling powerhouse vocals.

I will deliver you high quality lead/backing vocals or I'll write catchy toplines.

I will record for you with love, care and energy. I will treat your music as if it's my own. My carrier took me along various paths and makes me suitable for a lot of different tasks within the music industry.
These vocal stems will be recorded in Logic Pro, are all recorded at the same level and will also be edited by me. You'll get files that are clean and easy to work with.
The mic I use is the Shure SM7B.

A: I’ll bring energy, passion, different sounds and high quality vocalling. I also bring a range of 4 octaves for BV’s.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I listen to the track. Look and sing along with the sheet music (if it’s there). If it’s a full production I’ll start with the BV’s and with the top voicing. After double tracking I’ll start with the lead vocals. After all the recording I will edit all the tracks.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I record through a Shure SM7B. Cause I am a high tenor and have a lot of twang in my voice I love how this microfoon adds density. If it’s good enough for Michael it sure is for me. ;) I record in Logic Pro.
