Singer/Songwriter looking to work/complete or enhance your track. I sing and write with emotion and soul. Listen to the tracks I have on here to get an idea.
Im a singer/Songwriter/Producer from Australia with 12 years in the industry.
I'm always up for a collaborative approach to writing (or can work solo on your project - whatever the job entails) and will do as many redos until the track is finished.
I record clean vocals that I send dry to you.
I've had tracks played on FOX's "Pitch", SYFY's "The Magicians" films such as PAWNO, Measure for Measure, Commercials (RENAULT, TYREPOWER).
I've written for, supported or featured alongside
ED SHEERAN
OPIUO
LOCAL NATIVES
BETTY LAVETTE
URTHBOY
My Solo project (TEXTURE LIKE SUN) has well over a MILLION streams on Spotify and features on major Spotify playlists. I've also had chart success on the US ITUNES Charts.
For your project I will have a quick turnaround and I'm very communicative.
Im actually excited to work on new projects and create a great track for you.

Texture has been the best reincarnation of Jeff Buckley. He had shown amazing versatility, demonstrated in his capacity to sing from mellow blues to hard rock songs.

Overall a good job. The reason i am giving only 4 stars is because it took a little longer than expected. However, Mark was very responsive to revision requests which is much appreciated. Vocals were sung very well.
