Collab? Need someone to produce

[edemel]

Hi all,

This is my first time posting on the forum. I've been a TAXI member for many years. I am a singer/songwriter in the singer/songwriter/adult contemporary genre. I can write lyrics but consider my strongest skill to be writing strong melodies. I also sing. My issue is production-Though I have decent equipment-I've never mastered the skill of production. I've hired producers but not knowing what the song should sound like, I end up with production that isn't up to snuff. I also can't afford to continue to pay high production costs. I'm hoping to find someone who will work with me as a collaborator that also has production skills or a collaborator who will share the cost of production. Contact me if this sounds like something that interests you. I will be happy to share samples of my work.

Sample tracks I've written

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I thought I'd get some sort of alert from Taxi and hadn't checked this collab page until today. I'm very excited that you'd like to try and work together. I'm a bit confused though. Are you John? Who is cristali? You started by saying you'd like to work together but then started speaking in third person. Please just clarify and then I'd love to chat to see how this would work.

Ok-I think I figured it out. You are John. You were just posting your write ups. I listened to a bunch of your stuff-really impressive. You've done a lot. Let me know.
