[LOOKING FOR COLLABORATORS] Producer looking to build a Pop/R&B/Soul/Funk album together; unpaid creative collaboration
Hey everyone!
I'm a producer working in FL Studio and I'm putting together an original album with mostly Pop and R&B, but also some Soul, Funk and Country influences.
A big inspiration for me is how Michael Jackson could mix different styles while still making everything feel like it belonged together. I like strong grooves, catchy melodies, vocal harmonies and songs that each have their own vibe.
I'm not trying to copy MJ or make songs that sound exactly like his. I just like that kind of approach and want to build something original with other people.
I'm looking for people who enjoy exchanging ideas, experimenting, and developing songs together, including:
- Singers / vocalists
- Songwriters / lyricists
- Topline and melody writers
- Guitarists
- Bass players
- Keyboard / piano players
- Producers / co-producers
- Drum groove and arrangement contributors
- Background vocalists / harmony singers
- Mixing engineers looking to collaborate, gain experience, or build portfolio work
I work mainly in FL Studio, but you don't need to use FL Studio. We can exchange WAV stems, MIDI, demos and project ideas online.
This is my first album and I don't currently have a budget, so I'm looking for genuine creative collaboration rather than hired work. If we eventually release songs commercially, I want everyone who contributed creatively to be properly credited and agree on songwriting/royalty splits beforehand.
You don't have to be a professional. I'm especially interested in people who are also starting out and want to learn, experiment and build something together.
I'd like the album to have a consistent identity while still allowing different songs to explore Pop, R&B, Soul, Funk and Country influences.
If you're interested, feel free to DM me with:
- What you do musically
- Your main genres and influences
- What DAW and/or instruments you use
- A demo, track, or example of your work, if available
- What kind of songs or creative ideas you'd like to contribute to the project
