TO ALL SINGERS, LYRICISTS WITHOUT A BAND!!!!

THE FUTURE OF MUSIC – FROM ALL COUNTRIES

I have been writing here before about my digital music. Simply, when I started this I wanted to make my own songs! :-) Are you in? I did not felt myself comfortable just singing others music, karaoke and so on. I am also a lyricist,  Soo….
———————————————————————————————————————————

Are you without a band but a singer? Do you have tips for making music? Are you sitting there in your living room with your computer and just join online karaoke sites? Do you have knowledge in any music Software? Feel free to contact me and join the group WeGoDigital!

Also wanted to share some valuable links to those of us making our music digitally. (below) You can put time and effort in making music both in real but also digtally. You have a thought about a song, you miss the text but have created the music piece. You have the lyrics but no music or you are a singer without any of these. Then find collaboration with other musicians, preferably digitally making musicians.

This is a chance for the people who does not yet have a band, a thing taking time to set up. If you can make notes, if you have an “ear” for the sound and some knowledge in making the notes then you are in a good position. More practice gives you more knowledge, the more you make the more you learn and after a while you can slow down your tempo and concentrate on the quality….hence from the beginning and certainly on the net,  you mostly see and produce demos. Should you be offered a contract you probably have to re-record this pieces in a studio anyway.

Finally, see all music pieces on the net as demos. I am listening to a lot of bands, professional bands,  but sometimes I hear a very bad recording while listening on the net, also you can be offered just a 20 sec sample in many places. Also some of my own early creations sounds less good in quality.

Of course, they often do not put full quality songs on the net because of the piracy risk. Many are recording in 96kpbs, while 128kbps use to be the minimum and 192kbps should be. To sell your recording yourself (not via any company) you should record in 224kbps. That´s my experience, otherwise people do not want to buy it.

So, come on all digital music makers! Do not just sit there. You have a lot to give, at least something.

Feel free to contact me with any questions. And of course, feel free to visit my site http://sivanto.se, or Myspace site (join the group) and listen through my demos on my site.

I sing rock, easy listening, ballads, funk and some country and actually I have been awarded three times since 2006. Therefore I want to share this idea.

Artist Of The Week – Ledina Çelo, Albania

Ledina Celo – Vagabond nga dashuria (Vagabonds of Love)

http://muzika.albasoul.com

Ledina

Official Site
http://www.ledinacelo.net/


Ledina Celo, an interesting Albanian artist. She has captured my interest for some years now. Born in Tirana, Albania 1977 she grew up, later finished the artistic Lyceum “Jordan Mischa” and she also studied at Academy Of Beutiful Art, within Pedagogy.

Check out her video in my video collection

1.”In 1995 she wins the second prize in RTV Song Festival with her song “E Doni Dashurine” (You Like Love). Then, in1995 she wins the first prize with her song “Fal” (Forgive). In 1998-1999 she goes on tour throughout Europe. In 2000, she continues to build her artistic career, pursuing a modeling career in London. During that time, she launches her first album in Albanian

She went to London for a while, and when returning in 2001 she won a price for the “best singer” in a contest with the song “Netët e Klipit Shqiptar” .

Ledina has also participated in the second edition of “Star Academy” in Paris, and there signed a contract within musical comedy.

Her tours has been wide and she has also been active in Beirut and Lybia.

I suppose no one has forgotten her entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2005, in Kiev – “Neser Shkoj” (I will Go Tomorrow) which is a lovely rhytmic song where her voice come to its right. Keep an eye on this lady as I believe in that she will release more interesting material in the future.
