Description : Another one of the new stripped back takes I did with songs from my last EP. This song I think I definitely like this stripped version more than the original. It was the last song I wrote for the project, and it was a cathartic moment for me, realizing that even though I'm not there yet, one day things will be better and looking back won't be so painful anymore.

Hey there austinmusic,
I've listened to a lot of your music on this site and absolutely love your voice and the emotion that you put into your songs. I don't know if you're interested in collaborations but I would love to collaborate with you on a song. I thought about just remixing one of your songs since I make EDM music but I figured I'd see if you want to create something original. I have a track that I'm working on right now that I was looking for some vocals and maybe a guitarist. It's sort of an Avicii style track if you know who he is. Here is a preview of it: https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/179276
I know it probably isn't your typical style but the song starts out with just a piano and it feels empty without a guitar or vocals. So, let me know if you're up for a collab. If not, that's fine and keep doing what you're doing because your music is amazing!

You remind me so much of some of the most popular singers nowadays. You have a knack for bringing out the emotions in words, which is really difficult for just about every singer out there today. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll get noticed eventually with a voice like this.

Thank you Brado! My songs are my diary, so it's hard for me not to feel the emotions when I'm singing them, so I'm glad it's translating.

Your vocals are really beautiful, and they are astoundingly mesmerizing. Evocative track here. Great single.

Have to agree with you austinmusic...there is just something special..perhaps to my mind also more honest about just a good song well delivered (you really nailed the feeling) and accompanied with the acoustic guitar..the little additions really embellish it just perfectly...superb fat sound you have going down on record with that acoustic....This is one hell of a fine song and a superb performance by you...definite fav for me...and a big well done to you....keep on...Ed

Wow! Thank you so much! I agree that a song stripped back can be special, I think it adds something to it sometimes. So glad you enjoyed it.

Description : I like to play with myself... Thats not how that sounded in my head lol. I finally am satisfied with my digital VST band. I have a Drum, Bass, Lead Guitar, Rhodes/Keyboard, Synth and some go-to Vocals.
Now all I need is some good ideas for tracks and more practice on my Mix/Mastering game.
This track is a slow 97.5 "Chill-ish", I'm trying out my new Band :)

PEACE...

Description : This short audio introduces MossFree Shoreline, a roof care service based in Shoreline, Washington. It explains how moss spreads across wet Pacific Northwest roofs, creeps under the shingles, and holds moisture against the roof all year long, and how a gentle soft wash removes that moss without damaging the shingles. It also covers the other services mentioned in the audio: moss treatment and prevention, gutter cleaning, and roof leak detection. roofmossremovalshorelinewa.com

Description : Made with a good amount of out of tune on a very minory chordy tuning I did about a week or two ago.

Lyrics are literally just an absolutely abrasive and unrecognizable part of the verse to John Lennon's Working Class Hero which
illuminates my bullying more than any song I have come across ever.

I named it bandit as a sort of that's what you get to society for people like me
