Songwriting and Recording

For my senior project, I wanted to do something that I would never get sick of. Music is the only thing that came to my mind. Music is what I want to pursue in my future. I am a singer/songwriter, and have been singing since I could talk. However, I had never recorded any music in a studio before this experience. For this project and for my passion for music, I composed three separate music tracks on the piano and guitar, and wrote full lyrics for each one. I pre-recorded the foundation of my songs in my bedroom with my own microphone before working in a local studio in Randolph and recording each of my songs professionally. In the 92 hours I had the honor of spending in the studio, I learned from my mentor how to put together a song, start to finish.

Below is my finished product, which are my final songs, live recorded, mixed, and mastered. To listen, click on the link. It will bring you the song audio. Click play. You will hear many instruments in my songs. I am so happy to acknowlege Vincent Freeman ( my mentor ) on drums and Angus Davis on bass. I am responsible for the vocals, guitar, and the shaker : ) Below each of my tracks is the visual album cover for the specific track. I designed each album cover myself. Each of my singles will have a debut release within the next month on all streaming services, but for now, I hope you enjoy my final product.
