All kinds, but mostly working in hard rock, industrial, electronic music.
I make a small income from commercial music for videogames, web series, advertisements, as well as ghostwriting and production. Here is an example of a more recent gaming project.
I have a few albums on Spotify of my personal music - collaborating with a singer friend.
Been writing music for… close to 20 years. I use Bitwig as my DAW of choice but used to be on trackers (Renoise) for a good chunk of it. Also a lot of experience in Logic, Pro Tools, Sony Acid (when that was a thing).
How'd you get into ghostwriting?
During the pandemic, I started a Fiverr account doing music for rock bottom prices. That’s pretty much it. Took about 4-5 days for the first gig to come in.
Once I got some good reviews under my belt, more people got interested - and I raised prices to match demand.
At some point, I started getting repeat customers who’d want to do bulk deals off-Fiverr and we started negotiating. Sometimes they’d recommend friends to come to you. There’s a lot of singers out there who have vague ideas they want to see it come to life. There’s a lot of bands out there who need songwriting support. All sorts of different projects, really. It’s pretty constant.
Thanks!
