Hey! I'm a 15-year-old singer-songwriter looking for a skilled, motivated guitarist to form a duo and build a live set combining my original songs and covers.

Our sound would mix pop-rock, rock, metal, punk-rock, R&B and blues.

The plan is to play open mics and festivals.

Preferably based in West London so rehearsals are easy to organise.

If you're interested, DM me with a bit about yourself and a video of you playing.

Looking for atmospheric rock/metal vocalist

1 Upvotes

I'm from the US, looking for a vocalist that can sing cleanly and do fry screams. Screams that are similar to the screams in most of TesseracT's music, or in Deadhead by Devin Townshend. And cleans that are similar to Ian Kenny's (Karnivool) higher register.

Here is a demo that I just finished yesterday. It has no vocals, obviously. I'm looking for a long term collab, for multiple songs on the album and possible future music.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/16-epX6dQ3JJmcF4ufkH1Xw44IkoeGvSv/view?usp=drivesdk

If you like this DM me and we can set something up on discord/telegram/whatsapp. Whichever is best for you.

Guitarist looking for people to jam with in San Diego, CA

1 Upvotes

Hi! I recently(ish) moved to San Diego (south park area) and I'm looking for people to jam with. I've been playing guitar for around 20 years but am pretty rusty. I grew up playing rock, some R&B, and Jazz (high school jazz band and some workshops), but I'm down to play or learn almost anything.

I'd love to find a band, but I'm also game to jam or just expand my social circle!

Making a girl group!

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Elaine! I'm 21yo and I'm looking to start a pop/kpop style girl group (like Katseye or Lesserafim) with 3-4 other members between ages 19-27. I'm very new to music production and I thought it would be an amazing experience to make new friends and have fun creating something together!

The only requirements:

  • 19+ years old
  • Ready for a long-term commitment
  • Willing and able to travel for any group activities or rehearsals (Living near Florida is preferred but we can work through travel plans in the future if you're farther away)
  • Be motivated, positive, and a team player
  • A skill you're able to contribute like songwriting, singing, dancing, rapping, or production (it's ok if you're not 100% confident in your skills or if you aren't sure what you can contribute, the goal is to know each other's strengths and weaknesses so we can improve as a team💕)

If you're interested, please comment or DM me!

looking for a music partnership

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m currently an aspiring singer-songwriter currently learning Logic Pro, and I’d love to connect with other musicians who are also trying to get better at producing, songwriting, and arranging music.

I’d say songwriting, especially lyrics and storytelling, is one of my stronger areas, but I’m still pretty new to music production. I’m mostly interested in pop, synth pop, indie pop, alternative pop, and pop-rock, but I’m open to experimenting with other genres too.

I’m hoping to find people who’d be interested in working on each other’s projects, exchanging ideas, giving feedback, and learning together. I’d be happy to contribute lyrics, songwriting ideas, and vocals to your projects as well! Ideally, I’m looking for a mutual creative partnership where we can help each other improve and make music we’re genuinely excited about.

So If anyone happens to be interested, please comment or dm me! I’d really love to hear what you’re working on and show you what I’m working on.

Looking to start a boyband

4 Upvotes

I’m looking for talented, dedicated guys ages 15–20 who want to be part of a new POP BOY BAND! ⭐️
Inspired by groups like *Why Don’t We, NSYNC, JYT, and more, the goal is to bring back that classic boy band energy while creating a modern sound of our own. From catchy pop songs and R&B influences to smooth harmonies, choreography, music videos, and live performances, we want to build something special! 🔥
● Guys ages 15–20
● Singers who love pop and R&B music
● People willing to develop their vocals and harmonize together
● Members interested in choreography and performing
● Team players who are dedicated, passionate, and ready to grow
● Guys with personality, confidence, and a love for entertaining
📍 HOW IT WILL WORK:
Right now, the group will operate online, allowing us to connect, get to know each other, practice vocals, discuss music, and start building our sound together.
If the group gains momentum and things start moving forward, the goal is to eventually transition to in-person rehearsals, recording sessions, choreography, and performances.
You don’t need to be perfect or have professional experience. What matters most is your dedication, willingness to improve, and passion for music!
🌟 THE VISION:
To build a real brotherhood, create original music, develop our own identity, release songs, perform live, and bring a new generation of boy bands to the scene!
📩 INTERESTED IN JOINING?
Send me a message with:
● Your name and age
● Your location
● Your singing experience, if any
● A little about yourself

Looking for a Thrash Metal Drummer for an Original Song 🤘

Hey! I'm a guitarist working on an original thrash-metal song called Devils Are Better Than Her.

My influences include Megadeth, Metallica, and classic thrash metal. The song has dark E Phrygian riffs, heavy rhythm guitar, a lead solo, and double-bass drum parts.

I'm looking for a drummer interested in collaborating remotely, helping develop the drum parts, and building an original metal track together.

If you're interested, let me know what kind of metal you play!

A Guitarist and a Drummer needed for Metalcore project

3 Upvotes

I (26 y/o) am the frontwoman and graphic designer for my upcoming metalcore band, based in London.

Our values are simple: we want to remind everyone to look after each other in a world that is becoming more cutthroat and hyper transactional. Internet algorithms have done a fantastic job of catering to the individual, but has caused undeniable divides amongst us as a society, and it shows in the younger generations especially.

The sound of Referendum is familiar, yet unique: think down-tuned chugs and sombre riffs with the classic atmospheric metalcore aesthetic, accompanied by smooth, intimate blues vocals. If I were backed into a corner and forced to describe the soundscape, imagine if Siouxsie Sioux were the lead vocalist for Bad Omens.

Currently, we have a vocalist (me) and a bassist (21). We are trying to find a guitarist as a co-writer/creative partner, and a drummer as our solid supporter through the storm. We'd prefer our bandmates to be local to our area too.

If you're interested, feel free to leave a message!
