In production with Jacqueline Tolken

 

Late in 2022 I was contacted by Song For You, and ended up working on a track written by the owner: Adéle Tolken. You can see detail of that post here and here. In that post, I mentioned that Adéle said she is also working with her sister, Jacqueline Tolken to perform vocals for Song For You. I remember when Adéle spoke to me initially and talked about Jacqueline, that coincidently a few weeks before, I've discovered Jacqueline on Sound Cloud. After listening to some of her performances there, I actually messaged her at the time and shared how I loved the soul in her voice. And here we are now from an unrelated event, working together! Maybe it's more than coincidence that we are all connected now, the music universe seems mysterious sometimes.

So, the track that I worked on for Adéle, recently had the vocals performed by Jacqueline for Song For You, and it is filled with that blues vibe I found on her Sound Cloud profile.

Jacqueline is a seasoned artists with lots of experience and skill, and her vocal performance becomes one with the music. This is the kind of person that really makes producing for me worth while. I can't wait to get going again on this production.

But don't listen to me getting all hyped up, go check her out for yourself: Jacqueline Tolken

Started production with Aurora Adams

 

I found Aurora in a music group on Facebook. Her profile says "Aurora is a friendly, tea drinking, actor/puppeteer, voice artist and writer from London." And from what I've seen so far it is a very fitting description for this multi talented lady.

We are collaborating in a production for a rock blues ballad, something similar to Black Velvet. She is testing out her talents of writing and singing, while I am busy with the music. So far it's been pretty impressive with what Aurora has came up with.

Go check out her profile and what creativity she is up to again.

Starting production for Adéle from Songforyou.co.za

Adéle stumbled upon me on the internet and shared some details about what they are exactly doing at Song For You, where she is the founder. I think their website says it all: YOUR PERSONAL STORIES, LYRICS OR POEMS INTO A SONG & PRE-PRODUCTION SERVICES. How cool is that!  Besides serious song writing (including melody and chords), she also mentioned some great talent she is working with (including Lize Mynhardt https://www.lizemynhardt.com and Jacqueline Tolken https://jtolken.wixsite.com/jacquelinetolken). She shared some details of what they've achieved, and it's clear that she's done this for a while. Needless to say we've decided to collaborate on a song (written by her), and I can't wait to get going with working together with her and the team. Go check out what https://songforyou.co.za/ is all about, they might have something tailored just for you. And oh, tell them I've sent you ;)

Starting Production for Dimitri

 Dimitri has written many blues funk songs, with the acoustic guitar capturing the genre quite well. We've decided to work together on "She", and while we're busy finishing it you can find the original version on his profile here: https://demian.band/

Started Production for Kuu

  I stumbled across Kuu while looking for new vocals, and found some of her work on http://voclio.com. Man, was I mesmerized! I decided to purchase the track right away. She kindly agreed to assist me with working on something she wrote, and I can't wait.

I find myself often listening to her vocals by itself. She has a way of capturing the listener's attention, rewarding your senses with carefully chosen lyrics, enriched with soothing and sensitive sounds, reaching deep within.

Watch this one closely, and expect big things. linkfly.to/kuusound

Production in progress for Shayna The Singer

It's always fun to work with Shayna, and a pleasure as her vocal skills are of a high standard. We've been busy on her next track, which is a emotional ballad with deep meaning to her. The vocals has been recorded already, so now the production is going strong again and catching good momentum. By now we understand each other when it comes to producing music, and I can't wait for this track to be finished.
