Bio

Art school admin by day, musician by night.

I play the piano, guitar, and sing. I grew up singing Motown songs at parties and weddings with my dad's band so music has always been a big part of my life. I love a wide variety of music with indie rock being my general fave. I love stuff like Elliott Smith, Radiohead, The Arcade Fire, etc... but I also love more electronic stuff like LCD Soundsystem and Daft Punk.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment on "Rushing In, Rushing Out," Jazmine! I so appreciate it. I was already thrilled with the way the song came out as a first shot, but when @wurzelfrau came back with harmonies, I was completely over the moon and still continue to be! So glad you liked it as well!

Great to see you back here! Really enjoying your songs so far - can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Hey, sure - happy to share my kit-list! I use FL studio on a PC, and I have an USB soundcard (Tascam US122) with two inputs. I plug the electric and bass guitars straight into the soundcard to record and then use amp simulators in FL studio (mostly free plugins off the internet). I record vocals and acoustic guitars using a large diaphragm condenser mic (I have an SE2200A). That's pretty much it...thanks for the compliment about production - it's something I've been trying to work on lately

Hi there Jazmine... Good to see you have some new stuff up here. I was (very slowly) going through the songs that I downloaded last year to start catching up on those folks this year and so I am glad you sent me a note. "One" was definitely a fav last year. You've now moved to the top of the list. Looking forward to hearing your new songs! Not sure what I'll get done this year, but we'll see. Have fun!

Howdy, you coming back? I thought "One" was a hit last year so I'd enjoy hearing some more smooth jazzy vocals from your direction.

I also still listen to "Only Shadows," it comes on from time to time and is always a pleasant surprise

'lo? FAWMing this year? I still listen to Only Shadows, and I've had it stuck in my head on quite a few occasions since last year! Hoping to hear some more new stuff from you soon...
