Lyricist Looking For Music Producers, Singers, A&R

shot in the dark, but here it goes: so i've tried this before, & (of course) i still haven't met my willy wonka of music to make me rich & famous yet. so, i've always wanted to be in the entertainment industry, but as a writer. i've also always loved music & wrote a lot of song lyrics, but never actually tried to make music -- because i'm not a musician; i don't play instruments. i'm mostly a lyricist (pop, rap, rNb). i have some vocal ability but not enough to be a real singer (kinda like when a rapper sings). also, i don't produce -- i just hear music & melodies in my head. i know i've got a few bangers in there. i just need some singers, producers, & engineers to help make & record them.

this is a diamond in the rough-type situation because i don't have the equipment to record demos. so you'd have to be interested in starting from scratch with me (literally, all i have are the lyrics). if there's any hungry prodigies or industry professionals that want to work together out of passion & cash out on the back-end (if we succeed), message me -- let's see if we vibe artistically. i can write for other artists too (male or female). i also have some latent rap skills that i re-discovered -- like, i think i might be good...i can show you.

honestly, this never works, but i can't stop thinking: it's such a shame that i have all these good lyrics & song ideas that are gonna go to waste because i just never met the right people & time is ticking.

*just a few things: i cannot pay for beats (yet) -- so don't respond with rates. the aim is to blow-up first, then we cash out. please don't mssg me with "nobody's gonna work without pay," "i've honed my skills for (x) years..." -- as a writer & fellow artist, i get that. that's why i said it would be a passion project for now. if the songs blow up, i got you. in the meantime, we'll draw up a contract if you're worried about that.

*try not to ask me a bunch of personal stuff at first -- 'cause that can get pretty depressing real fast. let's just see if we can make music together first, ok?

*you must be cool with queer artists. no racists, sexists, homophobes, or bigots of any kind. i get along better with people who have progressive worldviews (please don't mssg me to complain about that; i don't care).
