Vocalists wanted for recording

Musician, singer-songwriter Ben Webb is looking for vocalists for a new project.

Ben writes: “Basically I’m looking for both a Female and Male vocalist for a Dance/Electro track I’m producing.  It’s going to be aimed for placements in the gaming industry as well as possible film/tv.  Vocal style, along the lines of Jessie J, Katy B, Magnetic Man, Pitbull and Far East Movement.

Another track, I’m looking for a Male vocalist, in the style of David Gray, The Script, Matt Kearny.  It’s an Adult Contemporary, singer-songwriter track aimed for Film and TV placement. Note this one is rather urgent, as I already have projects that I can pitch to, but don’t yet have the master!There will be a chance of huge exposure for the artists chosen for recording!

Ask people to email me on ben_webb@live.com with a link to past recorded projects so I can hear how they sound recorded.”

Handsworth Evolution – a documentary by Robin Valk for Birmingham Music Heritage

Robin Valk says “It’s all there – the story of how the children of those early post-war immigrants came up with a vital new approach to reggae, mixed, matched and mashed up… and invented whole new styles of music along the way. And right now, there’s even a third generation doing new and vital stuff. Now, with the blessing of Birmingham Music Heritage, whose commission it was, I am making it available via Sound Cloud, after the jump. Know what? I love internet publishing.

The programme is in three parts – I built it so it would allow for a news bulletin and breaks for promos and/or ads. It’s also on offer to local community stations for rebroadcast, gratis – email me, using the link at the botton of this post, and I’ll send you a DropBox invite. In the meantime, tag away to your hearts’ content on the Soundcloud files.”
