Howdie,
Just now I created this demo track on one of @mrfloridakeyz riddims.
Though most artistes would rather you wait for the official release, I like to show the process. And for unestablished aristes like myself, distributing on web 2 platforms, well lets just say there is no rush.
Though the chorus has been in my mind for a long time, I never actually sat down and wrote a song. I did what I call medz writing. I meditate with the riddim by simply listening to it for some time. Could be a day or even months.
Now with the help of an app called Bandlab, I was able to add a new creation process using my phone and the stock headphones to create the song as I go, track by track, bar by bar, pausing at times to listen and think of ideas.It is like having a little studio in your packet.
A well established dancehall artiste, Mavado actually uses a similar process as I was lucky enough to see him at a friend’s studio when he was just breaking out into the mainstream. But that is how he voiced songs for releases, bar by bar, punching in and out, creating ideas as he goes along.
The Concept
The concept is me talking to my future kin folk in nowadays Dancehall style, motivating them to do their best for the next genration. While at the same time motivating myself.
Well I actually wrote one verse,
interstingly the app even has a writing section where you can jot down lyrics and for the last verse I did just that. It was a verse I wanted to be more thoughtful and carry an everlasting messsage.
Well, take a listen and tell me what you think. I will listen to it to actually catch the lyrics and vibes of the song and get ready for recording in the studio.

Nice one Bredda...the beat &lyrics ! The voice recording is kinda "muddy". Is it still good enough to keep on mixing it....or do you just record the idea like that, and re-record the vocals clean(er)?
Bless Up
You know is just a demo creation but I need to start just sort them out while them
Hot with the right set up so I can punch out songs faster.
Think im gonna try connect the BandLab app to an audio interface so I can navigate with the phone and punch in and out easier.
.. punch in and out easier...
That's definitely a game changer considering recording ideas fast &
transform them into songs... the recording quality is the most important question. If it is good enough you could use that first recording already for the mix...
Bro this is 🔥❤️🔥
Talking about Hive over this dope beat and some great vocals. You’re doing it right 😎
Respect man. Gotta represent the HIVE,
I should focus on making more tunes but so much content out there I like to make LOL
I totally understand. I find myself switching between content types all of the time. At least there is no penalty for that. You're good at music though, so definitely create some more soon!
HAhah that is true, especially on HIVE. Gonna start focusing on the music side a bit more as it is something I can monetize in various ways and it is fun. Thanks man!
Cool
Bless up man!
This is really awesome Bro, the BandLab App is impressive indeed!

Thanks Andy, yes indeed it is time to go deeper as creation is the key in these times, gotta have something to call your own.
Hahah, well hopefully I get famous and jAHM becomes the token from a worldwide reggae star. Yeah man, it is time to go deeper with music and JAHM
Respect man! Happy IRIE Thursday from here!
