About
I started singing online back in 2016 with (now defunct) BandHUB, and via that platform did over 300 collaborations. Over 200 of them I've published as videos on my YouTube channel (stegokitty).My skills and talents are singing vocals -- primarily Lead Vocals but if I've got some kind of help in hearing the harmony parts, I can memorize them and perform them as well. And I'm quite happy to provide BVs for another person's LVs.
I've also provided all manner of creative percussion, and I even bought an Ocarina to use in a cover of "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" theme song. Sadly I've never taken it back up, but I should.
Through the years, in befriending and working with wonderfully skilled and talented musicians from all over the world, I'm proud to say that they've caused me to work hard at honing my skills and talents, and have gained an even greater appreciation for the hard work that goes into even the simplest of songs done by professionals, and even more so when thinking of the greater productions.
I can definitely hear the improvement in my own voice, and I work very hard at it. I'm not happy until it's as good right as I can get possibly it.
I do have severe allergy attacks so there will be times when my contributions shall be delayed. But if you can be patient with me, I believe you'll agree that the wait is worth it. I will be very quick to let you know when the trouble begins and if you might want to search for a replacement if you really want the project completed soon ... for some reason ... even though this is all done for fun ;)
Other than Bandhug, I enjoy creating music collabs remotely, via Dropbox (or Google Drive, etc), and email. It’s the best way to get the highest quality audio and video, and even allows you to add special FX to bot, including mime and lip sync for creating music videos similar to what the pros do to promote their songs.
The great thing about Bandhug though, is that, in a real sense, you’re performing live. You’re not performing before a live audience, but once you press the RECORD button, it’s all you.
Anyway, I look forward to (hopefully) collaborating with you. My musical tastes are fairly wide, but discerning. I say “No” a lot more than I say “Yes”, so don’t take it personally. Sometimes I just don’t like the song … or I’ve already done that song, and I thought that the previous collab was good enough … or perhaps I know that I can’t do it well enough to put my name on it — beside that, I don’t want to ruin it for you, when there might be someone else in the community who’s just waiting for the opportunity to let their vocals shine.
Cheers!
