Hi everyone.

I’m Rick and I make a mix of alternative and electric rock. I retired a bit early from my day job so I can focus on things that make me more fulfilled (like music) and am doing this to make sure that I’m able to share it with folks that are interested in it.

My short term goals are to get efficient enough and content creation so I can release a new single every 4-6 weeks (and have it be easy) along with more frequent YouTube content.

I also make guitars - and if you watch my stuff many of the instruments I play I’ve actually made.

Cheers! I can’t wait to meet everyone here

I’m Jeff Thomas from Seattle, Washington. My brother Dan and I just recently released our first record as dime nineteen. We have the crazy idea that we can jump back into the music industry in our 60s after being away for several decades while we raised our families. We never stopped writing and playing, though, and there you have it.

Hey Guys!

My name is Anton Karunungan. I’m not a music producer, but I’m an artist manager for a new and developing EDM artist by the name of Sails Øut. I’m only 21 years old, so I’m a full-time student at uni studying music technology and audio engineering. Besides my A&R pursuits, I volunteer at a semi-mega church as a live studio engineer.

My short-term goals for my artist are establishing his brand, organically creating his fanbase, and having a successful North American Tour. My long-term goals for my artist are performing at Ultra Miami, creating a label around my artist, and having a successful international tour.

An interesting fact about myself is that I’ve performed as a percussionist for eight years before calling it quits pre-pandemic 2020. I specialize in the 4-mallet marimba, timpani, snare drum, and various auxiliary percussive instruments. I’ve marched in drumline in both HBCU style and DCI style marching bands.

I’ve been a part of DKMBA since January. I can’t wait to connect and network with people on here! Amazing feature for members!

Hello everyone

I hope your all doing well.
My names John Bruce though I play under the slightly different name Johnjames Bruce (A hint towards a family tradition) and I’m from Accrington, Lancashire.

I play acoustic based alternative indie/post-punk music.
My short term goal is to learn how to connect with my niche audience.
My long term goals are to find and test the boundaries of live music settings and I would also love to headline the The Minack Theatre.

Interesting fact, My first ‘live performance’ of a solo artist was busking with a ukulele on Mount Snowdon while hiking.

You can find me on insta or facebook @johnjamesbruce

Hi all, I’m Josh Alan and I’m a solo rock artist under the guise of ‘Josh Alan and the Scattered Fragments’. I’m a Brit who relocated to France a couple of years back and after a long break from music I’m getting back on it with this project.

I released a 6 track record in December and am looking to promote an upcoming single that I have just finished mixing.

My goal with project is to have something that can be self supporting financially and possibly could contribute to my general living costs.

Interesting fact? My guitar teacher at University was in Cradle of Filth at the time.

Hey There!

I’m Sanny Veloo - a singer, songwriter and guitar player from Melbourne, Australia.

I make rock’n’roll music influenced by Weezer, Lenny Kravitz, KISS, Oasis, Guns’N’Roses, Presidents of the USA, Queen, Beatles, Beach Boys to name a few. I’m also a huge guitar nerd and love BB King, Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Gary Clark Jr, Slash, Tom Morello, Santana & Kirk Hammett!

My short term goals is to get everything in place and ready to release my 1st ever solo single. I’ve been in three bands before but this is the first time I’m doing things as a solo artist!

My long term goals (I’m just gonna set the intention out there to the unverse) is to get 1,000,000 streams on Spotify with 6 single releases! How yet I’m not sure, and I’m not sure how I can fund everything entirely yet, but I’m sure it will unravel itself.

An interesting fact about myself: I once got banned from performing live in Singapore by the Singapore government because a punk band that I was in back in the day called the Borephucks accidentally started a riot at a festival during our set when I got carried away and swore on stage.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and listening to your music!

Hey!! This is awesome!!

You can only ever release your first single once, so this is really exciting, especially when it’s your first solo one!! :slight_smile:

I reckon you can get there with 6 for sure with playlist support from Spotify.

Make sure you hit up the private fb community too - www.facebook.com/groups/damiankeyescommunity for day to day chat :slight_smile:

Hey there my name is Richard and I make acoustic and metal music. I’m started play guitar when I was 15 and still. I started to record myself in 2018 with a small audio interface and a MacBook Air. Now I’m able to record myself at a semi professional levels.

Hello.

I’m Andrew, but most people call me Buz. I’m more of a producer than an artist these days, but I have recently revived a psytrance project from way back when and I’m looking to really “give it a go” over the coming months.

Aside from that, I’ve been making hip hop instrumentals and doing some mixing and mastering from my home studio as and when.

Looking forward to being part of this forum/community, learning lots, getting some new music in my playlists and having some accountability.
