As I’ve mentioned in another post and this one, songwriting has always been a passion of mine. When I’m not coding, in my off time you can usually find me hunched over the piano or guitar typing lyrics and chords on a note app.
There definitely has been a lot of self-doubt about releasing personal and intimate tracks recently because:
- My voice & my intonation is a bit weird – I broke my jaw over 20 years ago and I have severe nerve damage in my lips, ahh
- Besides a couple close relatives, almost no one I know will like, comment, or even share my music 😅
- I really don’t have the best recording equipment, I built a little studio but it’s still kind of ghetto-fabulous
- I’m not actually sure how a singing web developer is taken by potential clients and customers, guess we’ll find out
“Woah! I expect like after I hear like a live type performance just expect like a whole crowd like going crazy, dude that was dope. They’re giving you good critiques in the in the chat because, and you said it’s a live version. So you know honestly, dude. I want to feature on that shit, spit, a verse or something. You can just sing your ass off, man sing your ass off, show people you’re talented and you you you’ll carve your own lane, you know. And that’s what’s really about.”

It was really cool to hear an external third-party review of my own live vox & piano track. It’s a quiet song, down-tempo, just me and the piano which is where I feel the most comfortable in regards to both songwriting and recording.
