Need a dreamy singer-songwriter for your dark track? Or an energetic one for EDM? Poetic & metaphor heavy or clear & simple pop lyrics? I can help you tell your story or bring a new one to the table. I can provide lyrics, melody, vocals, and/or toplining. Let's collaborate!
Services I provide:
- Songwriting (melody)
I'll send you a melody and chord progression recording for you to approve before recording and sending files/stems of lead & background vocals.
- Songwriting (lyrics)
We can write lyrics together with the topic of your choice or I can write something brand new.
- Topline Vocals
- Female Vocals

While sultry, chill and dark is my strong suit, I've done demo vocals and co-wrote for a wide range of genres. From EDM to folk to hip-hop to rock to jazz.
I've also been writing for my own artist project for 10+ years and within a year, my top track is at 250k+ Spotify streams and climbing.
I've worked with beginner producers and songwriters helping them craft their tracks and find the exact sound they want and gone out of my genre with the demo, backup vocals, and co-writing for two tracks off of Nancy Wilson's new record. Normally I keep this and my artist project separate, but I have featured and toplined on Majurakk's EDM track "Disaster".

I've worked with Gaby on multiple projects: her songs, my songs and songs we've both been hired to make. Gaby works fast and her ideas are so solid, she often times inspires me to tweak the productions to a better place.
For your haunting, dark, beautiful nostalgic tracks, Gaby delivers original, rich ideas that will give your song a personality that will distinguish it from others. Lastly, she is fun, thoughtful and witty which makes the in between moments of making a song much more enjoyable. You're in great hands with Gaby, cannot recommend her enough!
