Gabriel Isaac on SoundBetter

Hello! My name is Gabriel, I am an 18 y/o 4th gen singer/songwriter with connections to Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. I specialize in writing songs and melodies from simple pop/hip-hop ballads to complex folk and indie lyrics and everything in between! I am so down to help anyone I can in the music community create something they are proud of!

Songwriting (lyrics)
-I can write lyrics to a structured song based on your desired subject, vision, and energy.
-I can provide elocution services to lyrics already written, such as making certain lines smoother and more grammatical, as well as making certain words hit harder verbally, emotionally, and rhythmically.
-I can be a second mind in the song-writing process, helping you come up with the best lyrics possible over phone call/facetime/zoom.

Songwriting (melody)
-I can create a top line vocal melody that is comfortable for your voice and range, and that matches and flows with the track bringing the listener back for more.
-I can provide melody advice based on a pre-recorded vocal track, ensuring your vocals are at peak performance and listenability all the way through.

Vocals
- I can provide quality lead, background, or duet vocals for your track as needed.
-I am able to flex to multiple genres and styles.

Music is everything to me and I'd love to help anyone who feels the same make something that they're proud of! Prices are negotiable so feel free to send me a proposal!

Look forward to hearing from you! :)

-Gabriel

Interview with Gabriel Isaac

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I am always open to new styles and sounds. I put an emphasis on putting myself out there to experience new styles. I would say though that my lyrical style is certainly very romantic and cheesy at times, but it's almost always brought out of something real that I've felt.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I would honestly love to work with Charlie Puth. His talent level is off the charts and his musical mind is amazing. I really feel like I could learn so much!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't get too caught up on trying to perfect things as you go, whether it be a vocal line, a progression, or a lead line. Just force yourself to get something down and continue. Sometimes you can get so focused on making things just right immediately that you can disrupt your workflow and lose motivation. If you have to, take 20 minutes away from your workstation, take a breath, and come back with a fresh productive mind.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I try and keep my options open and improve on every form of music possible, but I would say Indie Pop is definitely my main skillset with alt-pop and alt-rock being right there behind it. I also do enjoy writing to hip-hop but I've never been able to apply that to my own music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Definitely the creation of words and melody. I have had to really learn how to hold back my endless dispenser of words/sounds and focus on actually fitting it onto a track and making it all sound fluid and compatible. But nevertheless that is absolutely still my strongest skill.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I feel like I bring an uncommon vernacular to most songs that I've written. Just the way I write is very wordy and almost like I'm talking to someone or myself. It is unique for sure but I think it's a good way to tell a story and add an element of personability for whoever is listening.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually start with a chord progression + a groove and write to that, but on occasion if I have written a song out of inspiration that I know is special I'll curate a progression to flow with those lyrics specifically. But 90% of the time its Progression--groove--bass-lead--vocals--other sounds--mixing/master and tadaaaaa.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My setup is very humble. On one end of my room is my desk, on top of which is two 18" monitors, 2 5" Mackie speakers, and a Focusrite 2i2 Studio interface. All connecting to the workhorse Macbook Pro in the middle. I have a very lowkey M-audio MIDI keyboard that just vibes to the right of my desk. Not much, but it gets the job done.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I draw inspiration from so many artists there's no way I'd be able to name them all, but just to name a few: Phil Collins, Troye Sivan, Frank Sinatra, Joan, Ben Rector, The Band Camino, and SO many others!
