Versatile Vocalist, Arranger and Vocal Producer, Nagem! I work with musical artists to create one of kind projects via songwriting, vocal production and arrangements, background vocals and the like. I can adjust my style and tone to fit your arrangement. I can exude the prowess of Aretha Franklin or Ann Wilson of Hart with the soft sultry sounds of Diana Ross, Ariana Grande and India Arie.
Send me a message and we’ll discuss your project and see if I’m a fit for you!
I’ll send you an mp3 rough mix for your approval, do one round of revisions for free if needed, then once you approve and release funds, I will send all stems as wav files dry/raw, completely tuned and edited. Turn around times vary based on scheduling at this time. Reach out to discuss!
**1 free revision is included. Revisions are a handful of small changes, not a rerecording.**
**Turn around times vary from 4 days to 2 weeks based on availability. Expedite for $100 when available!**
