*I can also provide song writing from scratch including full production, mixing and mastering.
HOW IT WORKS:

- Once the project is funded I will start working on your track and create custom vocal lines and/or lyrics
- I will update you frequently with the progress of the track (your project is always my priority!). After you approve the main vocal lines I will continue with writing harmonies and back vocals

Endorse Mateyah
check_circleVerified5 stars! Track slayed and exactly what I needed!
I was working with Mateyah on a project. I needed good PRO vocals for my chorus and hook to elevate my chorus. She delivered quality vocals with harmonies.
I would really recomend Mateyah. She has a unique voice.
I've been working with Mateyah as a Topliner, Ghost writer, Lyrics writer and Singer for a few years. Her voice is unique and outstanding. Her singing is dynamic, you can hear her soul in her voice. Her lyrical ideas are story telling and catchy at the same time. Every project she is working on she takes it seriously and personally. The song itself means everything to her so she will do anything to write and arrange the vocals that match the song and its vibe. She's very professional.
Highly recommended!
Interview with Mateyah
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Taking best from both worlds. Analog brings the warmth and it's own vibe and character while digital is recallable and easy to manipulate and store.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: A song called 'No time to die' I worked on for the metal band called Inmate. It just hits different when I listen to it. And have been listening to it on repeat for the last few months. I was a guest singer and topliner on that song.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: A special project that cannot be revealed just yet
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes I do. SoundEvolver Studio as it's a professional studio I often collaborate with. They always deliver 100%. And singer Marko Duplisak as I've collaborated with him in the past and he's really a Pro with strong and versatile vocals.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will make your song stand out and make your audience feel the song.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The pure creation process and expressing emotions through my singing.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: What's the exact price and when will the project be finished. And my answer is always the same - It depends on the project as recording 15 tracks takes much more time then recording 5.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: People think that you can techically describe or learn how to create/write songs :) It's just what comes from a deep side of you, through you and you are somehow able to channel and express it through your music...
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What is the vibe they're looking for, what emotions they want their music to express and what story they want to tell with the song.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be certain of the sound and vibe you're looking for, give clear istructions and trust the provider with their own ideas.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My mic, cable and laptop and a piece of paper and a pen to write some lyrics.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started singing at a very early age (my family says I had been singing before I was able to talk). I sang in choirs and later on in different bands, I started taking professional singing lessons in my teenage years. I started writing my first lyrics in elementary school and started playing the piano to be able to give them a melody. Later on I started collaborating with a studio with lyric writing, singing and toplining.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Emotional, dynamic and powerful
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Different new bands and artists, as I like fresh views, sounds and ideas.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't overthink it, try to rather feel and express it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop, Rock, Pop-Rock, Melodic Metal and Epic Cinematic.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Emotional impact with powerful and dynamic vocals is what I'm best at.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Great catchy vocal lines, and lyrics that depend on the vibe I get from the instrumental base.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I first try to get an idea of the vibe, sound and singing style my clients are looking for or would fit them best. Then I usually start with toplining and send them a short demo of vocals. When it's good to go I start with lyrics and finally record the song in a professional studio with high-end gear.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Rode NT-1 or Shure SM7B mic to Neve preamp into UAD Apollo Twin audio interface. I'm working with Cubase Pro DAW with tons of industry standard plugins. Acoustically treated studio is the highlight. The most important thing about recording great vocals is having clean takes; I'm always using in-ear system so there is no click sounds or other noises in the recordings.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I honestly prefer bands to solo artists, because they usually create their own music and bring more of their soul and emotions to end projects. Other than that I love original and impro artists/producers with their own style.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I write lyrics, do the toplining and sing (one or all). I also record everything professionaly in a pro studio.
