Versions of Old
Long before there was AI or Covid, I was doing music collaborations with other musicians and vocalists, all done remotely.
I wrote the lyrics, these Musicians did instrumentals from one state, vocals from another, we put them all together and compiled finished tracks.
We made music remotely. We have never met in person. Yet they were able to bring life to my lyrics.
I am now re-working a lot of these songs. They were okay for the time they were written and I am truly grateful for those who helped me out with these. But I am not at the same place in my life now, and an upgrade is needed.
Some of these won recognition in songwriting competitions, some made it to radio.
I have not received compensation for any of them.
It's time to reclaim my music and my lyrics
