Hello everyone, I was introduced to this forum by the lovely and talented Natalie Brown! I had gotten in contact with her regarding any songwriters she might know of that would like to work on an independent project with me. I am putting together my debut CD, and although I have songs, I am looking for more of a Dance/R&B/Pop sound. On my youtube channel, I currently have 2 songs available (just to get an idea of my style) Shannon Brooks Music . If there are any songwriters/musicians interested, please do get in contact with me!

Good Mornin', Shannon:

Welcome to JPF. I listened to your first song and was impressed with the clarity of your vocal style. I'm hoping you will go far in a really tough business. You should be able to find lots of material here. Please feel free to "rummage around" and see if anything I have posted at the link below might work for your album. If not, I have a fairly large catalog of available material in several genres.

Regardless, best of luck to you. I hope you will visit us often here at JPF but with the long climb ahead of you, I doubt if you are going to have much time available... and that's a good thing.

HI Shannon!

My Congrats to You & Your Producer...Very NICE Job on those Recordings!

HEARABLE Ones: (At the JPF MP3 Feedback Forum) June 18th, "Let's Take The Time" (sung by Robert Pickens, Melody Kaufman & Soucey..with the line "Done-it-All" altered to "See-It-All"..to be Gal-Sung. (Robert's got a Good'n' too.."You Brighten My Day" on May 4, 2010, as-well.) I also co-wrote on Michele Bolton's "I'm Over It/I'm Over You"--for the Aussi Market...probably have some Comedic Ones in my Catalogue if you're after Funnier-Fare/can always custom pen ya one..let me know. Michele's is on first or 2nd page of the MP3 Forum.

Best Wishes, Big Hugs,
Stan

Too bad you are not looking for country or Gospel, I have lots of those but nothing in what you are looking for. Sorry.


The more you taste the bitterness of defeat, the sweeter final victory will be

May the flowers of love forever bloom in your garden of life

Hi Shannon! Nice professional-looking page and great music. You have an awesome voice.
I do mostly lyrics and am just starting to get into taking a crack at dance/pop. I do work on melodies some, and I am very new to guitar but can probably help enough to get chords finished for a better musician. I'll be posting more along those lines in the next few days; most of my current lyrics are country.
By the way if you haven't done so yet take a peek at the mp3 feedback forum on this site. Lots of talented people have demos posted already, and you might find something you like.
Oh Alek I checked your link out too. Love your work!

Thank you, anyway! I do like Gospel music, and eventually I'm sure that's where I will end up staying. I grew up singing in Church, and some of the best singers I've heard are Gospel singers! They have that special anointing. smile
