ABOUT

Hi!

I've been performing as a solo artist since 17 and am now looking to expand. A year ago a producer in Brighton added drums and guitar around my piano and vocal which I thought worked really well (demos above). I now want to re-create this sound live. I'm looking for that kind of style but willing to experiment around it. I've got an open mind.

I'd love to find a guitarist with similar influences who I could work closely with, write together and see how our style develops. I have a set of songs ready to start working on, with the mind set that I'd be equally interested to hear songs/ideas you had and potentially create a crossover of the two. We could then add drums, I like the sound of an electronic drum pad but could mix it up with live drums too. Could potentially add in Cello at a later stage.

I'm looking for musicians who are at a professional level, who are really passionate about this style of music and who are up for having a great adventure. Once we've got our sound sussed and set together, I'd be looking to gig in London (I have good contacts) and then record an E.P and tour in America/Europe. Approach Management/Labels.

If you like my sound you can email me here: bellamckendree or at /bellamckendree

Thanks,
Bella
