Paintbox negotiate with
Leanne D, an up and coming vocalist from England. Leanne would like to
use our songs to record a cd for promotional purposes and for sale
over the internet and at her gigs.
Leanne has gained airplay on realnetradio.com and
already attracted the interest of record companies. You can find out
more about Leanne on her website
or via Willy Mcmillan. |

We were contacted by Sharon Vaughn.
Sharon had written some lyrics and was
looking for someone to put them to music. We were so impressed with
the lyrics that we took up the challenge. Our brief from Sharon was
"As far as the sound of the music, I am thinking maybe Tori Amos
meets Jewel.. If this is too confusing, let me know - It is hard for
me to pinpoint my musical influences as I have such a broad spectrum
of favorites - But I definitely want a folky pop sound :-)".
Listen to the demos of the songs and decide for yourselves whether we
met this brief...

Neil
Kokemuller was looking for songs for a female singer - he found us
and liked what he heard! He was interested in songs to use at gigs and
for demos. Things fell through on Neil's side so it didn't quite work
out but it did give us the idea for our service for unsigned bands and
artists. |

Lance Williams
was producing a demo tape for a female singer and had written some lyrics for a song but needed a tune. He sent us the lyrics and
some idea of the style he was looking for. We slightly reworked the lyrics, composed a melody and put together a quick
demo. (Yes, its cheesy but at least it showed what we could do!)
Lance said he really liked the song and wanted to continue with the project...but since
royalties have been mentioned we have not heard from Lance...shame! |

After listening to our song Circle
of Friends we were contacted by Einar Davison of the Alberta Liberal Party in Canada.
Einar was looking for an uplifting theme song for the Annual Convention that he was
organising for the Liberal Party. Using Circle of Friends as a base we offered to rework
the lyrics so that they met his exact requirements. Unfortunately, Einar could not
convince the rest of the organising committee that professional songwriters were required.
