Las Vegas Based Music Songwriting
Collaboration & Creation
Service
Let
us help you produce your musical dream!
Do you write lyrics, or write
music, or sing, or play an instrument,
and want to record your cover or original music
sounding like a full live band?
Do you need custom original music for your film or
video, or advertising music/jingle for your commercial?
Genres that we work
with include indie,
singer-songwriter, folk, pop,
pop
rock, rock, vocal, and instrumental music. Our music has been
compared
to R.E.M, Beach Boys, Wilco, Queen, David Bowie, '60s AM and '70s FM,
Counting Crows, The Minus 5, Barenaked Ladies, and They Might Be
Giants. We work with people in Las Vegas in person, or around
the world
through the web.

Alex
is our very talented "musical brain" --
composing, arranging,
singing, and playing multiple instruments in multiple
genres. Alex can write music to your words or put words to
your
music; or he can collaborate with you on writing and arranging your
songs; or he can write and perform complete songs for you.
Alex also gives
music and vocal lessons and coaching too.
We
can help you write, perform, and record your own original or cover
music, or we can write, perform,
and
record brand new music for you for any use that you might require:
quick singer-songwriter demos to finished mastered music albums with
artwork; TV or radio
advertising jingle music; and film,
movie, or TV song placement, and song or full
soundtrack composition.
We
can work with you in person or by easily sending
files back and forth over the web anywhere in the world. We
don't
use MIDI programing, loops, beats, or "canned" music. We play
and record all our instruments live by hand (although we
do use a metronome). And
we don't use Auto-Tune either, we work to
get the best natural vocal performance. Alex and
Roy are also the music and tech behind the popular Poppermost pop rock
music band based in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Our instruments include:
Fender
Stratocaster electric and Brownsville acoustic/electric guitars, Zoom
multi-effects pedal, with Guitar Research 60w head and 4x8” bottom
guitar
amp; Martin
Sigma acoustic guitar with
built-in bridge pickup; banjo;
