This week my buddies (drummer/producer) Steve Mitchell, (singer) Jason Riley, and myself found a pretty interesting songwriting contest on OurStage.com. This site is really a great resource for musicians, and is actually reliable, which can be pretty uncommon as far as musician oriented sites go.
The contest was to win a recording contract with T Pain by recording yourself singing/rapping/doing whatever over one of his tracks that he produced. Out of the Top 20 highest ranked songs ( Go vote for ours a million times please) T Pain picks the best one.
I am pretty confident that we will win this if we can get enough votes to be in the top 20. I know there prob will be some people sitting around in their underwear voting in favor of themselves 24/7 so we will have to see.
Why am I so confident about it? Well, nobody else is recording other instruments on top of the track. Only vocals. Ours is more of a full production with guitars, a tweaked beat for more aggressiveness in the chorus, some background ambiance, and some great vocals as well.
