I’m a singer songwriter who produces my own music. Even though I’ve only been releasing tracks for a little over a year, I’ve been creating music for much longer. Over the past year, I’ve grown to about 25 to 30k monthly listeners on Spotify and other platforms and already have one collaboration with an EDM artist under my belt.

Today I was contacted by a very popular EDM artist who wants me to be a featured vocalist on a song. They have over 500k monthly listeners on Spotify and millions and millions of plays on their songs. My only collab so far was with a friend, so I have no idea what to charge as a vocalist.

I don’t want to undervalue myself, but I also don’t want to price myself out of this opportunity. Does anyone have tips, tricks, or resources on how to figure out fair rates for vocals?

Perhaps talk to a lawyer? Or an agent? I don’t think this should be something you should go into alone

Hi everyone, I’m a jazz musician and I’ve recently discovered the work of Pacôme Pertant. I really admire the sound and textures he creates, but this style is very new to me.

Could you help me understand what kind of genres or subgenres this would fall into? I’d also love to know what production techniques or tools are commonly used to achieve a sound like this.

Since I come from a jazz background, diving into this type of production feels exciting but also overwhelming. Any pointers, resources, or insights would be super appreciated
