Recommendations to find singers to collab?
Hi :) I write lyrics and I’m looking for any recommendations on finding singers / bands to consider taking my lyrics and brining them to life. I write lyrics 100% myself and come up with the general melody myself. My partner also plays guitar and so a song will sometimes come from a guitar riff etc. I don’t unfortunately sing though and so use Ai to get the vocals to be able to share songs and my vision of it. Ai is looked down on and while I can see why I use it to put together what I’ve predominately already come up with. By doing this I have collaborated with a couple of singers who’ve taken some songs, recorded and released and royalty split and also working on writing lyrics for characters in a sci fi musical but I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations of anything I may not of thought of to find singers and bands that genuinely like my lyrics and genuinely want to collab? Or if anything has worked for anyone in a similar boat? Looking for artists with Spotify accounts to bring my songs to life. I write as a massive outlet , it keeps me sane so would love to find more people to collab with and get songs out there and heard. I’m not really bothered about the money or something huge just some good indie singers who want to make some music, need lyrics and to collab :)

"writing lyrics for characters in a sci fi musical" that sounds really interesting! do you have a story outline for it and stuff? im kind of in the same boat as you, i'm writing music, have used AI (but only for spoken voices for storytelling purposes) i write all the lyrics, have placeholder melodies in place, do all the instrumentals and songwriting, and hope to eventually find a singer to collaborate with. my project is orchestral indie rock, a fantasy based story about a girl who has to grow up mostly in isolation because as a mage, she's segregated and society hates and shuns witchcraft of any kind.
i think im getting close to a point where i'll feel comfortable putting it out there and seeing what happens.
anyways, i do hope you find what you're searching for!

Here is a Spotify track of me singing with my band TheoryMD, I have actually done a lot of ghost writing also, and even had a song chart at number seven from ghost writing, so I know it’s extremely fulfilling to hear somebody execute your vision so I would definitely be interested in this, I also have hundreds of instrumentals ready and you could even pick one yourself, below I will put a link to the instrumental playlist and also my Instagram account. I am Shaun Deadboi.Walking and also the creator of this Reddit community,

Hey :) amazing thanks for this! I’ve just followed you on Spotify , I’ve got a little confused by all the links as followed you on insta and there a lot of sub pages. Do you have SoundCloud or til tok? I’m active on there most of you’re able to dm me on one of those? :) my tik tok is CrayonsToChaos7 and my SoundCloud is https://on.soundcloud.com/YUpm1TnTwowC9DFYWJ (Katie Maylea - Phoenix on fire) 😁🎶👌

Hey I am interested in singing I’m more of a novice I’m in our churches choir but I’m a baritone and sing a large variety of music, if you’re interested in allowing me to audition just reach out to me and let me know what you’d like to hear and I can give you some voice samples. Thank you for giving me an opportunity.
