Congrats on the son, there is nothing like it.
I have a couple of friends heading down the hard road following their hearts.
Just listening to what you have accomplished, you have accomplished more than 99.99% could. I walked away from music for 10 years, and just play with a church band now. I wasn't really that good to begin with so it was no big loss, but once it's in your blood you are not going to get rid of it.
Would you care if I gave a couple ideas? (I'm not an expert, these are just thoughts that came to me while I listened) It's obvious you are pouring everything you have into the songs and they are great and your voice and control is awesome. You are talented on they mixing side as well, and maybe too talented. When I was listening there were a lot of times when all the layers over powered your vocals and I would lose the lyrics.
I know the techno/electronic scene is a bit different. If you look at songwriters like Ed Sheeran, not just the stuff he sings but his songs others sing, they really lead with the vocals.
You could test it in the Steemit Open Mic Contest grab a guitar and make a video of Need Love, keep it simple.
The next time you decide to write, take the emotions you wrote into this post and put it in a song. The toughest crap you go through makes the best songs.
Again, this is just my 2 cents. You are an awesome writer and musician don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.
Thanks man! Definitely when I have more time I will do the Steemit Open Mic Acoustic. I know my productions tend to get carrier away, I really need to be more minimalistic in my production style. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and the care to write such a thoughtful response! Keep making music too, good for the soul!
