“Topliner” is not a term that everyone in the music industry is familiar with but if you’re a DJ or a music producer you probably know it.

“Topline” refers to the lyrics, melody and vocals written on “top” of an already produced musical track. Often times, DJs and music producers look for topliners for their tracks since this is not the area of their expertise.

A nice example from our community of a collaboration between a topliner and a DJ/music producer is the track "Be The Change" by @darrenclaxton and @d-vine. Darren is actually a singer/songwriter and, as you will hear in the video below, this was the first time he stepped out of his comfort zone and wrote a topline in a style that he doesn't usually sing in. Please show some whale :heart: and support to both of them by checking out their profiles and sharing one of their posts.

Since we have many talented DJs, music producers, songwriters, lyricists and vocalists in this space, I have created a channel in the MOS tribe server on discord so you guys can find each other there more easily. Other than @d-vine and @djslethalskillz, I don't know many DJs in our community off the top of my head, but maybe you guys do and you could share this post with them.

And I think this could be an interesting opportunity also for the poets and writers in this space. Maybe some of you will fancy stepping out of your comfort zone and either writing lyrics for a track or having your poem recited with music in the background... Just a suggestion :) Whatever floats your boat, you’re welcome to join the MOS Tribe and invite others, too!

Thanks for reading!

Cheers

Petra

Hey Petra!
Thank you for your kind words on
'Be The Change'
Myself and @d-vine are so proud of this creation as well as our 2 previous tracks.
@davidfar is my Broken Ocean songwriting partner and is also a fantastic producer too!
Thanks again for your support!

I'm all about this, but for someone to have patients with me to come up with a piece will benefit in love and respect and beyond, my good friend @dreemsteem has helped me step out of my zone and we have literally started working on her book fireflies which I love and now to put music to it and bringing out her lovely voice, too give her something special and her fans and friends something to listen to is beyond a journey of that I'm proud to say I'm on with her. This is community and friends coming together to create new and exciting ideas all on the blockchain. BE WELL
