Leo musicians are outgoing and confident. Known as "the lion," you'll see a lot of powerful people in this birthday post. Happy birthday to all Leos! We're going to pick out musicians with the same birthday and imagine a collaboration with the two. Sometimes we get lucky and someone has already made a mashup. I'm excited to see who we've got! If you want more about Leos, I have every[...]
Mark Baughman hired me to sing on two tracks for his album, No Prophet Here. The reviews are in and they're very positive! Here is the album if you'd like to hear while you read. I was the lead singer on "Somebody's Daughter" and "What I Became (Please Take Me Home)," but please check out the whole album! Mark is a fantastic songwriter and this album serves as a great portfolio for hi[...]

Cancer musicians are a common topic around here (along with every other zodiac sign). I've listed every Cancer here, and talked about being a Cancer musician here. Today I'm going to just list Cancer musicians who have the same birthday, and imagine a collab between the two. Some would be great, some would probably be horrible, but it's fun to imagine them. Sometimes, someone has already[...]

Gemini musicians are a common theme on this blog. I listed every Gemini musician ever here, and I talked about how Geminis can use their signs to help their music careers here. Are zodiac signs real? I have no idea and I don't really care. I just like reading about it and I thought it would be interesting to see who has the same birthdays and what a collab would sound like! *This post[...]
Glimmertown Radio is doing a series on "Music & Astrology" with artists separated into their respective signs. They let me know they used my zodiac posts as inspiration and I wanted to share their work with you. For those of you who don't know/care about astrology: Signs are divided into elements (earth, water, air and fire). As a Virgo, I am an "Earth" sign. If you don't know abou[...]
The chorus, also called "hook" or "refrain," is, in my opinion, the easiest part of the song to write. Think about it: you only have to write it once, and then a third of the song is done. The verses are where you tell the story and explain yourself. The chorus is where you hammer the main point home. Your chorus can also be absolute nonsense. Everything from "baby" a thousand times[...]
Hanson has been around since I was a young child. "MMMBop" was everywhere, whether you loved it or hated it. I'm not ashamed to say (now) that I loved it. Surely you remember these adorable kids: via GIPHY What you may not realize, however, is that Hanson is still a band with an active fanbase. The band is comprised of three brothers: Isaac, Taylor and Zac, and they each have around[...]
