Sounds great. Is this the sort of thing you’re thinking of? https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/8aSkqfE7kwNDsPAR8

Hi HolyBrook

This sounds cool, thank you for sharing. Absolutely love the acoustic sound. Are you also comfortable to diversify across other genres, Blues for example?

Sure. Willing to try most things but I doubt my gangsta rap will cut it!!

Hey everyone! How are you!

Who am I?

My name is Marianna, I’m an Italian born (London Adopted!) singer songwriter and vocal coach who plays guitars and keys!.”

What do I create?

I write music that’s a bit of a mix between Alanis Morisette, Emeli Sande with a Lenny Kravtiz twist. I also am a vocal coach and i manage an artist development program through the indie label i co-founded!

Which studio do I use?

I loved them all! BUT my favourite is Hackney! But I live in Notting hill so I use the arches a lot! And send loads of smiley faces to the Pirate team when I can’t find things! :slight_smile::slight_smile::slight_smile:

What do I listen to?

Like Dan, 90s hiphop is my weakness but I do listen to EVERYTHING! Being a vocal coach and a vocalist myself , I do listen to a lot of the great vocalists but truly my Spotify is filled with all!

Feel free to message me , I’m always up for a laugh and a collaboration!

Lots love love!

Hi Marianna! Great to have you here :slight_smile: We have our very own Italian Pirate on the CX team, Nico aka @Nico_Pirate, maybe you’ve spoken with him?

Personally, I would love to know who your top all time vocalists are, of any genre!

Helloooo!!! Thank you so much for having me! And Big up Nico!! #ItaliansUnited! He he heee!

That’s the hardest question but I’ll try!

Rachelle Ferrell - technically a monster!
Aretha Franklin - a monster period.
Celine Dion - childhood sweetheart and technically impeccable!
Whitney Houston - cause OMG!
Lalah Hathaway- who else!!!

Of more recent years:
Jasmine Sullivan
Fantasia
HER ( cause she also plays guitar like me!!)

Then I’ve got the males singers:
Stevie wonder
Marvin Gaye
John Legend
Bruce Dickinson from Iron maiden
James Labrie from Dream theatre (yes I love Heavy Metal!!!)

I hope
This answer your question! I
Maybe have chosen too many but this was hard!!!

Hello All
I’m new to Pirate.com just booked 1st session in Nottingham studios on Saturday, anyone else from this city ? Like to practice and get my playing skills to playa few gigs again .I would like to perform live music, its good to interact with people again.

Want to learn some basic production skills editing, mixing sounds as well, looks like this is the place to learn. Any live Ableton users here ? live electronics its something more to explore.

Hi Mr Sen, welcome aboard! Agree, it’s good to get as much practice as possible. Definitely a few Notts Pirates here, hopefully they will introduce themselves shortly. @Laurence_Pirate @Pear_Pirate are you into Ableton live?

Hi Mike, I only started 9 weeks ago with no experience I am getting there but it’s fun. Here a wee video I made tonight https://youtu.be/hgMjg4fgopA

Hi everyone,

I’m Phil, a 40 something from Leeds. Just made my first booking and really looking forward to my visit.

Perhaps a strange one for me, my younger days are behind me, but used to play the drums in my teens, and always wanted to play again. I just couldn’t justify the cost and, well, I doubt my Mrs would appreciate the noise levels and taking up a whole spare room with a drum kit!

So, after 25+ years of dreaming I’ve found the studio! a safe and soundproofed arena to let loose and rock out with my headphones on (or maybe a place to plug my iPhone in and play along to some of my fave tracks!)

I’ve bought a pair of sticks and can’t wait!

Who am I?

I’m Sam and I am an artist and DJ from Dublin in Ireland :slight_smile:

What do I create?

I create Hip Hip and Trap which is my main type of music. I did start out making some House tunes when I was younger and it evolved into the production of Hip Hop, although I have been doing some DJing in some clubs around Dublin as well. I write raps and also like to sing melodies as well

Which studio do I use?

I use Pirate Studios in Dublin! This is pretty handy for me as it is just down the road pretty much. I have been coming here for a while now since it opened up last year and I absolutely love it, always good to come up and have a vibe within the studios.

What do I listen to?

My main influence would be J. Cole and I also listen to Logic, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, Drake, Kanye West, Juice WRLD and Don Toliver to name a few!

I create Grime, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Dancehall, Funky house and try most styles of music that I like. And some “what do you call it??”!

Everything really, at the moment I’m listening to a lot of live instrument musicians - like Yussef Dayes, Mansur brown and Tom Misch. I always have a grime and hip hop playlist and also the foundation for me which is reggae.
