MUSICAL TALENT NEEDED: BE A PART OF AN EXPERIMENTAL ALBUM PROJECT

Project Overview

Join the Musical Journey with J.J. Reigns aka Minnexas on "No Boundaries Beyond Creation"

Hello, everyone! My name is J.J. Reigns, also known as Minnexas. I’m thrilled to announce that I am embarking on a new and exciting music album project titled "No Boundaries Beyond Creation." This album is an experimental venture where I've initially used VOCALOID star Hatsune Miku to animate my songs with a catchy, anime-theme song vibe, so far. Now, I aim to elevate this project by incorporating real musicians to infuse our tracks with genuine, vibrant life, seamlessly blending synthetic and authentic sounds.

Drawing inspiration from versatile musicians like Miracle of Sound, Sharm, AmaLee, Saint Asonia, Linkin Park, Aurora, and Blue October, this project is about showcasing our collective talents to create something truly special and pride-worthy. Music has always been a profound passion of mine, one of the many creative avenues I explore enthusiastically.

What I’m Looking For:

  • Band Members and/or Freelancers: Whether you want to be part of something ongoing or just contribute to a single project, I’m looking for collaborators who are open to creating genre-defying music. Influences for this project range from the eclectic styles of Miracle of Sound to the indie rock vibes of Blue October, who seamlessly integrate instruments like the violin into various genres.

Project Details:

  • As a primary songwriter and director of this album, I'll be steering our creative direction, but I’m also eager to learn from you and incorporate your ideas and skills.

  • We’ll upload complete songs to YouTube and compile them into a full album for YouTube and Spotify. Discussions about expanding our distribution to platforms like iTunes Music will follow once the team is assembled.

  • Compensation varies: This is a personal passion project with potential pay ranging from $25-$50 per song or negotiable rates for full album participation (NOTE: This is only for the freelance hires, not recruited band members). For those looking to join the band long-term, any significant profits made will be evenly split amongst us.

  • Please specify your interest when applying—whether you’re looking for a long-term collaboration or a one-off project.

Expectations and Timeframe:

  • There are no strict deadlines, but the goal is to maintain momentum and not stretch the project over years. We will release songs progressively as they are completed.

  • I encourage you to check out the playlist of my current works to see what I've done so far and past collaborations (this is linked right away at the top. I highly recommend listening to Had It All ft. Hatsune Miku & Fukase, and For Her ft. Hatsune Miku). Some tracks include collaborations with real artists as well, offering an example beyond VOCALOID.

Musical Direction:

  • The essence of this project is experimental, touching on everything from acoustic, rock, rap, folk, metal, rock-rap, nu-metal, country, pop, and even going into, traditional Viking chants, fantasy rock, shanty's, and more! Currently, I have several songs ready for production and am open to your contributions, whether in writing new tracks or enhancing existing ones.

  • Depending on the team composition, songs will be published under my social media name, Minnexas, or we can decide on a new band name through collaborative discussions on Discord.

  • There will also be external members joining the band to provide other musical elements to different tracks.

  • I will also be spearheading all social media pages and advertisements to get our name and music out there (This will be out of my own pocket for advertisements to help give us a push. Please do not feel obligated or forced to pitch in).

I am excited to see what you bring to the table and to select dedicated collaborators for this passionate musical venture. Let’s make music that resonates and inspires!

Specifications:

I am searching for a talented lead vocalist, open to any gender, who can deliver a range of vocal styles from clean melodic lines to more intense, potentially gritty or growling vocals. While growling or screaming abilities are not mandatory, they are a welcome addition, and opportunities may arise to collaborate with other backing vocalists or a specialized growl-singer for specific tracks.


Writing lyrics is primarily my role, but if you are inspired to contribute to songwriting, or would even like to offer your songs to be made onto the album (or future albums), it is welcomed and you would be compensated for your work as well as full crediting (this can be discussed/negotiated). I also heavily welcome melody creation, as this is where I personally lack in, but not required.


Ideal Vocal Qualities:

  • For female vocalists, I'm looking for capabilities similar to the ranges and styles of Sharm, Aurora, or AmaLee (LeeandLie).
  • For male vocalists, I'm interested in those who can match the vocal depth and intensity of Justin Furstenfeld (Blue October), Gavin Dunne (Miracle of Sound), or Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace/Saint Asonia).

This role requires flexibility and creativity, especially as we may switch genres from song to song, offering a wide range for your vocal artistry. If you are passionate about experimenting with your voice and making impactful musical contributions, please provide links or files showcasing your work for reference, I would love to hear from you.
