Christelle

Greetings,

My name is Christelle, I am a songwriter based in London, United Kingdom.

I started started songwriting in 2020, during the first covid lockdown, and I am proud to have written a varied collection of pop songs infused with hip hop, jazz, and soul since then.

My ambition is to have my music recorded by emerging or established artists and here's a little bit about my music background:

Inspiration:
Where to begin... having spent my younger years in France in the 90's, I was immersed in hip hop and R&B. At home my dad made sure my sisters and I were inspired by Caribbean music + in his own words by Mr Otis Redding. These days I make sure to listen to a wide range of sounds, and to be present in the world where inspiration awaits.
Music theory:
I have a solid grasp of music theory, which enables me to communicate effectively with musicians.
Instruments:
My instrument of choice for composing is the piano. I also play the ukulele, badly, for fun and on holiday.
Lyrics:
Most of the lyrics I write are about: life, love and loss, primarily from a female perspective, with one notable exception.
Vocals:
I can demo decent vocals myself, except for rap sections. My songs would suit a voice that is powerful, and raspy on the edges.
Production:
I am able to confidently produce songs at home with Logic Pro X, to give artists an idea of what the songs may sound like. However, mixing isn't my forte, but if needed, I can delegate this task to a producer.
Documentation:
I am in the process of documenting all my songs with: a music chart, a lyric sheet, a rough recording, and a Logic Pro X file, so that they are ready to go!
Social media:
With a full time job in a global advertising agency, I have limited time and keep posting to social media to a minimum, but I have made a start on Instagram (work in progress): https://www.instagram.com/christellesongwriterlondon/
Repertoire:
All the material I have created has never been released, and is available as first pick, for an artist to develop. Below are some rough recordings. As an add-on, I am in the process of developing my network of London-based musicians for any potential collaborations required on my songs.
