Last year, I saw a clip of Pete Davidson on the Tonight Show where he mentioned he started taking singing lessons. He said it was because he thought it’d be cool to know how to sing really well and just casually shock his friends one day by singing a song amazingly out of nowhere. Ever since then I've had that idea in the back of my mind. Like wouldn't it be funny if you absolutely nailed a song while driving around with someone or at a karaoke night with friends.

So I decided to make that my new years resolution this year. Obviously I don't have thousands to spend on a vocal coach like Pete Davidson so I started out watching YouTube tutorials. Then I found this course put together by Melanie Alexander (melaniealexander.com here's the link to save you from searching for it). If you don't know who that is I don't blame you because I didn't either. She was in a girl band in the 90s and had a couple albums that went platinum. It seemed like she had the credentials so I went ahead and bought it, it was only $67 so I wasn't expecting the world.

The lessons have been helpful so far but the main reason I bought her course was because of the apps that came with it. One of the apps included interactive lessons and allowed you to practice tracks. The other was the most helpful though. It lets you test your vocal range and practice notes which is helping me work out where I'm going wrong.

I feel like I'm slowly improving and I'm contemplating starting a channel to post either progress videos or cover songs. I'm not quite confident enough to do that yet though lol but stay tuned because this post is a part 1. I'll post an update in a month or so when I feel like I'm good enough to actually put something out there to be judged.

Hey, I know this is typically known as a genre of the past, but I'm doing a project and need some more recent stuff. IE within the last year or so. I appreciate any suggestions, even loose ones. Thank you all.

I'm trying to find this song Boom by Cerrone/Kongas. Does anyone know it or what Cerrones Wikipedia is referring to as i can't find it on Discogs or YouTube. Maybe it's a different title for a song, but I'm not sure. I'll looked up Boom Barclay Records but could only find a Pamplemoose song.

Can anyone help me figure this out?

I'm loving disco at the moment, can I get some recommendations. I love the really bassy stuff with lots of strings and funky beat. Big sounds multiple layers.

I can't believe I have only just discovered how amazing Disco is.

I'm interested in old and new but don't know where to start. I have been listening to disco snails by wolfmon on repeat.
