I'd like to find a musician community Lemmy, especially those interested in electronic, hip hop, and emo!

How'd you get into ghostwriting?

During the pandemic, I started a Fiverr account doing music for rock bottom prices. That’s pretty much it. Took about 4-5 days for the first gig to come in.

Once I got some good reviews under my belt, more people got interested - and I raised prices to match demand.

At some point, I started getting repeat customers who’d want to do bulk deals off-Fiverr and we started negotiating. Sometimes they’d recommend friends to come to you. There’s a lot of singers out there who have vague ideas they want to see it come to life. There’s a lot of bands out there who need songwriting support. All sorts of different projects, really. It’s pretty constant.
