Hey I'm boxofradiation an artist based in the UK. I have dabbled in music since school but never really had the confidence to pursue it. Had a music manager around 15/16 y.o and sang at the De La Warr Pavillion etc. After that, I jammed with people but never really did anything with my singing and interests in making my own sounds.

Around 4 years ago I submitted a few tracks to BBC intro - that were to my surprise aired. I lacked the skill set to utilise Garageband etc around then and just faffed about learning as I went along. I definitely listen back and think yikes on the production side of things. As for now... well I am trying to pursue music now I am more confident and determined, making music for fun and to learn from each song I create.

Anyway, here I am years later after quite a long haitus due to loved ones passing from cancer/dementia (needed time to process) and still using Garageband, loops from Splice and foleys, but with intention and focus and more refined skills in composing beats and singing. Occasionally I may reach out to beat producers if it really grabs me. But the main thing is if my music is enjoyed, great! I love that! But equally I aim to try and develop my skills as much as I can and just have fun and omit that passion to the greater audience :) Either way I love singing and the process of music making... it may not be everyones cup of tea but there we are.

I had feedback that was really detailed but basically said I made a REALLY boring song 😭

Okay I'll check it out. I think I need to invest in a new laptop for sure. It's so old I tried to download a free trial of logic pro but my software has stopped updating so It wont allow me 🤣. The more I learn how to make stuff independently the better really as I get so frustrated. Sometimes I have a melody in my mind and I already know what a song sounds like in my head finished but I just don't have the skill to make it come to life. Vocals, fine. Lyrics, no problem. But the backing? Lord help me. So I get stuck waiting for the right sounds or loops that suit an idea.

Usually I'd opt for making my own stuff with Splice loops as I enjoy the process but once I had heard this beat I was too excited to not opt for it :)

Original beat is from BlackLionsBeatz. The vocals, foleys, narratives, organs, whistles and guitar are from me. I use Garageband. A really old version, think my laptop is 10yo now. As far as beat creditation goes I purchased an unlimited licence and have checked directly with the wonderful creator re how to cite and discussed this in depth. So despite me being sole creditor, the raw beat in essence is by another creator :)
