My name is Steve Violetti, aka “VO” and I’m one of thousands of you who love to play and write original songs.
All of us songwriting hopefuls have dreamed the same dream and have a story to tell similar to the one I’m writing here for Vision 4 Music. I was asked to document it anyway as a favor, so don’t hesitate to send V4M your experience as a musician or songwriter trying to get your song heard and hopefully published.
Chris (15 when this excerpt was recorded) is a very talented guitarist/singer/song writer. He can be heard here with a "live recording" of his GCSE Popular Brit Song style "You Don't Care After All". Chris is generally inspired by Brit rock groups as well as bands like the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
The lyrics are about the cruel loss of a girl's life who was left lying by the railway tracks. Chris plays bass, drums, acoustic and electric guitars as well as vocals. We added the crowd after the recording to capture the atmosphere it created when our school rock group performed it live at the end of year school concert. Chris now has tens of thousands of hits on his Youtube music video site "Mr Chris Monos"
