Producer contest FINALS Mike "Klassic" Kalombo my entry

[heliumguy1]

hey chris, just amazing what you're doing with minimal equipment. but a good songwriter doesn't need much gear to make it sound right. it comes from your heart. good luck! ramon

[thekidx69]

Much respect, i like your music! you have a nice voice as well, keep up the hard work :)

[123itzdrew]

What mic do you have??

[AndShane]

Wow you should really win, this was amazing. Considering you made this all on your own at your place without any studioequipment is really blowing my mind. Great song btw. <3

oh and btw what is that on your screen? is that an itunes addon or something like that?

[taysimms]

One word to say. "TALENT"

[PWNBYGEMINI]

Will this song be available on Itunes???? Me wants to buy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chriscommissomusic]

@PWNBYGEMINI Once I finish the final track I will post on Itunes, yes. Thanks for asking & glad you liked!!!!!!! :)

[mptmusic1]

I want that midi controller! Jealous >.<

[chriscommissomusic]

@mptmusic1 ha...well thanks Mike. It does do the job.  What kind of keyboard are you jammin on these days?

[mptmusic1]

Still the Roland RS-70. But I'm using it more for midi with Native instruments. Allows me to program different sounds, as well as buy new ones whenever i feel like it without having to spend a lot of money for a new keyboard. Would love to have a midi controller with those pads though. Those are really useful for drums.

I vote you for winner of this, you have skills and I love the song. I can relate to it allot and thats what a great song is.

"a good song is getting showing your emotions though the power of music, a great song is relating to your listeners emotions"

Is your music available somewhere? I want to look into it.

~Cameron

[chriscommissomusic]

@LIFEofCAM I love your comment!  Thanks for the encouragement!!! Especially the part about being able to relate to it. As a songwriter, that's the best thing I can hear. :)

[iamjappyjesus]

The only thing I would change is the clap...it sounds stock to me but besides that EVERYTHING was fantastic. The lyrics for the chorus is awesome.

It's cool to hear you explain your process as well. You definitely know what you're doing and what you're talking about.

GREAT entry.

[chriscommissomusic]

@iamjappyjesus Cool, thanks for your comment & the supportive words!!! :)

Oh man it's jaw dropping what you can do Chris. I'm in awe of your musical talents,all your abilities,that great ear you have too. You're a fantastic arranger producer musician writer & singer. It's cool to show us from the start how you put together a song. It's a lot of hard work when you do it by yourself. I'm amazed at how great you play keyboards guitar drums & the song is just beautiful! the melody & cool lyrics,a unique love song. You should be a huge star. Hope you win the contest! :)))

I'm sure I do not speak only for myself as I celebrate you making the Top 10 in Klassic's Producer Contest! I am anticipating one day flipping through the channels and stop to see you on the sofa during your interview with Oprah! Thank you for the music you share with us :o) 1chriscommissofan & 2teachhappy (1 person)

@2teachhappy Sounds GREAT to me! :) Thanks for the amazing comment!!!!! :)

[Kellz311]

I want to let you know that it's because of you that I changed up my whole plan of action to take with the 1st half of this contest. After hearing "Beautiful Echo" I was like Uh-Oh what am I going to do? Chris you are a very talented person and I want to wish you luck...!!! This entry reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight" which was a hit..!!! Stay humble, stay you, stay true and what ever you want you will have...!!!

[chriscommissomusic]

@Kellz311 Wow, I'm honored to hear that! Well thanks so much for the supportive words...especially coming from a fellow producer! Means a LOT. And yeah, smashing pumpkins...never really made the connection, but I can hear it. Thanks again! :)

[kroser1983]

[StevieMcFLii]

Dope bro! I like how you rock your videos.Very official. The things you mention are things only audio engineers would catch. Which says alot.I hope more people look into the art of things because of you.Because even when I submitted my video for this contest I felt strange wearing the label of a producer when I knew there was so much more to being a producer than making beats.Good luck to you. All of the best.

[chriscommissomusic]

@StevieMcFLii Wow man, thanks for the encouraging comment especially coming from a fellow musician! I really appreciate the supportive words!!!

[chriscommissomusic]

@JandyAndrey Thanks again!!!!! I'm hoping to put out an album soon! :)

[watchoutguy123]

BEST 1 SO FAR ...GOOD LUCK =)

[chriscommissomusic]

@watchoutguy123 Great to hear, thanks!!!!!! :)

[biggareid]

Oh my God! thats all I can say about your song.

I remain speechless because your whole thought process and expertise is like a person who has been producing for decades. Like how do you know what to do and how you do it? How you develop the working formula for your songs?

I do believe that your gift is unique and God given.

PS: I realize all your vocal styles and arrangements sounds soo much like bruno mars. Can you do any other style?

[chriscommissomusic]

@biggareid Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate your kind comment. :) Don't know if there's a formula for what I do. I just really study songs to find out what makes them work...then I try to apply that to my own songs.

[StarlingProductions7]

@GothicSoltrain

I may not be spot on, but it appears to be an either an Audio-Technica AT2020 or an Audio-Technica AT2035 Cardioid Condenser Microphone.
