Finding the right collaborators is tough

I’ve been working on some new lyrics and I’m at that stage where I feel the need for fresh input. Collaborating with the right musicians can take a song from good to great, but it’s so hard to find people who vibe well. Do you guys have any tips on how to connect with others creatively or even where to start the search?

Finding the right collaborators is like dating — you might need a few awkward first dates before you find the perfect match. Have you tried local music meetups or online platforms like Bandmix? It can help to start connecting with people who share your vibe.

Have you tried using social media groups or platforms like BandLab — i found my last collaborator on a local Facebook music group, and it really worked out well. Just remember, it might take a few tries to find someone who clicks with your vibe.
