Buzzwazz
Based just off Baker Street, Buzzwazz is a music production company and record label. Founder and songwriter Peter Morris is looking for a female lead singer, with a modern style like that of Anne Marie or Mabel. He makes pop songs with an urban flavour, and the backing tracks are recorded and ready for a vocal. The agreement is a one-off 50% split of mechanical royalties. If you’d like to learn more and hear some tracks with a mind to recording some songs – send an MP3 of your singing voice to peter@buzzwazz.co.uk.
