Guest Artists - Singers & Songwriters

ABIGAIL STRICKLAND : Vocalist

Abigail Strickland is from South Africa, and has recently joined the artists on one of the most popular online musician sites, offering her vocal skills to songwriters and recording artists.   Everyone she has done vocal work for has left rave reviews.  Abigail is English speaking, and can perform and record lead and background vocals, harmonies, and voice-over work. 

She adds: "Living in South Africa is really nice! It's very beautiful and peaceful here where I live. I grew up in the middle of nowhere, on a tiny farm with lots of cows and chickens!  I have a large family - my parents had 7 children - so we grew up singing together.  We did a lot of choir music, as my dad is a singer and a classical guitarist, so I've always loved and enjoyed singing!" 

Meeting Abigail online has been one of the most fortunate events that has happened within my recent songwriting and recording development.  She has already completed a steady stream of great lead and harmony vocal work that has helped to bring more sparkle and energy to many of my songs.  I am very excited to continue working with Abigail, and hope that we have many more album projects together.

 

MIKAEL SCHULIN :  Songwriter

Mikael lives in Sweden, and we met online at the Cakewalk forum where we share our common interests of songwriting and recording songs using the Sonar software.  We admired each others work and one day Mikael asked me to write lyrics for an instrumental song he composed called "Silence", and to sing the vocals.  It was great fun. 

"Silence" was our first collaboration and it was well reviewed by our peers on the forum.  We have since collaborated on numerous other works, to include "If I Had It All", "Able To Love Again", and "Leaving You With This Song". One of Mikael's instrumental works also became a "Variation on A Pocketful Of Songs".  Mikael has many other interests, including wildlife photography and is actively involved with environmental issues.  Oh, and before retiring he was a medical professional specializing in treating vertigo patients!   I'm so glad he made some time for composing some of the most beautiful instrumental songs!
