🎵
The Songs 0/5
Your catalog — I need to hear these!

🎧 Send Me Your Music!

I need to hear the songs to help build the set. Send me demos, voice memos, rough recordings — anything. Links to streaming, Google Drive, Dropbox, whatever works.

List ALL your original songs (even unfinished ones). For each, note: title + status (ready / needs work / idea)
Be comprehensive — I need to know everything you've got to work with
0 chars ✓ Saved
Pick your 3 strongest songs. For each: What's the story? What's it about? Why does it matter to you?
These stories become stage banter and promo gold — dig deep
0 chars ✓ Saved
What covers would fit the King Henry vibe? List songs + why they'd work.
Strategic covers fill set gaps, hook audiences, show your range
0 chars ✓ Saved
Which song is your OPENER? Your CLOSER? Your "holy shit" moment?
Sets need shape — energy up, cool down, build to a peak, leave 'em wanting more
0 chars ✓ Saved
Any special arrangements you want? Medleys, breakdowns, extended jams, unique transitions?
These moments make a show memorable — think about what would be YOUR signature
0 chars ✓ Saved
👥

✨
Open Canvas 0/3
Inspiration, vibes, and anything that speaks to you

🎯 This is the most important section.

Send me anything that speaks to you — a song, a video, an image, a quote, a random thought at 2am. Then tell me why it's relevant to King Henry.

These inputs shape how I understand your artistic vision. The more context you give me, the better I can help build something that actually feels like you.

Drop links to songs, videos, images, or artists that capture something about King Henry's vibe. Explain why each one matters.
YouTube links, Spotify tracks, Instagram posts, album covers — anything. The "why" is the gold.
0 chars ✓ Saved
What does King Henry definitely NOT want to be? What's the opposite of your vision?
Sometimes knowing what to avoid is as valuable as knowing what to pursue
0 chars ✓ Saved
Free write zone — dump anything here. Stream of consciousness welcome.
Random thoughts, 2am ideas, things you're excited about, fears, dreams, rants — whatever's on your mind about King Henry
