Rawe Diamond

Rawe wrote his first song in September 2009 and this song 'Forgotten In your Arms' became a semi-finalist in the Blackbird Song Contest. Rawe stated, "I was really pleased with that result, especially as all the eventual finalists were acoustic type songs which had a professional demo. I had still a lot to learn at that point and still do, but it was great for the basics of my first song to gain some recognition".

As Rawe keeps writing he continues to learn about arranging, writing, producing and demoing. "I've learned so much about songwriting since last summer when I realised I could actually write and produce a home song demo. I've wriiten lyrics previously but didn't think I could write a full song, but I worked hard and persevered, learning about songwriting and song creation methods, equipment and software. Learning about and actually producing home demos has been a real learning curve and with time you get better and better at these things. I find the songwriting itself comes naturally but that is only half the process when you're working on your own."

Rawe's work and natural talent have produced songs that he feels artists would like to work with. He writes in all genres, from ballads to dance to pop to blues. He also produces dance mixes and is presently working on several additional projects which are on track to be completed soon.

On his website http://rawediamond.com please go to the 'SONGS' section of the site to listen to songs written by Rawe Diamond. The 'LYRICS' section has additional lyrics not yet put to a medolic composition. In the future Rawe would like to collaborate with other musicians/lyricists/producers with further projects - "I write lyrics which aren't always put to music as this can be the nature of songwriting for me. Sometimes I start with arrangement, sometimes melodies or lyrics but a song can dictate the content to me so I can go off in a completely different direction than was originally planned. I would like to work with others to explore all avenues of writing a song".

Rawe's ultimate ambition is to get his songs published. If any artists or publishers would like to contact Rawe, please go to the 'Contact Me' section of his website for details.

Rawe would really appreciate it if anyone who listens to songs on his site would give him feedback in the 'Guestbook' section of the site.
