About

Bio

Don’s Tunes is about the music. It’s about the sound. It’s about the real thing. I’ve been collaborating with blues & jazz artists & labels for more than 10 years, helping them reach new audiences through my YouTube Channel, my curated Spotify playlists and the amazing community on my social media pages. My passion is to discover lesser known, but extremely talented musicians and to promote songs with an audiophile sound and authentic emotion. Which songs are perfect for Don’s Tunes? (*Please read before submitting) Sound Quality The track must be properly recorded and mastered – with good dynamic range, no audible distortion and clipping Vocals and instruments should sound crisp and clear I prefer longer tracks (> 4 minutes) that have a solo section – guitar, piano, sax or other. For now I only accept songs in English For now I only accept songs with vocals - for my blues / Americana playlists, no instrumental tracks. I accept instrumentals for my jazz playlists on Spotify. Genre and mood of the song As you know the channel is focused mainly on electric blues and vocal jazz Genres like blues-rock, acoustic blues, Americana, dark country, folk and swing can also fit my taste I am big fan of organic, raw and authentic sound. I am not a fan on digitally generated sounds and effects. Most of the songs on the channel are in a relaxing mood, slow tempo (but not always). I like guitar driven sound and gritty and deep vocals. Even if I don’t find your song suitable for the channel I can still promote it on Spotify, Facebook and my other social channels I love songs with good story and captivating lyrics I rarely focus on holiday themed music. ************** Note For my YouTube channel I focus on a specific slow electric blues sound. For that reason to feature a track there it really has to fit the style and mood of the rest of the tunes. For my Spotify I am not that picky and I accept a wider variety of genres depending on the particular playlist. Please take a quick listen before submitting to be sure that your song will fit to the general feeling and atmosphere of the playlist.
