10 Best Websites To Find Musicians To Collaborate With

One of the best things about music is working with other people, being a musician can be a very lonely place, especially when years like 2020 come around and ruin playing live shows for all of us, but regardless of that, the struggle to get tracks finished remains the same, and if now for at least the time being we have to do it virtually then let me show you the 10 best websites to find musicians to collaborate with.

So if you’re a music producer, beatmaker or an artist, these websites will defiantly help you.

6. Facebook Groups

Facebook Groups are an excellent way to find new musicians, you can find plenty of them out there that are just for your specific town, or you can find musicians nationwide and globally.

Here are my recommendations for groups that you should join:

• Find musicians near me

• Independent Musicians Network

7. ProCollabs

ProCollabs is not only a community for singers and songwriters but you’ll have producers, mixing engineers, saxophonists, violinists, and pretty much anything and anyone you can imagine.

You can also have two projects running concurrently, not only that but you’ll also have access to a whole sweet of features that make it easier for you to collaborate with community members.

8. Join My Band

Join My Band is an excellent option to find musicians, especially if you’re in the UK, but you can post ads no matter where you are to arrange virtual collaboration.

This website is quite different from every other in this list so far, Join My Band allows you to post classified ad detailing your project and your requirements and those who want to participate can respond for free.

9. BeatStars

All though BeatStars is a marketplace that is primarily meant for music producers to sell their beats, the platform can also be an excellent place to source rappers and singers, you can either “rappers” or “singers” in their search box or click musicians in the categories section of the sidebar.

10. SoundCloud

Lastly, it’s the platform that everyone seems to have forgotten about in recent years, SoundCloud doesn’t need much explanation as I’m fairly confident you will have already heard of, all though it’s popularity may have gone down it is still a very prominent platform for musicians and like-minded individuals to collaborate and share ideas.
