How do you find singer/songwriter to collab ?

Hello everyone!

I’m really struggling to find vocalists/singers to collaborate with on my tracks. I don’t really want to use vocal samples because I want each track to have its own story and feel connected to something personal.

I currently have quite a lot of music waiting for vocals, but I’m finding it really difficult to meet the right people.

For those of you who collaborate with vocalists regularly, how did you find them? Any advice, communities, platforms or ways of reaching out that worked well for you?

Would love to hear your experiences. Thank you!
