The Basics
I'm a musician....in a band. Simple as that.

Advice for Musicians
I often have people of all ages asking me questions about how to be a better musician, get noticed by a label, get shows, get signed by a label....etc. So I thought I'd post some general advice for people who even bother to read this thing.

1) Most important of all, do what feels right to you. Don't just write heavy songs because you like "metal" and do not limit yourself! Listen to all styles of music and experiment. Just because you like a certain style of music doesn't mean you can't play and enjoy other styles.

2)If you want to start a band, make sure to find band mates that you can easily get along with, but at the same time you can argue with without causing problems between each other. Communication is key to being in a successful band! Remember: not everything has to be your way all of the time.

3)Write and record a short EP. Usually no more than 3 songs. This then can be used to spread the word about your band to radio stations and labels who accept solicitations.
