More advice
Congratulations - I was coming here to suggest that you used Articles for Creation and I see you have already found them. You are finding your way around this maze much quicker than most: I'm not sure you need much more advice, but these policies and guidelines are worth knowing about:

Three key content policies:
 * WP:Verifiability: - it's not what you think is true, or know is true, it's what you can cite a reliable source for
 * WP:Neutral point of view
 * WP:No original research

The main inclusion criterion:
 * WP:Notability - need to show significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources
 * WP:Notability (people) and other subsidiary guidelines like WP:MUSICBIO

The rather long list of WP:What Wikipedia is not by which we try to remain an encyclopedia rather than a super-Myspace or a list of everything.

The article looks much better: I'm not convinced he meets the notability requirement, but see what the AfC people think. More sources would be useful, particularly anything that can be checked on-line. What the AfC people are asking for in "in-line citations" is a link between claims made in the article, like the Foglesong quote, and the sources from which they can be verified.

This artisit falls under #5 in the submission criteria: Has released two or more albums on a major label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable).
