I am not familiar with the work of Dan May, but you may want to consider starting an actual article on him, as long as it fits within Wikipedia guidelines, such as WP:BIO. There are rules regarding external links that need to be maintained (otherwise the site would be overrun with links for everything). I understand your desire for promoting an artist, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and can only include articles which meet criteria for notability (see WP:NOTE). It can't really be used for promotion. If Dan May meets Wikipedia criteria, an article would be welcome. A place to start would be here WP:YFA. Take care.
