Fails WP:MUSICBIO - after removing refs from his bandcamp page all sources are from whats-on listings. No assertion that any of his recordings have charted anywhere. Bazj (talk) 22:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as my searches clearly found nothing better. SwisterTwister   talk  02:57, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Solely self-published, as per the article. We are getting this more and more, and self-published music is becoming somewhat mainstream. We do not currently have criteria that would allow us to assert notability for such sources, per WP:NMUSIC. LaMona (talk) 01:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep thanks for the AFD note. I think he has enough coverage in reliable sources such as Orlando Weekly,Anchorage press,Concert Review,The Appalachian,Independent Clauses, Axis Magazine, and similar in a mixture of previews and reviews to enable a verifiable article to be well sourced and for WP:BASIC to be passed.

 * Delete It may be more of a case of too soon as he appears to perform in wide enough locations that he is more than the Orlando-based phenom that the article states, but there is no evidence provided here that touring the world in and of itself has established notability. I agree with user  LaMona  that these kinds of independent artists in charge of their own press efforts are becoming more plentiful, making it harder to discern which are wikipedia worthy. I tip in favor of delete based on the fact that the references cited by user  Atlantic306  to establish notability are, in fact, 1) trivial local “whose performing this week” type entertainment blogs under the auspices of otherwise notable entities, or 2) articles that are of the subject talking about himself and his ambitions rather than contain independent objective reportage of any achievement or notoriety.
