A music performer is generally either a singer who provides vocals or an instrumentalist who plays a musical instrument. Musicians may perform on their own or as part of a group, band or orchestra.

 * No doubt, but I think the concern is that there aren't any sources covering him in any depth. There are only two sources in the article now, one referring to a list of writing credits, and the other (New Wave of American Heavy Metal) only mentioning him as becoming a member of or leaving a band. (That's just what the searches from the book listing retrieved; I couldn't examine the whole book). A common change in this situation would be to make the article title a redirect to an article on a definitive band/project that he worked on. Other than that, the article wants a few more sources treating him in some depth as an individual musician.  signed, Willondon (talk)  21:38, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
