  • I know I've seen you post about this before but I've forgotten what your actual plan is. Regardless, I'm no expert but I would say your method of how you're going to get your music (whatever your plan is) out there for people to know about it so that you can earn your money. Are you going to set yourself up some kind of social media so you can try and spread it/advertise it that way?

  • Yes but I need to get some work that I can get recorded first as I’d prefer a live set recorded at a venue than street music as really street music isnt abour money i mean music in general cant be abour the money as if it is you won’t get the money as it will be soulless but gig have more of a payment expectation so put out the image you wnat to be predicted 

    my main goals are gigs and schools workshops

    pop music seems to be my best genre because a pop song can be played so many ways where as a pop punk or rock song seems more limited 

    also pop music is kind of my favourite genre overall 

    my latest cover that im working on is flowers by miles Cyrus and im super proud abour how it’s coming along 

    im struggling a bit with Taylor swift delicate but I live thr song so much im gunna keep working on it a bit at a time 

    passion for me is key to music but also kindness to your audience and the public 

    ideally is like a workshop at least once a week and a gig once a week this gives me say 3 days rehearsal and mabie a busk on one of the days 

    for thr workshops i want to do a mix of singalongs and self expression using rhythm sticks and tangerines etc to allow kids to discover how easy it is to find your way into music mabie work with the schools to arrange an essembly at the end of the term 

  • I think you probably need some kind of flyer/poster/information sheet then particularly with schools in mind. Advertising what you're offering, the cost to them, the benefit to them etc. Send it out to schools or drop off in person and explain what you're offering. See if you can set up a meeting to discuss. 

    I can't advise much on the gigs side of things. I don't know enough about it.
