How to Make It in the Music Industry

Apologies for the long time away, I have been extremely busy with work. Still, I will not let it lie.

I have been playing at least a couple of nights a week on London’s open mic scene. I cannot describe to you how beneficial this has been for my confidence and my ability to perform. For all my peers who sit at home smoking and dreaming, you need to get out and do this, it will make you so much better.  By chance I also met Tony Kaye, director of American History X, who invited me to the premier of his new movie, Lake of Fire. If there’s any reason to play out, that’s got to be it! And it proves that you never know who will be in the audience.

A band has expressed some interest in jamming. They are a tightly nit group and I hope that something will come of it. They heard me play and seemed very interested, so will keep you posted.

I’m certainly feeling the pressure to write more songs; the last month has been pretty slow creatively!

I’ve also recently watched the film Once, starring Glen Hansard, the famous irish singer songwriter. It is absolutely brilliant and I would recommend everyone watch it. Some of the performances are staggering; it’s something we can all aspire to be!

I will write more soon, I promise!
Take care,
Chris.
