I'm a solo artist. I've always had a big love for music and desire to make it, so I learned different instruments, built my poetry/songster skills, and went from there. I went barebones with recording, taking the best free options I could find and just recorded in my room. I'm fortunate to have a good music community in my town, so it's not too hard to get live gigs if you have the connections. Connections are really the biggest part of furthering your career!
