What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
Somehow, it happened that I stopped writing music. Than lost a lot of time. Advice, write always, write wherever you are – write music.
How do you get gigs? Can you share any tips?
I write on the page of the art director on facebook, I communicate with him, I give him my press release, schedule, mixes, in general, anything that might interest him. I dial the audience through the Internet, social networks, my university. I go and I give out invitations to my party. Advertising itself is cheap and productive!
What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
I had a problem selling myself. It was difficult to sell their work. But after a couple of photo sessions, advertising, and support of friends, I overcame this problem. Do not be afraid to tell the world about yourself.
How do you promote yourself? Do you have any specific promotion tips for other musicians?
As I said before, I advertise myself. Sometimes you had to spam on other people, and it worked! You just write: Hello guy, what’s new? I wrote a track here, listen, how about this? People, at times, do not know that you are going to write music, and you have to tell them about it.
We meet again in one year. What has happened?
I’m going to move abroad, I want to try to play in Canada, America and China. Also, my dream is to be released on OWSLA.
