Worries of the Independent Artist with the Hyper-Hyphenated Job Description

Category: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:15 pm

It’s hard living a double life.
You know…the dayjob with the medical insurance and steady income and
that other part of your life that makes it all worth living.
It’s even harder when that double life gets divided into further little pieces.
One starts feeling like a person with multiple personality disorder.
And sometimes, one yearns for a day off! (laughs)

I just finished stuffing a few envelopes with a CD and our promo info to send
to a couple of magazines.
I’m trying to get some notice for our new album.

One has a limited amount of time. The trouble is, there’s so much to do.

We live in a world now where a musician can be his own record label, but that
involves contacting college and internet radio, online and print ‘zines and blogs, staying on top of
websites like facebook and myspace, booking gigs, trying to make new out-of-town
contacts to get the band out and heard…..the list becomes long and the hours grow short.

Oh yeah. And you need to write some good songs.
