The Next Step..........
I’m back in the studio soon to record another of my tracks 18 again. The next few records will be more up tempo style numbers. Its not thrash or heavy, its more kinda middle of the road rock. I don’t only do ballads, though you’d be forgiven for thinking that. I love to work in loads of different genres and I’d even love to record some ambient electronic vocals. I even have a secret desire to sing opera! My uncle was a very successful opera singer and I am often to be found singing along in the car to Puccini.
However, the big problem I’m trying to solve at the moment is what the next step is. I want to move up a level and I felt that I did that with my last gig at the Georgian Theatre, but its like eating sweets. You just want more and more!
I have my single out soon on Matchbox records (delayed again!!!) But I want more live gigs that are above the usual: "Playing to three guys in a pub who are waiting to go on after you" type of gig.
I guess what I need is a manager/promoter type person behind me, someone who knows people, who knows people, but good ones are hard to come by. Getting ’into’ the music business is so hard, because there are so many people wanting to get through the door and there are only so many openings.
I’m sure something will come along soon, If I keep remembering this famous saying:
"It’s funny, the harder I worked the ’luckier’ I became......"
