So I’m a bass player. I officially became a full time musician last year. Being musical director at a church, and now playing in an agency band as well as hitting with some local groups when I get the call. The issue I’ve found now is finding out how to expand. When you’re learning music, and preparing stuff for church where do you find the time to work on the craft itself?

@responsibassmusic 5 месяцев назад

Thanks. It’s very helpful.

You also play the perfect instrument to get gig's consistently once the word gets out your reliable. Bass players are always in demand. 🤘👊👊

The best advice I ever got from a buddy of mine that made it big in Nashville (plays for Justin Moore and Luke Combs and previously played with Billy Ray Cyrus) was “BE A GOOD HANG”. If you’re not cool to hang out, you might as well move out of Nashville.

@ZakEdwardsOfficial 4 месяца назад

Anyone that refers to performing live as a "gig" is not someone anyone should take advice from. I've made my living in this business as a performer for the last 25+ yrs and anytime someone comes in with that mindset, I always let them go within weeks. Small time thinking breeds small time results. I understood early on to learn every aspect of this business and not need to ever be "hired". That information is there for everyone. If you put yourself in a place of being a "hired gun"..that is the most you will ever be.

Honestly I can't wait to leave Colorado. Colorado might be great for marijuana and mental health and outdoor activities but it sucks when it comes to musicians. A couple years ago I tried to collaborate with a musician because he was looking for somebody to sing jazz standards with. He was going to play piano and I would've been the vocalist. Worst experience of my life, he was the biggest jerk ever and he pushed me down the steps because he didn't like how I did the music or what suggestions I wanted to make. I have a real problem with egotistical people. I don't know what's in the water here in Colorado but I don't like the people here.

@Arrozconleche573 5 месяцев назад

Just charge your worship leaders or else you leave

@arguy2021 5 месяцев назад

Like send them a bill for your playing time? Am I correctly understanding your suggestion?

@chemdrum 5 месяцев назад

This is dope. Lol it’s like I never find a video on RU-vid that shows the exact steps on what you do once you get paid. Is it by creating an LLC? If so, how does that work? Do you pay tax? Do you get paid cash under the table or is it in checks? Cashapp? Venmo? Zelle? PayPal? I think this area is where I’m always stuck at when it’s about making money in music full time. If Anyone tcan lead me in any useful direction
