Musings over my music

I honestly believe that my musical ability and production skills are good. I think that I'm good enough to release music commercially, I have certainly heard enough shit on the radio to justify the belief that I'm not entirely hopeless.

Where I think I am now, is an awkward place where I'm making good music but unsure of how to best have it heard by either a lot of people, or by the right people.
I need to put the insecurities aside and send the EP to as many places as possible. I need to put it and my other music on iTunes. I need the people who like my music and support me now, to share my work on facebook and Twitter. Which reminds me, get on my facebook, my Twitter and my Soundcloud!

It's hard to stay positive and motivated at times but I have to keep going and make myself heard. I know I have the ability, passion and drive to suceed so I guess I just need to keep producing, keep promoting as best as I can, and keep hoping that sooner or later I will catch that bit of luck that pushes my work into the path of the masses, and the path of labels. I will be signed.

Come at me bro.

The EP is done!

Well I have been pretty quiet over the last month and a bit, but for good reason! I was recording vocals, mixing, mastering and getting the EP produced and ready to go. I can now say that after many long months that involved a lot of hard work and love, but not as much sleep - Sunsets and Silhouettes is done. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out (well I probably could, but I'm never satisfied with my own work), it is amazing to hold the finished product.

A lot of people were involved in the EP at all stages of its production and to all of those people I am very grateful to you and I can't believe that we did it! Thank you all so much for supporting me and my music. To set out to do something like this and actually complete it is a big achievement for me I think, I have learned so much through the process and perhaps most importantly it has shown me that I can do it,I'm still learning, and I'm hungry to write more music - better music. Not to say the EP isn't good, I love it - but I know I can always do better and that's what I want to do!

For now, the EP is being sent to everyone who funded the project through Pozible and in the coming weeks it will also be sent to a few record labels and producers. Then there will be a digital release which means you'll be able to buy the EP through iTunes in addition to getting your hands on a physical copy which will also be available.

If you want to check out some behind the scenes action of the production of the EP - here you are!

Take a look and as always, let me know what you think! I hope you like it :)
