Hi Damo can I get three point five tips about writing a bio as an indie beginner
singer-songwriter - Wow I wonder what half a tip is so writing a bio as and so
one of the questions I would ask is what would the bio be for if it's
for your social media I think there's a very very good question because I think
there's such an untapped resource in this sort of field of about sections and
write-ups that people bore the shit at of me whenever I go on to people's
Facebooks bands' Facebooks and I go on to their write up I read three lines and I'm
like just I'm bored I'm out and you've got an opportunity and everything's an
opportunity but this is an opportunity to tell your story and so I was with a
band the other day and it was Emnibis actually these guys who are brilliant
and I went to see them had a chat about sort of a new album they've got coming
out and what they're doing went up to the studio it was really nice to see
them and I was saying never forget this band's been going for nearly ten years
so never forget that whilst you're 10 years later you remember all of the
little bits you'll remember all of the story but someone
who've just joined your facebook they don't know the story they don't remember
this sort of stuff they want to know these stories they want to know how it
started they want to know the stuff that happened on the way it just can't
start from today so you've got an opportunity to actually to tell your
story and I think that's what's good about bio you're saying this is what we
do but come with me on a journey and let me tell you a story because that's what
we love so you've got the opportunity to paint a picture so for me I would say if
you're gonna write a bio as a singer-songwriter then obviously your
works gonna do you know people gonna see your work but you've got another
opportunity to fill in the gaps which is more than just do you like my songs or I
do this it can also be this is how I started and
you can get people to fall in love with what you do from
painting a good picture so for me writing a bio is a lot of work and
that's why people don't do it because it takes a long time and it's a lot of
creativity and people go three-piece band from Cardiff playing rock music and
people like okay that's just facts that is boring that's shit why don't you tell a
story how did you meet well if you went on the Graham Norton Show or something
and he was interviewing you he would want more than facts he would want to know
a story he would wanna know history he would
want to know what you stand for he would want to know what you're working towards
he would want to know what you see in the future you know he would want to
know the whole thing he would want to know what makes you tick why you're
doing it what you love you know as a songwriter who are your influences
there's a big one you know I love these singer songwriters they really inspire
me or you know for me I'm like seventies production
I love vinyl because I love 70s production I know you can get vinyl in
any year but I just love the vinyl and seventies production it
goes together well you know you could get all of these little bits of
information into a bio and it doesn't have to be long but I think I
think people miss a trick because it's just a way of tying you in
of making people go look do you feel the same as me and they go I do feel the
same as you so you know and my half a tip is never ever..... good so things to do comment
60minwin hashtag 60minwin you can do this on any of the platforms
we've got and we'll be doing prizes every couple of days the next one is
going to be if you want to win a recording day a day in the studio near
you I'm gonna pay for it near you I'm not gonna pay for Abbey Road
but I'm gonna find a studio that's near you that's a normal everyday price
and I'll pay for you to go in the studio then this but I'll also probably be
picking people out and doing skypes I want to do some more skypes I've got
some time next week so I'm gonna book in some skype so if you want to Skype with
me and to work on some socials then hit me up so that's the thing to do and
again going back to the Taylor Swift look after me I will look after you go

YouTube and make a comment on youtube I read it I will notice it you
