I am a piano player and songwriter from Dudley, West midlands. I'm 25, I've been writing music since I was 11 and taught myself to play piano. Been writing ever since and have a bunch of great songs I want to get out there whilst also doing some covers as well to win the crowds over.
The plan is to practice atleast 2 times a month for a few a hours, if more than great! From then onwards, we would do some open mic nights and try and get a little following. I have a brother who is a graphic designer who is more than happy to make buisness cards, Logos etc...
Once we've had experience playing together and feel confident in performing our own original songs then the plan would then be to go to the studio and get these songs professionally mixed/mastered. Luckily I can do a lot of the work in regards to music production and can normally make a pretty professional demo within a week or 2, depending on the complexity of the song.
After recording I would start paying monthly to have the songs put on spotify and then use BBC introducing as a catalyst to get heard on radio. A radio play could generate 1000s of plays on spotify would could help fund recording for next songs. Feel this is a tactical route to go down.
So you've got an idea of the sound we're going for, the main bands I aspire from are as follows:
Keane, Coldplay, The Strokes, Radiohead, MGMT, Muse, Mt Desolation, The Killers, ELO, Elton John, Tom Odell, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs, Mumford & songs, Lorde, Lily Allen, Tom Chaplin and many more!
