Sharp Social Media

Growing up a 'gig kid' hits different 🎸

Backstage was my playground. Green rooms were my classroom. The rhythm of load-in, soundcheck, performance, repeat - that was my normal.

Most kids learned about schedules from school. I learned from tour logistics.

Where creativity wasn't a hobby. It was how we lived. How we survived. How we made magic happen with limited resources and maximum passion.

This is why I get creatives and small business owners SO deeply. You're not just doing a job. You're crafting an experience. Telling a story. Making something out of nothing.

And yeah, that's why I'm here to handle the backend so you can stay in your lane of magic making.

First impressions matter

and your bio - whether that be on your website or social media - needs to stand out

I get it - writing about yourself can be hard

It’s about finding the sweet spot that keeps readers engaged

and not losing them with lengthy paragraphs and text

A balance between choosing the most relevant and recent things to weaving in a cohesive sense of who you are as an artist

Swipe to see my checklist on how I create effective musician bios

Here’s two more checklist items I couldn’t fit into the post for ya!

11. Tone and Voice:

- ☐ Maintain a consistent tone throughout the bio.
- ☐ Ensure that the writing style aligns with the artist's personality and brand.

12. Proofreading:

- ☐ Check for grammatical errors, typos, and clarity.
- ☐ Have someone else proofread the bio for a fresh perspective.

Did you know you don't own your social media profiles? 😲

That's why every musician needs a website.

With a website, you have control and ownership over the content, design, and functionality.

You decide how it looks, what's on it, and how it operates—it's all yours.

On the other hand, social media profiles (like Insta and Facebook) are like rented spaces.

You can decorate, but the platform sets the rules.

And, as we all know, the rules change all the time and at any time.

Suddenly, you're locked out, your content is less visible, and that hard-built community? P**f, gone.

But with a website? It's entirely yours, and you're in charge.

No sudden rule changes or surprises.

Plus, if anything weird happens to your account or the platform itself, people can still find you through your website—a permanent space for your brand.

Bonus: On your website, you can collect emails, building a direct connection with your audience that is yours.

So, while social media is great when it's cooperating, having a website is always there and always yours 🤟

Unless, of course, the internet goes away, but then I think we would all have bigger problems on our hands

And, of course, making sure the band gets fed! 🍔🎸 #behindthescenes #greenroom #soundcheck #socialmediaformusicians #formusic #socialmedia #socialmediamarketing #socialmediamanager #socialmediamanagement #stressfreesocialmedia #livemusic
