1. Do you sing, play an instrument or instruments?
I sing, play the piano and am currently learning how to play guitar.
I started playing piano at the age of 7/8. I started playing guitar not too long ago. I've never taken singing lessons, but I intend to do so, in order to learn the various techniques which make singing easier.
I've always had piano lessons. I wasted almost 2 years at a big school and quit when I realized I didn't make any progress. I'm currently taking lessons focused on blues/jazz and pop.
2. Are you in a band or bands?
I'm not in a band, but I'd love to be. Unfortunately, the people I'm close with aren't interested in making music and since I'm a socially awkward person, it isn't easy for me to ask other folks whether they'd like to jam. I'm trying the best to fix this problem though. However, I do have live experience playing with others, since my music school organizes a big festival each year.
3. Do you write songs?
I write my own songs and compose music as well. I started doing it regularly last year.
4. Do you record your music?
Currently, I'm only able to record my music with a camcorder or a phone. But I'm saving money for a good mic.
I upload my music on SoundCloud and YouTube, links are in my signature.
5. What other roles do you perform in the music business?
None.
6. Are you a tech head?
Nope.
7. What country do you live in?
Germany.
8. What are your ambitions?
I want to realize my dream off making a living out of the activity I love the most.
9. Do you draw/paint/write stories/computer art/dance or other creative pursuit?
I draw, photograph and/or design the cover arts of my songs and future home-made albums.
10. What would you like to get out of Songstuff?
I want honest criticism in order to get to the next level. I want to improve and I'm here to learn.
