Hello and Happy Sunday!
Yep – it has been awhile, I fully understand that. But, with the holidays, holiday parties, work (my 9-5 job), birthdays, and gigging, it is what it is.
Specifically we will talk about Coachella.
It started back in November. Mutually we looked for one another and a kinship was established. Right from the get go I was told to be original and that original music was desired. I have done a lot in my career, but write music is not one of them. Through discussions it was established that I should be original and was encouraged to put some unique/original music together. I was invited to California for an audition and at stake was a small side stage spot.
I am pretty superstitious and I had not told anyone what was going on. I made a post on Facebook and the post instantly blew up! But…….Yep…….That phone call. The call was pretty simple asking how much original music did I have. Being honest, I told them none. I was asked not to come and that I would earn credibility if I did not come. I was crushed! After some discussion and because of the awesome mix-tape that I submitted, I was granted a video audition.
I told them that I would knock their socks off.
I have completed the audition and I am waiting to hear the outcome. I was told by several members that my skills are second to none and comparable to most. When they realized what equipment I was using, all I heard was gasps.
Attached is the MP3 of the audition and I have video too. The issue with the video is the audio side. I am looking for someone to marry the two and the interim, I am not putting the video up.
The audio is just over 36 minutes and it is entertaining. It took 90 tracks to make and doing it live was a lot of work! Its not ~perfect~ but hey its entertaining.
Enjoy!
