Be not afraid to get yourself into great physical shape, whatever that means to you individually, so that you can really shine onstage. You are going to have to stand out in some special way if you want to captivate your audience, and the best way to do this is to be relaxed and to be yourself. While this is common sense, it certainly bares repeating for many of you.
You have your songs, your “look,” (perhaps) a solid following, and you’ve been at this for a while. I say kudos, but you say “who knows?” The singers, songwriters, and musicians my heart resonates with the most are the ones who are going it alone, fighting to overcome great adversity, and/or are with a band that can use a healthy, compassionate, and genuine infusion of self-esteem. After all, it is often the case that, the more talented you are or the (more) glowing potential you show, the (less) many people will want you to know. Regardless of whether or not you have the best music producer software, music creation software, or other equipment, you should still be making music and getting digital music distribution.

From pen to paper, the craft of songwriting is so primal and primitive to some that they often forget that it is a gift; a tiny seed that holds the promise of growing into the very largest of productions. For those of you who feel like you are “dying with the music inside you,” I ask you and beg you (from my own periods of discouragement) to consider just how very important you are. You are the creator of inspired life through your music, no matter how light or how dark your work happens to manifest. Therefore, you are the giver (if by nothing else, than by default), as the by-product of being the creator. You are the giver of a kindred hand and spirit. In your unconventional message, through the psychic imprint of who you were or where you were at the time you wrote that piece, you extend forever that needed sense of identification and personal recognition to the listener who has arrived at that emotional or spiritual point at a time that was different than yours was, yet finds the much-needed company of the kindred spirit who is on the same wavelength within the song. It’s deep, but it’s also true. Additionally, it’s there whenever the listener needs it.
Often worth thousands upon thousands of therapy bills, you offer it (often-times) in a 3-5 minute, single session. Yes, you are very important indeed. That’s even if you find yourself wounded in some way when considering how to share the gift. Do not worry. Be not afraid. It is your calling, or you wouldn’t be able to write songs or make music. The way will pave itself, you will be guided when ready, and guardians/messengers will meet you along the way to provide the road maps.
If you are suffering in any way, you will heal yourself by healing others. You would not be here otherwise. You might have notebooks upon notebooks filled with lyrics and music, but because you haven’t recorded them, you think that they don’t matter. They matter. If they didn’t matter, you wouldn’t have written them. There are songs in those notebooks that can improve a someone else’s life (if not your own). That song might be the one message that somebody needs to hear.
Get yourself energized. Drink plenty of healthy fluids. If you smoke, quit, even with the help of a medication if necessary. You don’t have to carry bad lifestyle habits, despite some of the stereotypes about musicians and songwriters. Get out of your chair, exercise, raise your pulse, pick up your instrument, pen, and paper, and hit the “record” button. Get your songs ready and book that show.
More to come.

I apologize for the possible off-topic. Guys, could you inform me which web hosting company you are using right now I have a problem because my current web hosting company hostrator.com is kicking me off. They say that our website is using too many server resources. But our website only gets 300 visitors per day.. Anyway, what would be your recommendations? Are you happy with your web hosting providers? I am checking LCN at the moment, but is it real that they can provide unlimited disk space? I have contacted them and they say something like “1000GB disk drive costs only $30 per month, so if some day we will start running out of disk space we will simply add a new 2000GB drive so can continue uploading..”. What do you think about it? Any ideas and web hosting company name suggestions are much appreciated.

In the world of Trance Music, the term Trance Albums covers a lot of territory. Going to see Umek Tonight. Its gonna be really good. There playing with David Guetta. Then next friday ill be seeing Simon Patterson. amazing nights ahead . Some trance music, like that of Armin Van Buuren or Tiesto, sounds very close to Classical music. Skazi and Skazi create music that is equally at home on the dance floor, in the car, or at home on headphones. At the other end of the spectrum, artists like Steve Angello and Moonbeam are pushing the boundaries of popular electronic music with their more abstract trance music .
