Dessa Darling

Unfortunately I missed Dessa in class, but I have read about her in other blogs and websites.

Here is what I've gathered so far.

Get yourself or your band in media -  magazines, radio, TV...etc.  When doing this be very easy to work with - send in already written articles, the correct style of picture, b&w or color?  Contact the editors in local papers like City Pages, Vitamin with your submission.  With very good writing, you will be much easier to publish than the other thousands of submissions these editors get.

Being a jack of all trades can be very helpful to getting jobs.  I could definitely utilize this more.  I believe I am a decent writer but I am also a photographer.  Artists and bands are always looking for band pics this would be a great way to meet people and run into people who are might also be looking for a drummer.

I am seeing a pattern with local musicians.

-Become friends with many fellow musicians
-Be a jack of all or many trades
-Get exposure
