How To Write A Good Artist Bio - (it's easier then you think!)

[@Lipesilviano]

I think fist person makes more sense for a small artist...Third person is best for medium/large artists for competing w/ the huge ones!! Man you are saving my life FOR REAL!! Been stuck trying to write this BIO for months.....and now I´ve got a place to start!! THANKS A LOT and again...Binge Watching ahahaha

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Legend, Bio’s are so hard. Difficult to talk about yourself, flick it past me when your done man, I’d love to have a read

[@Lipesilviano]

@@frommusiciantoartist OK...will do, thanks for the content man!

[@julieksings]

I really appreciate this teaching! I have been in the music industry for 40 years… I have done a lot of stuff… but my bios can become a list instead of giving that crucial element of “How can I relate” or “what’s in it for me” for the reader… this gives me a lot to think about. Thanks!

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Thank you for sharing this! I love hearing about what’s useful. All the best with it! Hope it’s helped you write better bio’s

[@mariusua7]

Good ideas, first person will be better to start the process.

[@frommusiciantoartist]

I think so yeah, It's a bit more approachable. How did you get on? Did you revamp your bio?

[@soulflowerawakening9917]

I like your background. It feels inviting.

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Thank you! That’s beautiful to hear. I am very fortunate to have such a good workspace

[@shawnsevo4244]

Hi Craig, this was so insightful! this video popped up just at the right moment for me and really made me re-think my Bio. Thank you so much

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Hey Shawn, so glad to hear it man! You’re very welcome

[@Divianne]

Thank you so much for this video. Currently rewriting my Spotify bio and taking your advice.

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Nice one! You're very welcome. What's your handle? I'd love to check it out

[@experi-mentalproductions5358]

I honestly never look at bios, I judge purely on the content, whether it's music or videos or whatever. I think me looking at your bio today, to see whether you walk the walk (and you do), was my first time reading a KZbin bio in years...

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Yeah I'm not a huge reader either. But I think it's important to have a solid one cos lots of people are readers. Thanks mate

[@microwavedmetal]

My bio describes my music, writing style, and where my inspiration often comes from. It’s me. I like it.

[@simonhornmusic]

I've just released my first song on Spotify and am on the journey from musician to artist so this is perfect for me, thank you! Love the Aussie accent and great to discover Jack Botts music as I've been away from Australia for over 20 years...

[@frommusiciantoartist]

So good! That's exactly what I want to hear. Wish you all the best with it, reach out if I can help in any way

[@simonhornmusic]

@@frommusiciantoartist Thanks! Will do :-)

[@CraigHoneysett]

Link your Instagram or Spotify profile! I’d love to have a read through your bio

[@aguscapu9975]

Thank you. Super valuable !

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Awesome man! Writing a bio is hard.. Hope this help you out

[@cameronpatrickscott]

Thanks, subbed

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Thanks Cameron! Glad you found the video helpful 😁

[@Bigwoody95826]

Thanks! 1st or 3rd person, that is the question. I think you answered,dont matter if you make it feel you are sharing this with potential fans. im about to put out my first music via distrokid so Im researching all this stuff, Damien Keyes is one of my favorite for music biz advice. Thanks again!

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Awesome! That’s very exciting, all the best with it. Damian Keyes is so good! He has a great grasp of the industry, I learn a lot from him. The other guy I learn a lot from is Adam Ivy.

[@watchmanhwa]

Thank you man this was helpful

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Glad to hear it! hopefully it helps you get some more traction with your music

[@Diehb]

Thank you so much, this was more helpful than I ever thought anyone could be

[@frommusiciantoartist]

So good, that’s very nice of you say, I’m glad I could help you out!

[@Hegstuffing]

Very nicely done!

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Hey thanks Craig! Hope this helped with your bio! Keen to hear the result

[@Hegstuffing]

@@frommusiciantoartist Very helpful, thank you. I'd be happy to share the bio w/ you once it's completed, of course.

[@silviapassiflora]

I love your holistic, invitational approach! 🌺

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Thank you so much! That’s very nice of you to say, I hope you get stacks out of these songwriting tips

[@shaboyshaboy1834]

Thanks so much for this. I’m actually a meditation and healing teacher but this really helps me decide to take the personal approach on my revamped bio.

[@frommusiciantoartist]

oh very cool! That's amazing, yeah it would be the same concept, just coming across more personable

[@south7844]

Thanks for the great ideas. So as an upcoming artist, a fairly short but solid, creative and stylistic introduction, rather than a long bio would do yeah? And i can always add stuff to it along the way in my carrier

[@frommusiciantoartist]

You’re very welcome. 100% you just need to spike someone’s interest rather then give them the full breakdown. There will be other opportunities for a deep dive

[@experi-mentalproductions5358]

@@frommusiciantoartist If you get good enough Mic the Snare will do a deep dive for you....

[@RK-ls6ce]

My question is saying we when I am just a soloist ( does that work?

[@frommusiciantoartist]

You could use we. It gives the appearance of you having a team around you which could be a good thing. I think as an independent, it’s not as powerful as you being you.

[@ikemarklemusic]

3rd person is best cause someone could easily lie about themselves being more popular than they actually are in 1st person. In addition to it, they may dream about success, thinking it was real, leading to what I mentioned earlier. Hope this helps! 👍

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Hey thanks Ike. Do you mean it’s better for someone else to write it for you? Or to write it yourself in the 3rd person? Glad you got something from the video!

[@ikemarklemusic]

@@frommusiciantoartist either one would be fine imo

[@Dayosonic]

I can write a bio , my issue is how to condense it to make it small . Lol

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Seriously! The Instagram bio is tiny! It’s a good opportunity to narrow down and find out that one thing you music is all about.

[@Dayosonic]

@@frommusiciantoartist I meant for my website not the gram and all the collabos have done .

[@mathiasayomah6684]

1st person please

[@frommusiciantoartist]

You're a fan of first person writing?

[@dickythomas570]

Can I mention name of singers that influence me in my bio?

[@frommusiciantoartist]

100% I think that's a great idea while you're building your online presence, Hey I'm Dicky Thomas I write pop music like Shawn Mendes (for example) people who love that kind of music will click through and check you out.

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Moment.. Not sure what this mean, but I appreciate it one the less

[@erikhesson]

Can you give me feedback on my bio please? .... Fusing profound/heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies with beachy, folk, pop, rock, & hip-hop vibes, Erik Hesson is a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and piano composer hailing from sunny, sexy St. Petersburg, Fl. Acclaimed for his compelling lyrics and hooks that draw you in immediately, he has released 11 singles since November 2022 and he performs regularly at nightclubs, bars, and other small venues around town until he can sell out stadiums and play larger venues in the future. His upcoming Unplugged Album is scheduled for release in the Summer of 2023 and is expected to be an instant classic.

[@frommusiciantoartist]

Hey Erik, for sure I can give some feedback. You’ve got some nice accolades visions here to get your audience excited. I think generally it’s a bit broad though. I’m struggling to imagine what a beach folk pop rock hip hop vibe would be. I think you’d find more success narrowing that genre (even if your music does cover all of those, it should target more specifically) pick one or two. Then I would just leave off the future stadiums section. It sounds like your reaching a bit. On the whole good man!
