Musician (TopHouse)

October 2016 • Missoula, MT

What I liked

Pretty much everything. It was amazing to actually make the equivalent of a part time job just playing music on weekends. I loved being able to take concepts and ideas from my marketing degree and apply them to getting TopHouse's music out to people, as well as find creative ways to reach out to venues to have us play. This is what I want to do as a life long career, and I feel like the last summer was a great starting experience.

What I wish was different

I feel like there were certain instances where I could have pushed harder or made more of an effort to obtain specific gigs. In the future I plan on being more direct with my communication.

Advice

I would tell someone not to underestimate the value of taking the first step in communication. It can be intimidating to cold-call a venue or location that you are excited to play at, but it's amazing what can be done by simply taking the first step to reach out and form a relationship.
