    '"The biggest-selling album of all time began with a potential pool of 700 songs" Thriller MJ. I think the biggest problem most people have is having no material to chose from.

    Question I actually just left my old band, we had a following, had songs out, they’re going on fine, but I wanted to do my own thing. I’m currently paying off school debt and car payments and just don’t have much to save to record and release my first solo EP. I was thinking of doing a kickstarter as I think I have enough of a presence built up in my area to get support. Do you have any tips/thoughts on crowd funding and how to incorporate that into an EP release? I’m trying to learn my own mixing and then have someone else master but even mixing my own stuff has been a learning curve 😂

    Thank you for the video!
    We are a band just starting out, and we are planning an EP release in the summer, and a single in the next couple of months. What songs should we play in gigs before the release before our EP is released, for example the single release gig, which will be our first gig. Can we play songs that will be in the EP or not? If not, then we can only play one original song(our single) and the rest covers?
    Thanks
