The Ourstage Effect
Just 3 months ago music was just a hobby for me. I played guitar, sang songs and wrote music mostly for my own amusement. Once in awhile I’d get the itch to sing in front of a crowd and seek out a local open mic night. That was the extent of my music career. 3 months ago I found Ourstage and everything changed. People had always told me I was a good songwriter so, I decided to take some of my home recordings and upload them to Ourstage. My songs suprisingly held there own. One of my songs finished 39th. Since, that first month I have spent a lot of time a money re-recording all my songs trying to improve my chances for competing for a top spot. All the songs I started out with have been removed and replaced with better quality recordings. Although my funds are limited I keep striving to do better. I have been playing music on and off for 25 years but the last 3 months have been the most productive for me, all because of Ourstage.
Ourstage has been great for many reasons. First of all their staff is always very friendly and helpful. Especially Daniel who is always ready to help a fellow musician or an Ourstage fan. I have also made a lot of great friends on Ourstage, they have helped through thier critiques and ideas make me a better musician as well. Last but not least it is great to hear the creative new talents out there who will be the future of music.
So, I just want to say Thanks to Ourstage and all the wonderful musicians and fans that make this all work!!!
