career plan

My name is Jesse and I'm a recording artists/producer. I make music for not only for myself but also for other people who's interested in my work and want to use it for their own work which is mainly hip hop and RnB. My skills are singing, rapping, piano and songwriting. I've got a lot of knowledge on the productive side of music such as how everything works on logic, making my own sound mixing and EQ-ing, etc. The reason I do this is to make a musical identity of myself and show the world what my music has to offer to the world. My past experiences with music include putting up music in SoundCloud, creating music and lyrics for a song, performing, and even writing music for a short film.

In regards to my fanbase, I don't have any at this moment which I need to start thinking of for the future, My fanbase will be based on people who love hip hop RnB neo-soul and soul music and those who are interested in my work and would like to work with me. my fanbase also includes my friend and family and friends who supported me throughout the way of my musical life.

with live performance, I've performed in two different venues with no fee. my college's theatre is where I mostly perform songs I've come up with or covering with a whole band.another venue I performed in was in a theatre in Camden where I performed a piece I created for a silent that drama students created for the music students to play over.

My marketing is mainly on SoundCloud. with this, in mind, I am thinking of moving to also youtube in the future to also help promote myself to the public. My other plan in terms of marketing is to also perform in venues to help with my performing on stage too.

For my marketing on SoundCloud and Youtube, I'll be releasing my own song and instrumental. in the future ill have a solid schedule for when I'll release tracks and what to release.

Harrison gig evaluation

For the gig, my role was to mix everything used in the gig which includes piano, Bass/guitar, vocals and the cojones. My experience at that gig was a lot of fun with mic-ing things up, sound checking and also controlling the light as well. With mixing Me and my other assistance was in charge of getting the right balance and sound for the gig so we had to pay close attention to the sound and also to the band as well and what they want to hear. The venue was small but small to have 4 people to perform to a couple people.

Evaluation

Our planning was great we met the deadline for the timescale and we was all happy about it. We was given enough time to come up with the planning.

 I planned on doing a song by J Cole called note to self but didn't do it cause no one but me was learning the song. 

I was also planning on doing an original song with a backing track. The track was to large so I had to use Wetransfer to send the track to grant for the performance. Sadly I couldn't do that song because one other band member didn't turn up so by myself I couldn't do it. 

My part in the planning was the special effect. There wasn't  really much I could work with so all I could come up with is smoke machine and firework. Fireworks we didn't have but we had lots a smoke. 

Next time I'm planning I would make sure everyone learns songs and not mess around and for me to research more on special effects. 

The performance was amazing had a wonderful audience they interacted with us which was a big plus. Musically we was kinda prepared. I say kinda cause we was still learning lyrics changing who sings what and bringing in song at the last moment which worked out thank goodness for that. 

My thoughts on the performance is it all work out really well at the end. The audience was really wonderful. My thoughts that didn't go so well was songs getting canceled because of one persons and having to change things for some songs because of him but again thank goodness it worked out in the end. 

I don't want to sound to vain or boastful but my individual performance was awesome. Really and truthfully I amazed myself  didn't think I would performance with such confident. 

The audience really was just amazing didn't think that they would respond when we was doing the interacting part in hey ya. 

If I was preforming again i would learn all the lyrics for I see fire by Ed Sheeran and not mumble the words pretending to know the lyrics.
