Hey everyone. My name is Daniel and I'm a college student. I'm taking a Music Appreciation class which requires me to interview a professional musician (you can be part-time, full-time, whatever. You just need to have made some form of income off your music at some point or another). The trouble is, I don't know any musicians! It also can't be a classmate. So, after some searching online, I figured I'd try asking a community of music lovers if anyone is interested in helping me out. It'll only take a couple minutes and you'd be doing me a huge favor. The questions (provided by my professor) are as follows:

1. How long have you been in the music business and what is you training background?
2. What is your primary instrument or voice part?
3. How often do you perform? Describe a recent performance.
4. What type of preparation is involved in your performances? What types of decisions are involved? What musical style(s) do you perform?
5. Are you a full time musician or plan to be? What are the advantages or disadvantages of being a musician?

Don't forget to include your name and/or stage name, band name, etc. If you have any published albums or singles, feel free to mention those. Free self-promotion never hurt anyone. :P

But yeah! As you can see, it's pretty simple! I would be ever so grateful for your assistance.

Thanks!
