How To Write A Musician Bio

Marketing yourself is one of the most complex, challenging parts of a performing career. And one of the basic tools for self-marketing is your bio; it's the elevator pitch for you as an artist, a quick condensation of what you want to present to your market. Teaching musician Dave Ruch gives a tutorial focusing on what you need to convey and how, and what you should leave out, and does so by editing and commenting on a sample bio. He shows how he would craft a longer bio, and what to condense for a medium-length and short-length version.
