As a 25 year veteran of the road, I could tell some stories! Here's one that won't make you blush... Also, I'm currently shooting video for a "Gig Artist Masterclass" where I spill every trade secret, every bit of advice, and all my resources (a lot!) for any gig artist looking to fast-track! Spread the word, the course will be coming in January for Hitmaker & Inner Circle (or direct purchase!)!

Wrote this song in honor of Buskers, Gig Players, Independent Artists who do it on their own. Performed by Gabe Schillman and Michelle Simler.

Quick Pro-Tip: How to Secure Your First Investor as an Artist As a working artist for 27 years, here’s the truth: eventually you need someone to invest in you—studio time, tour van, merch run, whatever pushes you forward. The good news? Your biggest investors are already in your corner: your fans and supporters. If you’ve been good to them—shown up, shared your journey, delivered great music—they want to help you financially. They just don’t know how. So, tell them. Lay out your vision clearly. Show your passion and daily work. Define exactly what you need (“$5k to record my next EP” or “$10k for a regional tour”).Your supporters are the most overlooked—and most willing—investment source in the industry. Ask boldly. Offer perks (signed vinyl, private show, producer credit). Watch them step up. I’ve seen it happen hundreds of times. It’ll happen for you too. Drop your current “ask” below—I’ll help refine it. Let’s turn fans into investors. #ProTip #ArtistLife #SongCraftCollective
