About me examples for musicians

I am [first name], a musician in [your town]. I play live performance, session work and recording. Listen to a set, then tell me the room and the night you are filling.

Use this as the default on a personal site or portfolio.

I am a musician, and the part of the work I care most about is describing the music in terms a listener recognises rather than a press release. I am actively performing and recording, and my clients are mostly a promoter, a booker, or a listener who just found one track.

Use this when one specific standard is the reason people come to you.

I came to this work from [where you came from]. [Number] years later the thing that still holds my attention is describing the music in terms a listener recognises rather than a press release. I am actively performing and recording.

Use this if the route in is genuinely interesting. Skip it if it is not.

Right now I am mostly doing live performance, for a promoter, a booker, or a listener who just found one track. I am actively performing and recording. If you want to talk about session work, listen to a set, then tell me the room and the night you are filling.

Use this on a site you update. It dates fast, which is the point.

I am [first name] — a musician in [your town], actively performing and recording. [One true, small detail: a sport, a rescue dog, the town you grew up in]. Mostly I do live performance and session work.

Use this where people hire the person. One detail, not a life story.

If you are a promoter, a booker, or a listener who just found one track, you are in the right place. I am [first name], a musician, and what I do about booking a set that empties the room, from a description that told them nothing is the reason most people stay on this page.

Use this when the right visitor should recognise themselves immediately.

I am actively performing and recording. Releases you can listen to and a live history you can check, rather than adjectives about the sound. Beyond the paperwork: I work on live performance, session work and recording, and you can hear it before you read a word about it.

Use this where the licence matters and you do not want to lead with it twice.

I do one thing: live performance. I could do the rest of the list, and for years I did. I am actively performing and recording. If that is what you need, listen to a set, then tell me the room and the night you are filling.

Use this if you have deliberately narrowed. It reads as confidence.

Musician in [your town], actively performing and recording. Live performance and session work. Listen.

Use this where the form gives you a box and no more.

I am [first name]. I have been a musician for [number] years, working for a promoter, a booker, or a listener who just found one track. I am actively performing and recording. If it would help to talk, listen to a set, then tell me the room and the night you are filling — there is no obligation in it.

Use this in a field where selling yourself hard would be a mark against you.
