Introducing Yourself In A Bio
DJ bios are a great way for fans to get some quick information after they first hear about you or promoters and venues to check out who you are when they consider you for an event. The first thing you need to do about them is keep an eye on your grammar. Your success as a DJ might not depend on how well you write, but it sure is nice if an official retelling of your origins and career doesn’t have mistakes jump out at your readers in every sentence.
Even if you’re completely sure of yourself grammar-wise, still give it to one of your friends for a quick read so they can catch something you happened to miss. It’s always harder to notice mistakes in your own text than somebody else’s. All this will keep your bio clean and help you come across as a professional DJ, rather than an upstart or wannabe.
It won’t hurt to give extra thought to the structure and content of your bio as well . Things like an outline, a solid starting point and an overall theme will help you turn up quality writing. Sure, this is no literature, just a bio of a DJ, but there’s no reason not to make it as good as you’d like it to be. Also, consider the length of your bio. You don’t want to bore your fans with too many details, just the important things they would be interested in.
Here’s a list of questions to answer in a basic bio:
At the end of the bio, make sure to list your most notable achievements on the music scene and possibly endorsements from well -known names in the industry. You may not be a product waiting to be sold, but then again, you might just be it when promoters and venues come to the website to read your bio.
Naturally, you end the page with your contact information and a visible announcement about your upcoming events and other interesting projects. When people are impressed or at least content with you after reading your bio, you want to lead them somewhere they can listen to your music or see what more you can do.
