Motivation Hour: Feeling Down and Thinking of Quitting Music?

Updated: Sep 22

As a musician, there are times when circumstances may not act in your favor. However, when quitting music strikes your mind like a guitar string, remember why you got started. Persevering in some situations will be difficult, but what if there is a trick out of the mood?

The trick is simple: to leave the blues and get some pop feeling, you only need to write a bio. 





Writing Your Bio


Writing a bio seems silly in times of crisis, but it works its magic if you have the right mindset toward it. “But I have the perfect bio,” then it is time to update it. Take your bio writing exercise as writing your online journal. Write what you see in yourself and what you expect others to see in you.


Steps to Writing Your Bio


Below is a step-by-step guide to performing this mind-healing process that will make your soul sing again.


  1. Log in to your social media of choice. LinkedIn is advisable for professional musicians

  2. Write down all your accomplishments. Some ideas on what to write include:


    • How long have you been in the music game?

    • How many songs have you played?

    • How many songs have you released?

    • How long have you been full-time?

    • Any song placements on TV with other artists

    • Signed any deals

    • Any new music update?

    • Education, mentorship, and training

    • Any upcoming projects


  3. Edit it and upload it on your social media page.

  4. Avoid using any AI tool to write it for you. Using AI tools defeats the purpose of writing a bio as a tool for self-introspection.


It is a normal reaction to feel overwhelmed occasionally, but practicing journaling and gratitude gives you a reason to push forward and not quit music.
