I’ve realized that playing across different genres really helps in finding unique opportunities. Recently, I jammed with an indie rock band one week and then recorded for a jazz project the next. It’s amazing how versatile skills can open doors in this industry, but I’m curious — how do you all balance diversifying your sound while also honing a specific style?
Diving into various genres definitely helps, but I think it’s crucial to set aside time for your signature style. In my experience, I focus on one project at a time — like honing my sound in a solo acoustic gig while I explore other styles elsewhere. How do you find time to work on your own sound amidst all the jamming?
Finding that balance isn’t easy! I try to schedule specific sessions for my own sound, even if it’s just an hour a week. @mmartinez, what genres do you find most beneficial to your main style?
this drives me nuts too! I think it’s crucial to carve out specific time for your own style, even if it feels like you’re juggling too much at once. Maybe try setting aside a dedicated afternoon each week?
