Creating music has been my passion for a long time. As soon as I started learning the basics of my instrument, I would try to create my own melodies and riffs.

I've been now publishing my music for a couple o years, with my new EP being released just in a few days.

In the screenshot there's my Spotify page, something which I am particularly focusing on right now, to make sure that I can slowly expand my fanbase, and reach new potential fans. I am working to get on new playlists that fit my musical genre in the most precise way possible, to make sure that I reach the right people and gain valuable followers also on my social media pages.

I am also making sure I have a credible Youtube page, where I am publishing videoclips of my songs, as well as some extra content such as tutorials, mix breakdowns, and covers from other artists.

Instagram and other social media platforms are obviously going to be key in every area of my work, but I felt it was worth mentioning it also in this section. I'm trying to be as active as possible on Instagram to further connect to my audience, as well as using it's ads function to promote my music to new people.

Production, mixing, and mastering have been areas where I developed a lot of interest as I've been progressing as a musician, and I think that offering these kind of services can be a good source of income as I try to improve and make my way to become a professional musician.

For now, I am mainly starting to promote these services via social media, in this case Instagram. I am starting to do some promotions on the platform with the aim to get potential clients, but It's definitely an area which I have to work on. I am also planning to do some content specifically related to mixing and production, to showcase my work and keep the business active, potentially leading to more customers. I am also planning to promote myself in pages like Fiverr in the future.

My main idea is to link this area of my revenue streams particularly with my artist career, with the aim to potentially sell things like t-shirts, tab books of my songs, or separate multitracks stems of my albums.

As a Fractal Audio artist, and with great help of my mentor Marco Fanton, I am doing great progress with Fractal Audio Systems presets. It's a business I intend to keep going, as for now it is showing good results.

Here's a video of one of my presets that are available for sale.

I am also planning to participate in as many fairs as possible. Like last year I will be at Guitar Show at Bologna as an exhibitor in less than a month, and it will be a great way to make connections and promote my work.
