To Blog or Not To Blog
Current mood: curious
Category: Blogging

For those that dont know, i work in the music industry, under a few hats.

Im currently working full time for a music based website as its content manager and A&R. As part of that job im in touch with the different record labels as well as band managers, band members, production group heads, as well as a whole lot of the independent groups and it is part of my job description to feature them on www.odysseylive.net with their different endeavors and happenings.

I also work part time for a local production house / management firm called Sonic Boom and though the description is not exactly clear, a part of my responsibilities include being up to date with whats going on with the bands under our roster.

Beyond all that, i play bass for two bands, both of which have their share of friends and supporters and keeps me in touch with some of the other people i wouldn't see otherwise.

All in all, i've got quite a bit of friends and acquaintances in the music industry and am now thinking of starting a blog that speaks of what its like to be in this world. Now i know that alot of other people are in this world as well but somehow it is thought that my connection into this world is a complete connection and not just bits of pieces here and there...for example, i live with the Singer of Urbandub (a hugely popular rock band in Manila, Philippines), our neighbors include other bassists such as Nathan Azarcon and Nino Avenido, both of whom are established musicians with numerous prestigious awards under their belts, sometimes we hang out...i also attend presscon's and video shoots and sometimes even get invited to listening parties wherein we listen to an album prior to its release...by some of the most in demand bands in the Philippines.

So, what do you guys think? Will writing about these encounters be something entertaining enough for you to want to check out?
