Hey all, I know I already posted a thread about age and persuing your dreams, but I wanted to start a thread about getting signed versus just being in a unsigned local band.
I had my voice lesson the other day and I was talking to my teacher about this subject. She said she thought that at my age, 43, I wouldn't be able to get a record deal but I would still be able to be in local cover bands and that's about it, as to performing. She said there are alot of other avenues I can get into to, and I know that, but when it comes to being on stage, that's what I wanna do. I want to start out being in a cover band but then branch out and do originals too and go as far as I can.
What are your thoughts on this? Is it too late to for me to even think about getting signed one of these days?
I don't write music, but she suggested that I start taking music theory and learn how to write. When I get the money to do so, I'm going to look into it. What I see myself doing is collaborating.
