DIY Artist/Musician - Skills Development

As a singer-songwriter and music maker paving a bold path in the new music business, I have identified the specific sets of skills and areas of management for my professional career.

For the sake of keeping things simple, a personal philosophy and a highly effective way of being more productive I believe, I have broken down the facets and skills into two high level categories, under which the specific skills i have chosen to strengthen and master according to my talents and my goals.
