Hi I love the content! It’s perfect for what I’m looking for-Thankyou.
I’d suggest couple things- maybe don’t ... shout? -
have the camera zoom out a bit so you can be seen properly?
visuals to help would be good- I’m dyslexic and find images helpful.
This is just personal opinion though!

I wonder if anyone could offer me feedback on this first try at a one-liner:
Weaving hard-earned words of wisdom, truth, courage and love into songs, stories and melodies that shift the inner landscape and heal the soul ✨

How’s this for an opening?

Sneaker Head Hip-hop, commanding outlook & positivity with a burst of Soul, Trap & Pop- are phrases which naturally describe Northern Canadian musician Jr aka Boi Bebble. Independently led by Engineer/ songwriter James Jr Gordon, Bebble blends motivation lyrics capability with R&B sensibility, to create a trailblazing type musical career.

I’m researching on how to promote a single that is coming out very soon. It is a Thanksgiving day song and my hope is it will come back around every fall for many many years. I’m thinking about catching their attention by writing the chorus as the first line….

“She took everything but the turkey, she left without saying a word, now I’m all alone on Thanksgiving day she took it all and gave me the bird”

Anybody want to give me some advice?

How do you deal with your bio as an upcoming artist who needs a record label 🏷.

Here's a bio, let me know what you think!

Brooding, introverted and volatile are words which grasp at fitting SOMBRA’s music into a niche. The project, based out of Montreal, Canada flirts with the borders of genre and style, often shifting moods within the same song, like the subconscious mind can wander alone in a dark room. Led by producer / multi-instrumentalist, Matthew Cataldo, SOMBRA blends chunky, hip-hop inspired electronic beats with alt-rock sensibility; heavily distorted bass riffs and spiralling synth & guitar lines are the foundation with which melodic vocal lines sit. Inwards-looking and begging to wage war on the inner psyche, SOMBRA’s music reveals a dynamism that examines the reality of the human condition.

Hi, this is the start of my artists bio, I'm curious what you think. I know it can always be better, but is it interesting?


THE SIREN STORY:
The Siren, was a winged creature who protected the Goddess Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter. One spring solstice, Persephone wandered off through a field of flowers and was abducted by Hades to the Underworld where he forced her to marry him.

The Siren failed in her sworn duty to protect Persephone, was stripped of her wings and banished from Mount Olympus to an island off the coast of Sicily. She would remain there until she found Persephone and returned her home safely.
