Being an independent musician is both hard and yet richly rewarding. I love being able to do the things that matter most, and not being tangled up in the red tape of being under contract with a label. However, that means that I am doing ALL of the things that other artists have "people" for: booking, promoting, sales and marketing, etc. in addition to writing and performing. Support from others is vital to my ability to continue my ministry.
