I have written my own bio, and would like some feedback. It's very abstract and symbolic. I like it, but I don't know if the music industry will. http://www.broadjam.com/DoctorEternal (under the pic).Crits of the pic welcome to. I submitted my first songs today via BroadJam. Wish me luck!Dr.E

Dr E,When I saw your pic last week, I was surprised. It looks very metal or spooky, even to me. But it is undeniably different and leaves an impression. Your broadjam pic with the the Dr. Eternal tattoo is very cool as well, but it has been my experience here that anything that deviates very far from the "norm, " is generally labeled as lessening your odds of success. The bio is great to me as well, but what do I know? I listen to music.I like your picture. It's mysterious.steve

I think its cool for promotion, but you should have someplace that contains the serious info... years in music, credits, influences... Just a thought...ArkJack

Dr. E-I agree that your bio should be be more "normal" if you're trying to land mainstream gigs, but it's clear that you wish to be known as a unique composer, not one of the crowd.I think your music is brilliant, no matter what's written on your forehead.Andre

Thanks all for your comments. I agree I need to incorporate more concrete details into it, which I will, so long as I can maintain the mood. From what I've seen, there are a LOT of people writing and producing conventional music, and if that works for them, cool, but even when I shoot for convention, I end up in left-field so I'm fine with it. I have no problem with companies type-casting my music (look what that did for Danny Elfman!).Cheers,Dr.E

Your music is exotic and moody and your bio reflects that to me.Those of us that are film composers are really in the film business more than in the music business (IMO) and your bio and image may be very appealing to that audience. Looking forward to hearing more of your music.Mazz
