I am a singer/ songwriter for my band DARK ROOTS Ive been writing and singing since I was a kid but only since 2015 have I been singing in a band. We play out on average 2 times a week. DARK ROOTS Members: Johnny STRAWS - Singer/ Songwriter Barry Weymouth - Guitar Brian Bick - Bass Jocco Joaquin - Drums
Music is my outlet, if not for miserable women in my life I would have nothing to write and sing about. Giving someone 3-4 minutes of happiness is worth exposing myself.
To keep on performing and to hopefully sell a song or two someday.
HA!....Horrible question....no matter how hard you try to change the world there will always be the pathetic, weak bad-guys who make this world difficult to live in sometimes....Take care of you and yours and try and make your existence happy.

Life
That nobody is alone in this life we all got our problems and if you can listen to a song a relate with it on any level the pain seems to dissipate for a little while.
I feel good, I slip into a trance and it's like I am either in someone elses shell or like something is inside me nonetheless it's a great feeling.
Well as far as mainstream a lot of it sucks plain and simple....very cookie cutter.....Stay true to yourself you don't need to get signed by a label or make a million friggin dollars....Listen I'd be happy just being comfortable definitely don't want to be tethered to the corporations.
I love it....I think it is a lot better than most Music Social Media sites...People take the time to listen and comment on your music of course there is incentive in doing so but is that a bad thing? I think not. Right on! You guys are awesome and thank you for all you do for people like myself.
Getting gigs and Marketing....both are a full-time job in itself don't get me wrong I love it but it is frustrating at times.
When we have time yes definitely.....We go to local shows as a band (I call it Field-Trips) it's a way of getting your face out there and supporting the local bands as well as the venues.
Personality, in person and online......
