Directions
1. Start off strong with an intriguing opening paragraph.
Venues and bookers are very busy, so they probably will not read your entire bio. It is important to start strong and grab the reader's interest. Introduce all of the band members and begin describing your sound immediately.
2. Turn the bio into a compelling story.
Tell a story about your band. Make it something unique, funny, or memorable. Use fun and descriptive words to describe your music and bandmates.
3. Limit the biography to no more than a page in length.
Your band bio should be brief and well-written. No more than a couple paragraphs and definitely not more than a page.
4. Include all press mentions and highlights.
You definitely want to highlight all of your greatest successes in your bio. Include any important blog or site mentions, awards, album releases, and notable performances.
5. Proofread for spelling and grammar errors and have someone else double check it.
Read through and edit your bio before sending it anywhere. Take out unnecessary sentenecs and check all spelling and grammar. Pass it over to a friend who is great with words and writing to double check it for you.
6. Update the bio regularly as new things happen.
As you move on and achieve more accomplishments, add or lose band members, or anything else you need to remember to update your bio accordingly. Remove outdated news whenever you add a more recent bit of information.
