I'm a perfectionist... So to me, if I had my way, a song is never perfect, never finished.

I don't know a lot about New Zealand except that it is beautiful! All of my friends in bands who have toured there have said great things about it so I hope I can go perform there soon!

Keep up with social media. Twitter and Facebook are both great ways to get your music out, especially internationally.

If they ask you to sign a contract up front or for money, that's usually a bad sign.

Write your own music and write frequently. Go to as many live shows as you can as well (of bands you enjoy of course). You can learn a lot watching other performers.

Don't take life too seriously! Learn to enjoy yourself and be grateful for all you have.
