Do musicians and artists need websites too? Heck yes! Websites and facebook are excellent marketing tools to get the word out about the quality of focus of your artistry.

He uses his site to feature upcoming performances, and upcoming classes and workshops that he is teaching. He also uses his site to provide musical clips of his work to whet the appetite. And once you’ve heard some clips, you can find out where to buy his music.
He manages his own website, adding his events, clips and teaching tools himself using a custom-designed admin that we made for him.
Plus he’s using facebook to keep in touch with his fans.
