Help writing an online bigraphy....

[SubLixx]

I like to think I'm good at making music/ songwriting.

When it comes to writing an online biography, I haven't got a clue where to start.

Any tips anyone?

Thanks

Tell your story: Your Roots, musical influences, describe your sound, list your accomplishments and upcoming projects:

Cool man, should I write in first peron or third person? I always think third person can sound a bit phony personally? Does it matter?

Put it in the 3rd person and put something in it that could potentially interest a journalist. By "interest" I mean - they can use it without thinking too much.

EG: Include things that are topical, or relate to "celebrities", or to current events. No-one will care if they are bollocks as long as they sell a story.

Imagine what goes on the front of magazines.
It's isn't :"this man makes a really good trance track, he says" ,
it's : "music you can get actually high on, say scientists!!11!!"

Journos want something that leaves the reader with no option but to buy/open the magazine/webpage.

so make their lives easy, give them a hook and they will use it.

@Sublixx:

3rd person. Write as if you were writing about someone else. Good luck.

you want to write in 3rd person so it sounds like you are so important that you don't need to write about yourself b/c someone else already has.

for my bio i did a cop-out- i went to wikipedia and copied the entry for DMT and replaced any mention of DMT with my name http://soundcloud.com/memes_33
