Warmup for piano-vocals My routine for waking up. Plus a coffee :) Humming is really good fir clearing the voice & head voice to prepare for singing. Check out my simple routine.. . . Do you have a routine to get you out of your zombified state in the mornings? Does it involve coffee? :) . . .#vocals #piano #singing #vocalwarmup #redeyezack https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Jt9ROBKL1/?igshid=1va4txc0ycmy9

Had a wonderful local Gig Friday night at The Yard in Reigate. Thanks for those of you that came down. It was my 1st solo support slot for a long time but motivated me to rehearse a full 50-minute set. I've also been in the studio experimenting on a band sound. I decided on guitars & keyboards for this track. What bands or artists do you think it sounds like? #flyingfree_redeyezack #flyingfree #originalsong #recordingstudio #redeyezack_lyrics Lyrics Wrapped in chains I celebrate  Another sun or a wedding day  Whispers in the moonlight  These dreams… they pave my way  Crystal clear out in the distant sand  There's a fire in the face of rage  I stand among my field of angels  I close my eyes and I turn the page  The eagle flies across the sunrise  The wind it blows across the sea  I don't know where I'm going  But I know I'm flying free  Ooh... holy water  It's falling from the skies  Ooh ooh... holy water  It's like tears from my eyes  Shower me with the face of beauty  Rescue me from my dying day  Release me from my throne of promise  (Won't you) steal me away from the beasts of prey  (Come on) Take me out of this darkness  How I thirst to see your loving face  I'm wishing, but not for madness  But I know it's the price that I have to pay  The eagle flies across the sunsets of my life  The wind it blows across the sea of tranquillity  I don't know where I'm going  But I know I'm flying free  Flying free, on the breeze  Flying free, this ain't no dream  This ain't no dream…  Shower me with the face of beauty... yeah... https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_3F2th-u8/?igshid=12eqo2wdj6xtg

Enjoy! . 7 seas of love Beneath 7 saffron skies The writer draws her pen And Shiva throws the dice of love 1 Book of colours And a flower from my English garden Come on dream with me See the child upon my shoulders (Ooh) Won’t you hold her?

Rehearsing for the Alma Street Fair. 1st thing in the morning is a good time for me as the voice is often relaxed and it gives me a few hours for my brain to get working! If I'm working on a song, I usually like to have 3-4 hours free ahead of me... it takes that undivided attention to develop a musical idea. . 🎧Click my profile link to Download FREE tracks🎸 .

MARKETING PLAN: This is my marketing plan for the next 2 weeks! Instagram & social media. I've made post categories and set a posting schedule. It helps to be organised & have a plan! I started doing E-marketing for venues & events in London in December and now looking to help other artists get their social media strategy together. I think the first step is to choose just 2 platforms to focus on. Instagram because you can reach your followers for free, unlike facebook where you need to boost posts to reach your own followers i.e. pay to reach your followers. And I need to rethink my YouTube channel. By far the best is to build your own fanbase using a free tool (less than 2000 emails) like MailChimp to collect email addresses for your mailing list. . . . #newmusic #musicianslife #musiciansofinstagram #guitarist @mapstudiocafe #kentishtown #marketingplan #emarketing #digitalstrategy #fanbase #mailinglist https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXc6c4hx42/?igshid=1dl2hnk5l9s45
