3. your artist bio

AN ARTIST BIO SHOULD INCLUDE:

WHAT: 1. Your main instrument 2. List your 3 best musical skills (e.g. vocal range,

WHERE & WHEN: A list of performances with photos or recordings if possible

WHO: Other artists you have performed with

WHY: 1. Why you perform 2. Who inspires you (influences & favourite music styles)  3. Future ambitions (career - musical or not & what musical )

How to upload website links, photos, video & audio files (& emojis! 🤗 )

These four icon buttons allow you to add weblinks, pictures, videos and emojis! 

When you add:  

• weblinks - tick the box to open the link in a new page so the reader can still view your blog at the same time
• pictures - add a caption with the web address to show where it's from (use smallest size font)
• videos - you can link directly from Youtube or upload from a phone or computer
• audio files - see below

Audio files cannot be directly uploaded, as Blogger does not have an MP3 player. Instead, you can include audio recordings link to a website (1) or to a storage cloud (2)

Method 1. Play from a music website (e.g. Soundcloud, etc)

Simply paste the html link into Create/Edit URL or into Insert Video

Method 2. Link directly to file from an online Cloud 

First, upload your MP3 files on an audio hosting service like Google Drive, Dropbox etc... because you can't upload and save audio files on Blogger directly.

Then put it into post's HTML editor not the text editor. 

** Make sure you copy the link to the file itself (from 'right click' menu) and not the web address for the audio player page that opens when you click on the file**
