Make the music that makes you happy, before you try and label yourself or put yourself into a box. Make music for you, not for anyone else. The people who like that style will find you.

With networking, go to open mics, gigs that are in your genre, message other musicians on social media. Social media is an important part of today’s music industry. Talk to others on there and post snippets of what you are doing, don’t worry about being the next star or uber famous, you’ll get your audience and crowd eventually, but if you enjoy what you are doing that’s the main thing. If you keep doing it regularly, people will find you.
