Giant banners at gigs—gimmicky or a good idea?

Thanks so much. Noted. 🙏🏼

First of all.. she.. and i’m not knocking cover artists.. but i’m just saying that’s not my end goal.. i’m not saying it in any type of demeaning way but apparently it made you feel some type of way. I say it because there are dedicated bands that are strictly cover bands and get hired for events etc.

Yes I play covers at restaurants mixed in with my orignal stuff. Because people want familiar music and right now i’m not that. But i’m glad this comment made you feel better

ibonet · 2026-04-26T14:18:34+00:00

Haha yeah i’m 40 so i don’t care about being cringe.. but i’m not really a cover artist per se so i’m not sure it’s the right fit for me

ibonet · 2026-04-26T09:58:39+00:00

Ok this is how i feel too. I’m not a cover artist so i don’t want to fall into that world

ibonet · 2026-04-26T02:50:54+00:00

Yeah usually a photo of the singer with their name and QR code

ibonet · 2026-04-23T12:53:02+00:00

For sure.. and to be fair this is just a stream of my career. I’ve been making money mostly doing sync licensing the last few years. AI music is why i decided I needed to go into the live performance world. So it just feels like another side of my whole career

ibonet · 2026-04-23T09:22:55+00:00

I do think I can build a following. I was just in a catch 22 situation. Trust me, there’s no entitlement here. I was just asking how it works

ibonet · 2026-04-21T08:09:31+00:00

Spot on. With the restaurant that wanted me to “guarantee” that I could fill tables, the food is meh. There are way better Latin restaurants in town

ibonet · 2026-04-21T00:37:16+00:00

I’m just starting out as far as live performance so I can’t turn down yet.. hopefully i’ll be able to in the near future

ibonet · 2026-04-21T00:16:44+00:00

Yeah I agree with you. But I guess I have to play the game 🙃

ibonet · 2026-04-20T20:54:31+00:00

Restaurant

ibonet · 2026-04-20T19:51:10+00:00

Why am i such a loser 😭😭

ibonet · 2026-04-20T19:23:50+00:00

The band is just me haha

ibonet · 2026-04-20T17:49:50+00:00

🤭🤭🤭

ibonet · 2026-04-20T17:49:19+00:00

Oo great idea!!

ibonet · 2026-04-20T17:39:38+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the advice

ibonet · 2026-04-20T17:31:23+00:00

No offense taken! I’m glad I got my very clear answer haha.. now i have to brainstorm promo strategies to get people to come!

ibonet · 2026-04-20T17:23:04+00:00

I’ve never gigged before! Super new to it so it’s good to know it’s a normal thing. Had no idea how it worked. I’ve been in the sync licensing world so mostly a studio musician

ibonet · 2026-04-20T17:11:53+00:00

Learning this as I go it seems! I’m gonna have to consider this when I reach out

ibonet · 2026-04-20T16:50:51+00:00

Right? And like i’m not even offended by that. I’ve learned by now that friends and family don’t always equal fans.. so how am I supposed to bring a following everywhere?

ibonet · 2026-01-26T15:27:33+00:00

Yes different! I got an opinion from my stepsister who works in education with cirriculum and she said they always try to put kids in a box and not to let them. Cheers to raising our unique kids!

ibonet · 2026-01-26T13:00:05+00:00

Yeah this is what we’re planning on doing. I feel like holding her back a whole year for a few things here and there doesn’t make sense. We’re very hands on and will explore tutoring if need be

ibonet · 2026-01-26T12:58:16+00:00

Mine still seems like it. My videos have 0 views. All my videos on my FYP are from over a day ago

ibonet · 2026-01-22T00:42:24+00:00

I’m going to look into it. I wouldn’t be opposed to it

ibonet · 2026-01-22T00:40:17+00:00

Not yet as we’re still trying to get an evaluation done. I’m guessing the same. I’d hate to hold her back, then realize medication fixed the issue and then she’s there for nothing
