Alone, but Not Unheard
You’ve felt it—the lonely ache of playing your instrument alone at home, the excruciating longing to create something real, and the dream of finding others who feel music the way you do. You want to be heard, to connect, to share your sound with the world. You’re not alone in this.
My name is Andrew and I have felt the same way.
My journey began like many musicians—I’d spend hours in my room learning my favorite songs on electric guitar, dreaming of playing in a band and finding a sense of belonging in the music world. I was obsessed with understanding how my favorite bands created incredible songs and built careers in music. But as much as I loved playing, two nagging questions kept echoing in my mind:“Am I actually good at this?”and “Will anyone like what I have to share?”
It wasn’t hard to find a guitar teacher to help me master the basics, but when it came to transitioning from player to performer, I was on my own. How do I write a good song? How do I record my music? How do I book a show? I craved guidance, community, and a clear path forward—but instead, I felt overwhelmed and unsure of my next steps.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve followed this journey relentlessly. I’ve performed in cities like Washington D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, recorded and released my own music on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and coached students to play multiple instruments and perform in bands. Along the way, I’ve built incredible friendships and learned firsthand how to navigate the challenges of becoming a musician.
I’ve met so many musicians like you—passionate and talented individuals who want to perform, create, and share their music but feel stuck. Maybe you’ve learned how to play instrument but don’t know how to transition to performing. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by the idea of recording your music or defining your unique artist identity. Or maybe you just don’t have the time to spend years figuring it all out on your own.
Strums to Stage isn’t just about skills—it’s about creating a supportive network of like-minded musicians who share your dreams and challenges. You don’t have to navigate this alone. If this resonates with you, I have a solution. Let’s turn your passion into progress and help you take the stage with confidence.
