Ready to go from bedroom performances to real-world stages? In this episode, Tzayla pulls back the curtain on exactly how she booked her first shows—without a manager, a label, or a clue. Learn how to craft a killer set list, build an EPK that gets you noticed, and actually land paying gigs. Whether you're a total beginner or looking to level up your live show game, this episode is your no-nonsense guide to making it happen.
Key Takeaways:
- Set Lists Matter: Have 2–3 versions ready for different crowds (bars, coffee shops, etc). Mix covers and originals.
- Covers Connect: Play songs people know—Dolly, Taylor, Beatles—then sneak in your originals.
- Practice Smart: Rotate 5–7 songs daily, rehearse full sets, and memorize lyrics when you can.
- Build an EPK: Include a bio, videos, song list, and contact info—all on one easy page.
- Book Gigs Boldly: Show up in person, start small, follow up, and talk to other musicians.
- Don’t Wait: You don’t need permission—just start. Play the open mic. Send the email. Post the clip.
