RE: 🎶 Attention Musicians And Music Lovers - Help Welcome The Brilliant Musician Ben Lee To The Platform! 🎶
That's a great bio/recap of Ben! Thanks for sharing. I've already chatted with Ben (not knowing he was THAT Ben Lee) and he's quite an interesting, smart, creative and funny guy besides his amazing musical abilities.
My only problem is it's hard enough for me to get votes when I post my songs on the open-mic contest without having award-winning artists like Ben on board - I was going to submit a cover of Rush's "Closer to the Heart" this coming week. What if Geddy Lee posts it too - then I'll get no votes.
Just kidding about my whining - It's great to have Ben abord!!! PS - Could Geddy & Ben be brother's from another mother?
Hey mate thanks for that, he really seems like an amazing dude and I'm stoked he is here.
As for the Open Mic stuff, the openmic account was down for a day or so - but all valid entries get supported by it, sometimes it takes a few days and if it's down there really isn't anything we can do about that besides manually voting on hundreds of entries and the team is well and truly stretched.
As I said in my post I believe wholeheartedly, that we already have countless entrants at Ben's level - so in my opinion your already up against people of insane talents.
The thing is not everyone can win, but everyone can have fun and enjoy and love and share the music - that is what were really about, were just trying to help as many musicians as we can and unfortunately with so many people miss out.
I know your just haven a joke but so you know, we get countless messages from people only entering Open Mic asking where their votes are - it takes hours to deal with them all and then there's the scammers, basically by us trying to support musicians we went and gave ourselves a whole lot more work to deal with.
Instead of entering Open Mic to win, enter it to share music, find other talented musicians who's music you want to hear, learn new skills, have a reason to practise regularly, experiment with new styles - its about engagement to me, that is the real gold on offer.
Anyways I get rambly, I just want you to know - all open mic judges listen to every single valid entry featured in @luzcypher's see who played post's, we may not be able to comment on all 300+ every week - but we watch them all :D
I hope to keep seeing you with us, good luck :D
