Creative Portfolio

There is no preconceived format for the portfolio. We are curious about your passions and accomplishments. It’s not a matter of how much you’ve done, it’s about how you manifest your passion for music and communicate that passion.

Your portfolio may contain the following types of items:

• Songs or videos you have written, recorded, engineered, produced, or played on

• Links to your public web presence - Soundcloud, Bandcamp, a Blog, etc.

• Materials/media promoting events you may have produced or been a part of (posters, programs, photos, press kit, etc.)

• Your creative/professional resume
