I'm a singer, a musician, in a band, a DJ, a producer...how can Steemit help progress my passion?
This community is all about bringing people together and helping each other up! It's precisely embodied in this group geared to the Music Community!
Have you found it difficult to get your music, band, etc noticed here on Steemit? Have you been looking for a way to easily find and interact with other musicians on here? If so...this is for YOU!!
Q: So what exactly is Steemit Local Music Society?
The Steemit Local Music Society is a group that was put together by the famous @jessamynorchard to help bring together everybody in, or wanting to be a part of the music community here. While it easily runs hand in hand with the @music-trail curation group...this specifically focuses on making it easier for those in different roles (i.e. musician vs songwriter vs producer) in contact with those of similar experience or desire.
They provide a TON of different channels withing their Steemit Local Music Society Discord. So you can easily meet others that are vocalists, into hiphop, in bands, submitting to the most recent Weekly Open Mic Night contest ran by @luzcypher and more!
If you want to read a bit more on this, you can find their Announcement Post Here:

Q: How do I join?
This on is easy...just join their Discord by clicking HERE: https://discord.gg/Azeh6sx . I highly recommend putting a little something in their "Introduce yourself to the community" channel to let them know a bit about yourself as well as easily get noticed.
It's already jam packed with TONS of top notch Steemit musicians, producers, etc including:
@jessamynorchard
@soundlegion
@luzcypher
@harrisonmir
@Mattie.B-Leaver
and many many more!!
Hop on over there to meet some great people, get and give advice, find and show off your work...and so many more endless opportunities just by clicking:

Q: I'm new to Steemit but been into music for a long time. Can this help me?
ABSOLUTELY!! Sometimes it can be hard to find and get noticed by others on Steemit that are into the same things you are. Eventually we will have more formalized communities on here (like subreddits on Reddit) but this is a wonderful substitute until (and once) that happens.
Joining their Discord group lets you directly meet and talk with other Steemit Music oriented people both through text AND voice chat. You also are directly in front of people who honestly care about their own passions as well as helping others progress their own. Rather than being one post among huge lists of posts...hop in here to be easily connected to people that share your interests!!
Q: Will this group give me upvotes on my work?
The short answer is maybe, but it's not why they're here.
There are already music curators around Steemit who focus more on providing these upvotes. This group is more about the community itself, connecting people and helping each other outside of the money. So, while you may get some upvotes from people in this group, it's the wrong mind set to have when first joining there.
These are people who can help refine your craft, better market or get exposed to the Steemit community, provide technical advice and easily connect you with other passionate musicians.
Q: Can I share cool things I've found online here?
This really isn't the place for that. When you look through the #music tag here on Steemit there is a lot of this, making it somewhat hard to find the more original work created by our community members.
So while it may be acceptable to link something off the web that's not yours in a conversation...it's best to only link things that are by your or other Steemit users.
