As an already very experienced session musician, Chris has lots of great advice for anyone looking to break into this line of work.

“Be the very best you can be – it is luck that will get you in the door but only by being good, will you get repeat work, and that’s how you’ll make a living. Being personable, friendly, technically minded and positive are just some aspects of what it takes to be successful as a session musician. Things will get difficult at points, but with persistence and a positive attitude there will be pay-offs.”
