SOLO ARTISTS - HOW TO STAND OUT FROM THE PACK

There's only so much most solo artists can produce on stage with just themselves and their instrument. Even if you would like to perform with a band sometimes it's just not practical.

Whatever your reason, if you're looking for a way to stand out from the pack and produce a 'bigger' sound or one that's closer to your studio recordings think digital.

You can have a Dream team of musicians performing with you every night like US singer/songwriter Keller Williams who found an inspiring way to promote his music. Inspired by writing an ambitious wish list of artists he'd like to collaborate with in the studio he then decided to Dream big and the Dream which has now come true has turned this solo performer into a one man band who sells out shows across the USA with his innovative looping technique and digital band.

This 'Dream' which became the title of his latest and ninth studio album is literally a Dream come true for Keller who now performs live backed by his 'wish list' of artists.
