Music in Second Life© is a must and what better way than to un-wind down a busy day or week by either going to a club to listen to a DJ or by going to a live event to listen to a performer sing and perform. However, have you ever wanted to know more about the artist behind the mic to find out how they became a performer and how you can begin performing in Second life, if this is a dream of yours?

Hi Joaquin
Joaquin:
Hello
Tea
Tea:
How did you get into the sl music industry? How do the fans support you or help
artists such as yourself in sl?
Joaquin
:
I was working recording arrangers for a
singer on my computer when I started. When people asked me to turn on the voice
I didn’t talk, only used my guitar on the SL voice. They asked me to play and
after that they taught me to use the search and I contacted Slim Warrion. She
bought me an SL guitar and gave me stream instructions, and a gig. After that, more people asked me to perform. I have been playing in Second Life since 2007.
Tea:
How has the industry in Second Life changed from when you first started out?
Joaquin: I don’t
notice big changes, music works the same way, the only change probably is that there
are nice albums that can be sold due to the SL technology advancement.
Tea:
What do you do in sl when you’re not busy working?
Joaquin: I
am very busy in the music industry which can involve me performing 6 concerts a
day.
Tea:
What tips would you give for any artist wanting to break the sl music industry?
Joaquin: Try
performing at different time zone as much you can and use a webcam sometimes. I
feel it works well for me and enhances my performance.
Tea:
What do you enjoy about performing in SL?
Joaquin:
Performing is my real life job so I enjoy all of it, but one good thing about
performing in SL is that I don’t need to carry all my stuff home after working.
*smile*
Tea:
What are your plans in sl for the rest
of 2013?
Joaquin: To
keep playing and performing in sl, to provide more webcam concerts, more duets and more streaming video of my real concerts. I am hoping to
work on a new Christmas album if time allows me. I am looking forward to that.
Tea:
Thank you Joaquin and good luck on the future projects
