Inside The Music - my vlog about all things relating to my multi-faceted music career and my life in general. April 14, 2024 In this video, I cover the questions I get asked the most about my life as a cruise ship musician: "how much do you make?" I also discuss the different job options for musicians onboard ships. I go into the responsibilities, salaries, and perks of Lounge Musicians, Party Bands, Pit Orchestra, Production Cast, Guest Entertainers and everything in between. If you would like to get more access to me and my band and get more content, please consider supporting the channel on Patreon. Some perks include exclusive content, gig reports (an honest, uncensored, and sometimes brutal take on the gigs we play), merch, VIP status at gigs, and so much more!
