Music transcends time and culture, as well as connects communities of people. By developing a self brand, you can turn any passion into a career and a living. When you think of networking, you may think of a suit and tie event with small appetizers and people shoulder bumping their way towards a VP of a company to engage in a brief conversation that may lead to an interview, if you say the right things. Chris took a different and some people may say better approach to networking; he networked where he would share common interests with people, and that was at metal concerts. Instead of a suit in tie, he had his long hair and patches. By drinking beer instead of wine, he was able to create a network and following in an industry that he loved. What started as a hobby has made Chris a 10-year vet in the industry, with a large following to back him up. Remember, if you are true to yourself and develop a brand it's much easier to transition to anything you believe in as people will follow you.
