You\u2019ll probably have to send this information to a music industry contact, and so it could be very important to your act&#8217;s future. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great biography should offer the reader everything they might need or want to read about your act, in a clear format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, you should aim to have several versions of your bio, ready to go at any time. They should all be different lengths, and optimised for wherever they might be needed. In this blog, we offer you our top tips on how to write a great band biography&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"laptop and headphones on a desk - essential tools for writing your band biography\" class=\"wp-image-5145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-370x245.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-270x179.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-570x377.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-740x490.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/keyboard-338502_1280-570x377@2x.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Prepare different lengths<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chances are, you&#8217;ll need various different versions of your biography available, depending on the situation. For example, a magazine feature is going to need more information than your social media bio. Having three versions (a short, medium and full-length) will be a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A short biography that\u2019s around 100 to 150 words, with a brief summary of what your band is about. This will generally be for social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A medium-length biography of around 500 \u2013 600 words. Great for promoters, or for emailing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Full-length bio of 750 to 1000 words. Either to be placed in your EPK or on a dedicated page of your website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Start with a quote <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Structuring your biography is not easy and will, of course, vary depending on what sort of act you are. If you have any media coverage, or a great quote from another reputable artist, it is awesome way to begin your bio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"newspaper rack representing press quotes for a band biography\" class=\"wp-image-5144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-370x278.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-270x203.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-740x555.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-570x428@2x.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/news-1172463_1280-80x60@2x.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Use a paragraph for each subject<\/strong> <strong>matter<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a bit of a general rule, but try and have a different subject matter for each paragraph of your bio. For example: one on the history of the membership, one for notable previous gigs and venue, etc. Obviously, this will work best with your longer biography drafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Put yourself in the mindset of the reader<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking about what should go into your bio, it\u2019s important to put yourself in the place of the person who will be reading it. IE. try and think about what they would want to know about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a singer-songwriter, then your audience may well want a more personal bio &#8211; something that speaks a little to your life experiences and your influences, as well as your musical career. This will help to show a little of what goes into your songwriting process, and where your material comes from. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"musician working in a recording studio\" class=\"wp-image-3486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-740x493.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/studio-2677975_1280-570x380@2x.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a session player, then you might want to stick to a list some notable credits, like artists you have played with and studios you have worked in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a function band, you must think about potential clients and agents.

Formed in 2015, they&#8217;ve performed at over 300 weddings and corporate events across the UK, earning a reputation for reading the room and keeping dance floors packed from the first song to the last. Past highlights include headline sets at the O2 Indigo (private hire), performances for major brands including HSBC and Google, and a five-star review feature in <strong>Bride<\/strong> magazine. With a fully live band, professional PA and lighting rig, they offer a seamless performance tailored to your event from start to finish.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Notice how this bio covers the essential ingredients: the lineup, the location, the genre, notable credits, and a clear sense of what the client can expect. You can use this as a template and adapt it to suit your own act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"box white-h4\">Looking for an example of a great biography?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lastminutemusicians.com\/members\/platinum_strings.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Platinum Strings<\/a>&nbsp;are a function act, and their bio tells you everything you need to know about them!<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have you written your acts biography?
