Was wondering if anyone had any insight on the following.
I’m a drummer that is hired via cruise ships that tours through Japan. We do our performances on the ship but get to stop at all the ports like Yokohama, Osaka, etc. When I was there the last time I had a great time enjoying the Japanese ports and culture. I’m rejoining this cruise line and will be around Japan for 7 months.
During my time out on sea I met a few entertainers who were American as well who did background singer gigs in Japan most of their life.
They knew little Japanese but seemed to thrive well over there and somehow through the connections they made they ended up permanently residing in Japan as entertainers!
How could I do the same thing only as a drummer? From what I heard they do like foreign entertainers and musicians and from what I understand it’s about who you know to get you started especially in music industry…
Any thoughts on a start? Music agencies with an online submission? Maybe just going out there and trying to network and doing open-mic??
Any thoughts, comments, suggestions would greatly be appreciated 🙂
