TRY THE TWO-QUESTIONFind musicians to collaborate with - it sounds easy, but it can be a long and difficult task. When you start a band or join a band, you will be forgiven for thinking that it’s almost impossible to find musicians with the right attitude, the right ability, the right gear, the right age, the right availability in the right genre - all in the right place!
Sourcing musicians for your studio recording can be just as difficult. To achieve a pro recording you have to make a band work - you need the right band mix. Countless sessions have not achieved their full potential simply because members of the band wanted different things - musicians wanted their own vision fulfilled.
Of course, when you’re looking for a band it’s hard enough to find a band, but bands looking for you are having the same problems!

Detroit is probably most famous for Motown, a record label which produced several hit records and made household name out of many of the artists signed to the label. R&B and Soul music was already well established in Detroit when Motown was formed in 1960, the following 20 years was a period of huge success. The music produced by Motown played a big part in helping racial harmony, maybe an unintentional side effect, but the music performed by black artists, R&B and Soul with Pop overtones, was very popular with white audiences of the day helping create a crossover success that has never been matched since.
There have been many successful groups to come out of Detroit in both Pop and Rock from the 60’s onwards. The Pop and Rock fraternity continually updating and reinventing itself and always at the forefront of the music scene on a National Front.

Live music is still as important to Detroit as it has always been, however some prominent local industry personnel believe that the City is missing a ‘trick’ in not having an area of the City that is synonymous with music in the same way other US Cities have for example Beale Street in Memphis, Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Times Square in New York or The Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. This can be argued as a good or bad point but the proof is quite evident that the whole City of Detroit is a Music City, the history and the present output speaks for itself.
