Your performance video or work samples

PerformersRecord two videos of yourself performing in contrasting styles. “Contrasting” means genuinely different, not just different tempos within the same genre. Phone-recorded videos are fine; what matters is your playing. Aim for 2–3 minutes per video, recorded within the last six months.

Producers, writers, and other creatorsIf performing isn’t your focus, share two contrasting tracks, songs, or projects that show your range instead. The goal is the same either way. Show us what you can do.
