A good quality photograph
As your profile picture is the first thing potential clients see when coming across your page, it needs to be eye-catching and informative. Perhaps a close up photo from a performance or a picture with your instrument. It’s an opportunity to show a true representation of you and your craft (landscape fits best).
A bold headline
Sum up your work in a snappy one-liner. You in a nutshell. Make sure to state everything you do!
Description
This is a great opportunity for you to showcase your achievements and aspirations. Keep it concise, informative and in third person! Some important things to include when writing your bio are:

Attributes: What factors make you good at what you do?
Accomplishments: What professional and personal goals have you reached? Have you received awards or glowing reviews?
Aspirations: What are you looking to achieve for in your career as musician?
Credentials: If applicable, where did you train? Where or whom have you previously worked for? Show off!
Press
Reviews provide excellent weight to your description and are a great references for future bookers. We recommend providing a short quote along with the name of the publication or reviewer.
Video Clip
So that any one who comes across your profile gets an immediate feel for your music and craft, provide a video that showcases your talents in a live performance setting. One Youtube or Vimeo URL per line.
Contact information and social media links.
