Getting hired as a Session Musician is all about who you know…and who knows you. As Glasson says, most Session Musicians have their own bands and therefore know a lot of other artists. They’re hired through personal networks or by word of mouth.
If you’re still building your reputation as a Session Musician, there are a few things you can do.
You can create a website with examples of your work.
You can post ads online or at rehearsal studios offering your services.
You can connect with other musicians through online forums or social media.
You can get to know other musicians in your local scene.
All of these are ways Session Musicians get work!
