Click on the sign-up link in the menu on the right-hand side to begin the process of creating your own profile.
The first choice you'll need to make is which type of account to create. The three types of accounts are MUSICIAN, BAND, and INDUSTRY. For individual musicians looking to join a band, select the musician option. If you are a band looking to fill a position, go with the band option. If you are an industry professional such as sound engineers, photographers, songwriters, etc., go with an industry listing.
After deciding which type of account works best for you, we'll need your basic contact info and general location by zip or postal code depending on where you live. Keep in mind, we don't have or share your exact location for privacy reasons.
In the next step, you'll have the option to edit your name and screen name. You will also want to define gender, birthdate, whether you are a studio musician or not, how many years you have been playing and the level of commitment you are willing to take on currently. All of these selections are used to help better match you with the right musicians in your area, so take time to answer them.
Selecting instruments played comes next, but more than that, we need to know what experience level for each one. Many musicians play more than one instrument so it's important to rank experience level 1-5 honestly so we can better match you with the right musicians. In this step, you may also select up to four genres.
The next step is optional but take your time to consider currently seeking information. Are there specific instruments you are looking for? Are you looking to join a band? Select those in this step.
Tell members a little bit about yourself in the description section, listing influences and equipment you own. In this step you will also find questions on experience and when you are most available for practice and gigs.
It's almost time to publish your profile, but before you do, add a profile picture! Some stock images are available for quick selection. However, nothing beats a good shot of you.
Your profile is now ready to be published! The system will send you a confirmation e-mail. Click on the activation link in this e-mail and follow the steps to complete your profile.
The final step will ask which type of membership you prefer. Go with FREE or select from one of our Premier Membership options.
Don't forget, all of these options can be changed or added to once in your account area. Add music, videos and any extra information maybe you did not have time for during initial registration. Your BandMix profile serves as your resume online so make it great!
