would you rather have a solo career or front a band?

I'd definitely love to front a band 'coz I think it's more fun to be with other people when you perform onstage. On the other hand, when you go solo, the audience's attention is only on you and there would be nobody to have a fight with. Plus you won't have to take long looking for band members with chops. Either way, I hope it's not too late for a singing career for me.

Defo front of a band, the thought of every single person in a crowd just staring at me makes my stomach churn, i could never do it, atleast when there are other people on stage with you its not just up to you to supply the crows with entertainment worth the moeny they spent.

I would like to have a solo career instead of being part of a band . You can notice that all popular singers known today are mostly solo singers like Eminem , Jay-Z etc . You can do almost anything now a days being a solo singer . Like perform live shows and all . If you are in a band and song goes hit , then the credit goes to all the members . But if you are a solo singer . The credit fully belongs to you . If you want to earn money and want to become famous , then solo singing is the best way . Happy mylotting and have a nice day !

If I were to choose I think I would go solo. I was with an amateur band befoe. It's not that I don't like band I even enjoy that. The problem however mostly arise when there is a clash of personality. If you will become a commercial band and began composing songs, then this is the real challenge since members of the band often disagree regarding the composition. Some problems arises when one of the band members will not attend your rehearsals because of some reason. To summarize it all, band is a single unit with multiple members. It means that you should work as a team. Now the problem here is that there are tendency that one of the member is not a good team worker and a liability to the band. But you can however say that you can always change that member anytime but then again it will take a lot of the band's time to audition for a new member. Unlike solo artist, you all have the time to put your creativity into works without the hassle of waiting for other member or waiting for their approval.
