The amps on stage are warm. The PA system hums at a subtle level, a sure sign of aging from many nights running at ear thumping levels. The stage lights blaze brightly, the glare making the crowd at the local bar look like nothing more than shuffling dark silhouettes while looking out from backstage. This has been the weekend life for Jake Miller while playing in his first local band. The music, friendships, booze, and fights that go along with it are what local bands live for....
Follow along with this story and understand what the life of a local musician is really like. Most of the content will draw heavily from my own experiences over the years but name's have been changed for obvious reasons. Hope to provide a lot of insight into understanding why your local musicians are the way that they are if you're not familiar already. Enjoy!

Echo, Echo, Echo
⚠️ THERE WILL BE TRIGGERING THEMES SUCH AS SELF HARM, SUICIDE AND OVERDOSAGE, PLEASE ONLY READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!⚠️ Harsh words echo in the minds of those who are victim to their cruelty, just like adrenaline filled screams of achievement echo from the mountain tops. Echos cause a ripple effect when other people hear them, just like words and rumours do. Sometimes they're hard to ignore, and one can be tempted to say something back, to let someone else hear their echo, but, it's not always the right thing to do. Even echos have consequences. Those seemingly innocent shouts of triumph can be mistaken for something much, much darker. Just ask Rune Knight, he knows all about the repercussions of echos. (This is in the book cover) If only I could have you back for just a little while, then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to.Complete
Sing To My Heart
Note: They are humans instead of animals. Sorry to anyone who thought it would be like beastars or like we got teleported to their world. This is a reader insert and they are all human. Will include swears, triggering/disturbing tropics, might have some heated moments. Read at your discretion. I don't own any of the characters or songs used in the story. Any songs that I say belongs to the reader is just for the story. All rights to the songs and characters (expect y/n) go to the rightful owners. Also this story was inspired by @OneArtsyGamer03 ,please go check out her stories since they are amazing. This is my original story but there are some similarities to her's, so please go show her stories some love because she definitely deserves it. Runawaying from Redshore city wasn't my plan but I felt trapped in that city. You never could make it unless you had connections or were from a famous family and that's not how I wanted it to go. I love to sing and my best friend got me into dance. Now I love going with the flow and letting the music take over my body. I ran away from my home with nothing but my skateboard, guitar and a back full with anything I could shove inside of it. Now I live in a studio apartment, making my own songs with choreography for them and casually posting the audio of the song or the actual dance video on the internet because why not. I work at a skate shop to help pay my bills and to stay out of trouble with the police since I've gotten in trouble with them a couple of times for street performing without a license. But like my best friend used to say, "You're only in trouble if you get caught" and I never did, so now I just chat up with them to pass some time or to help someone. When I heard of a singing competition I thought it couldn't hurt. I mean I might be able to win a nice prize and get some more publicity for my music, which was more important to me then some cash prize but it would be nice.Complete

Every Second [COMPLETED]
"Honestly one of the best books I've read" - mywayforme "I'll take it from here," Sebastian said. "Ms. Dawson, I re-watched your interlude performance from Saturday and I was impressed with your drumming ability. I'm about to start work on my next album. I'm putting together a creative team to develop how the album will sound and I want to extend an invitation to you." Startled by the offer, Amelia's mind went blank. All words slipped from her brain, her thoughts becoming a jumbled mess pooled at her feet. "Ms. Dawson?" Sebastian prompted. Amelia blinked.
