In episode 40, publicist Alex Steininger, mentioned that he gives an artist/band a list of questions in order to help draw out story lines and themes. Below are a few of those questions. Take your time and answer each in great detail. When you’re done, there should be some obvious themes and story lines that will make a much more effective bio.

Why did you choose it?
-Can you list each song and tell me about the meaning behind each song?
-How was making this record similar to making your last record? Â How was
it different?
-What new experiences did you encounter making this record?

ultimately, fans?
