Rocking with Thor Osbourne

IN THE BALL OF THE ROCK OF THOR OSBOURNE

Rock was born in the United States in the early 1950s, derived from the mix of rhythms such as blues, country, Rhythm and Blues (R&B) and gospel, consolidating itself as a fast, dancing style and symbol of youth. Pioneers such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe and Chuck Berry laid the foundations, while Elvis Presley popularized the genre.

In Second Life, the music is well-acting as the greatest provider of fun for players, the rock style is well-acting and has many representatives performing in the various clubs. In this issue we'll be meeting one of these representatives, Thor Osbourne...

In mid-2020 to 2021 in the pandemic I started to attend more of the SL despite being in it since 2009, but I started to receive invitations from live music parties for the news of an international SL group called Live Music, once walking through the gringas islands I saw a singer called Gabriel da Silva and then I saw that I was singing live, I had never seen it in Second Life and looking at his profile I saw this group and I joined it was a free group and from there I started to know that there was live music on SL because this group sends news from several shows per hour that are rolling in real time on SL.

Seeing several live singers, I saw that there were some that were very good, this Portuguese Gabriel da Silva, also another great international singer named Max Cleine, but I also saw that there were some more intermediaries, between the good and the middlemen I saw that I fit in well, I didn't think I was so good, but as in the past at the height of my youth I had already had band and sang in the night in real life I decided to risk singing at SL and so in mid September 2022 after having researched the market of clubs and singers in SL I decided to enter.

It's three and a half years of SL singing career, from September 2022 to now.

Three birthdays from SL the famous SLB, American Cancer Society campaigns in pro for the reversal of lindens to dollars to help people with Cancer, SL Inventors and creators' Fair, Campaign against Hunger in Africa where the lindens are converted into dollars for food aid from some people located in the most needy parts of Africa, Rock in SL which is the Rock in Rio of the SL, AISM which is a entrepreneurship fair in the SL, annual Christmas Fair of the SL, among others that I am always invited, spoke in charity I am in without seeing !

Large, warm and spaced for everyone be singers, DJs, Promoters and hosts.

It has room for everyone and also for all styles, just open your mouth, put your product be DJ, singer, hosts, promote in the showcase and start working, have plenty of space just have will and face, everything at first may not be so profitable, but with the time and confidence of the manangers and island owners things improve and become interesting also financially.

Yes, it's worth it, it's gratifying to do what you like to do.

Because everything we like to do is good, I love music and singing is a therapy for me, and when it generates a not only financial return that is already very good, but also of recognition and admiration of everyone, it becomes more pleasant, and you end up perfecting yourself and always wanting to improve more and more and seek more and more to be well, and the financial return as I quoted above is very good.

there is room for everyone, without seeking to focus on running with someone, but rather on doing my job and respect the individuality and style of each singer, as for clubs there is no competition there are preferences of owners and Manangers hire singers with styles that please you most and be more the face, culture and follow of Venue.

At first, you get opportunities to perform, when you're starting everyone looks a little suspicious and the lack of audience because you're not yet known, but after this phase everything goes well, then it's just a matter of managing well.

Public Br is closer to traditional music in Brazil, funk carioca, pagode, sertanejo so it is kind of complicated to enter this market singing Rock , but then when the rock crowd gets to know you a little more things start to walk better, because the Brazilian public is warmer and more welcoming.

The gringo audience is already a little farther and colder, not all, but the positive side of them is that they already have a more rock and live music culture so it's easier to insert singing in the middle of them, however most of the rock and live music audience is international.

Yes the market is more open to new singers, and is emerging many more interesting people singing and with a more humble head and more foot on the ground without the illusion that many sell that just singing in SL you will become a millionaire, the SL clubs pay well singers but you also have to return to them a good job, with sympathy, dignity and professionalism, so the spaces have always been open to everyone.

Every beginning is complicated but don't give up if in your heart there is the will to make music in SL, don't worry about financial returns and public recognition, because this happens naturally as you go on performing more and more and not giving up!

Believe me, everyone is capable of me being you, too, we have our individualities and differences, but I'm no better than anyone, so if I've got you guys, be persevering.
