I'M A SAX PLAYER AND I VERY MUCH WANT TO PLAY WITH PRINCE!
DOES SOMEONE KNOW WHEN AND WHERE PRINCE HOLDS AUDITIONS FOR NEW MUSICIANS FOR HIS BAND? I HAVE LOTS OF EXPERIENCE AND TALENT, I CAN READ SHEET MUSIC AND I'VE GOT THE LOOK. ALL I NEED TO KNOW IS HOW I CAN HOOK UP WITH PRINCE! DO I NEED TO GO TO PAISELY PARK, OR DOES HE HOLD AUDTIONS IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, PEACE AND BE WILD!!

Bill! U got talent? I'm shocked!

I don't have the info U need but I wish u all the best.

Dude, this area is for musicians on the org...
You are a ing DJ. DJs are posers who play records for other posers in bars...
DJs aren't musicians.
They may "play" music, but they don't create it.

I, on the hand, am up there with the greats, like najee!

eye'm a professional dancer can eye post in this motha? lol... my body is my instrument!

No problem...Just call this number...1-555-In-your-dreams

Do your own shit, or join a good band and play hard...Dreams are essential to making it, but you gotta work for it my friend. If you are really good, perhaps he will see you one day and like your stuff.

Pfff!! "I, on the hand, am up there with the greats, like najee!" - yeah? Well, if that's the case, you should have been notice by Prince already. If you are that good, why are you trying to enlist the help of orgers?! I can see your future already - you ain't gonna make it!

DJEmale may be a DJ but hes out there helping us unsigned artists. Respect where its more than due.

Prince doesnt hold auditions anymore really. The band hes using at the moment are all seasoned session professionals who have been with many other famous artists before Prince.

Its the same in the session industry the world over, its all about the foot in the door. My best advice is to get yourself to Berklee music college, a lot of Prince's current band were discovered & trained there.

No doubt it would be cool, but I am doing my own thing. However, if Prince asked me to join his funk army, I would be very happy to accept.

U cant play no damn saxophone. This place is 4 Musikans, DJ's and peeps of all kinds and Prince would'nt take yo plain behind in his band anyway

Im mad at u 4 what u said 2 me last time. And it looks like there are others here with us that dont appreciate u very much either

There used to be a time when Prince would hire local Minneapolis musicians or musicians who had no experience except for high school gigs to play in his band. Wendy was only 18 when she got the gig as a guitarist for Prince. Brownmark was 18 when he got the job as bass player. Prince also would put his friends who weren't musicians in his bands, like Greg, Wally, and Jerome.
