We discussed choosing an artist identity and an artist name. We discussed preparation for live show performances and booking gigs. We looked at tips to create content on social media platforms and use collaboration as a means of promoting yourself.

We looked at creating album artwork with Stable Diffusion. If you want to go further in learning to create art with artificial intelligence using Stable Diffusion, I offer a full course on the subject at https://www.chestersky.com/stable-diffusion-masterclass/.
