Dougie Jones
Story
Until recently, I was just another hobbyist musician/songwriter. But thanks to COVID, I lost my lucrative job as a carpet salesman in June of 2020, and decided that this was a sign that I should pursue music as a fulltime career. I'm currently working on my first album, a concept album, that I expect to be ready to release in the spring of 2021. I hope it does well. I really could use the money.
