Article is primarily autobiography, created by the article's subject (see WP:AUTO & WP:CONFLICT) and appears primarily to be for self-promotion (WP:PROMO WP:NPOV), e.g. first paragraph is mostly copy-paste from a non-neutral source of subject talking about himself. None of the listed sources are reliable neutral sources (WP:RS) and most are dead links. Given all that, and since I couldn't find non-trivial reliable sources for establishing notability, subject doesn't appear to meet criteria for WP:GNG & WP:BAND.

Delete - This article and its talk page were created by User:Sugalski (the musician's real surname) and he did both in a rush back in 2010 and has not contributed to WP since. On the talk page he listed 12 then-recent sources. Ten of those are now dead, one points to something else, and the sole survivor from a publication called Tunequest [1] is possibly reliable. Of the citations used in the current article, seven could be considered independent of the musician and all of them are dead too. I also found this: [2], which is possibly reliable but it's a friendly and non-critical media introduction that may be a copied PR release. I can find nothing else beyond the usual self-created social media and streaming sites. He's done a lot but with minimal notice from the reliable music media. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:08, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Your second source [3] is an artist management & booking agency, listing the musician as a current client elsewhere on the site. Confirms your suspicion this is simply a (paid) PR release. Goffman82 23:45, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Blatant advertising, especially with the evidence provided by Doomsdayer520. AdoTang (talk) 21:24, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
