Advice
First point: I guess you are the same person as user Adrian Starblanket (talk) from 2010. That's OK, but please choose one of those accounts and stick to it - if you use both, it might be considered "sockpuppetry".
If you have read WP:AUTO and WP:NAY but would still like to go ahead, what you should do is:
- Read WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest
- Read WP:MUSICBIO - that is the notability standard you need to establish by means of references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
- Make a draft article in your user space, by clicking on Help:Userspace draft. Fill in the title of your article, and that will set up a draft page with a link to useful advice and a "Submit" button to send it to WP:Articles for creation, when other users will look at it and either accept it or give you feedback.
- Be careful not to write in a promotional style. If you try to "sell" yourself, it's likely to be deleted. An encyclopedia article is a different sort of thing from a Myspace page - it should have no glowing adjectives, no opinions, just plain facts, neutrally stated and backed up by reliable sources.
