Dark ish type music for busking?
I'm a somewhat established artist, with multiple albums out, a decent little fanbase. I make a decent bit of money from my music, buuut not enough to get by. I have recently had an issue with neighbors and rehearsing, and it dawned on me -- holy shit my area doesn't require a permit for busking, has very heavy foot traffic, lots of buskers, and I could use some extra money.
Most of my music is dark, and introspective sounding music -- which from what I've heard I feel is like the antithesis of busking hah -- as most people tend to do covers, or some form of like positive music that "brings people together." It's not aggressive music, it's just dark -- lots of minor keys etc. I don't know if it's allowed, but if you're curious, look up Samtar on spotify, or youtube, to understand better what I mean.
So, I'm wondering if people would even enjoy me busking on the street? Obviously not everyone -- but is it even "worth it," beyond just using it as rehearsal in my case? People do tend to like my singing quite a bit, if that helps, regardless of if they like my genre. Pretty good at looping too, so I figure, bust out the ol looper, play around and just rehearse my songs on a corner and hope for the best.
Any input would be wildly appreciated. Thank you kindly.
