Humming in Public Landing Me a Job!

I currently sing background vocals for a local pop band. I really enjoy it and all the members of the band are friends. I sort of feel like they are my family. Six months ago, I never would have guessed I would be where I am.  I met the band leader by accident when I was browsing in a music store, I have a have a habit of humming, and the band leader heard me and asked, are you learning to sing backup vocals? I thought he was joking, since at the time, I did not sing in a band. We talked for a long time and he asked me to audition because he needed a backup singer, the rest, as they say is history.
