You really, really should list your phone on there.
Where are you getting it printed?

I'd change up some of the fonts and add a phone number. |

Phone number will be on there. I'll reupload some and put a fake number because I'd rather not have you crazies on TalkBass calling me up.

What kind of fonts are you talking about?
I will center it and probably remove the parentheses.

I will center it and probably remove the parentheses. | I guess I was talking about font size. IMO, the more important a piece of info is, the bigger is should be. Your name is the most important thing and should be the biggest. The "upright/electic" part is the second most important, followed by "styles" and "vocals". I feel it allows the eyes to see things in priority.
Your contact info is also very important but is traditionally "small" in font size...and maybe justified to the left or right. |

I see. I'm just trying to think of how small the business card will be and I don't want anything to be unreadable, least of all my contact info.
I get your organization, and I'll try that real quick.

ElGecko - Great advice! I like the justified contact info, it definitely helps the clutter look go away.

| | | Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness
of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark... 
That's bone. And the lettering is something called
Silian Rail. |
