Don't go after big names, build your team with people who champion you. That will go a lot further than anything else

This is such great advice. I always say this to artists who go on about how saturated it is. We are actually quite lacking in GREAT music. I don’t think true talent and hard work is saturated at all. Also, I’ve made literally 2500 dollars at one show on merch! Building a core fan base and actually asking for support, having merch and just keep working on being a better artist.

These videos are amazing!!! I’m not sure if you could answer but how would you navigate finding a good producer (as a singer/songwriter with already written projects? I’m so passionate about the music SOUNDING good that I feel it holds me back :( I’m also scared to just randomly shoot emails 😭 please any advice you have

I am an artist-producer. how do I now SHOW my work to potential connects and not rub off as "name dropping" to "flex" . Genuinely, asking cause I also want to go to the next level with this music thing.

Would you recommend someone who wanted to produce their own music and be an artist to go to music production school ? I play guitar and sing and I’m interested in getting classically in piano trained and go to music production school to learn theory and how to make my Own music. I’m sure that all the information is available to me but do u think a degree with the connections that come with it is worth it ? I also am an actor and would love to contue that side aswell.

Thank you for this INCREDIBLY real advice — the fear mongering has been getting to me lately but i feel like i am creating quality work and i’m gonna continue showing up everyday. I usually skip past most industry advice on this app (specifically the really exaggerated click-baity videos - which this is not) so I’m glad something told me to watch this til the end 👏. instant follow!!!

the boxing analogy at the end was so spot on. thank you for this advice, I'm an artist myself and I already kind of started figuring out most of what you said on my own. that tells me I'm on the right path 💯

I feel the same way, I think people just don’t do the work they need to. Not to say it’s not hard but there are so many paths to be an artist in today’s landscape. We’re not perfect as a band by any means and we could always do more but it’s nice to hear someone not so pessimistic about the industry.

I am mature enough to know that I’m ready for any opportunity that takes me forward music wise. With a single coming up, this video made a difference. Thank you

Great video! I’ve seen people for them, i’ve seen people against them but what are your thoughts on meta ads for growing your spotify/sending as much traffic as possible first week to trigger algorithm?
