a problem often tackled in so many ways, but you cut to the main points (which are distilled from broad perspective) and package your recommendations in a way that is inspiring. Really liked this video! Thank you.
SO well said and love how it wasn't a long ass education with the same hamster wheel advice: single roll out; official music video that nobody sees, lyric video, live, etc. I wonder how AI has also hurt independent artists like myself? I been. running stagnant for 4 years. What is the grind to keep doing exactly?
You’re right I only rap for fun now as a second hobby.. beats are my first choice for the career now but I pay for a SEO tool doesn’t help too much but defo puts it where it needs to be. Also use catchy titles. If you’re not a well known artist/producer, you need a LOT of funding for a marketing budget. That’s why we see terrible rappers get millions of views coz they run ads most people can’t afford. You are right to an extent about it being over saturated but it’s also a money game. Especially in rap. You have to pay for everything nowadays you can’t just blow up without money unless you a very lucky or get noticed by someone really connected early on
Appreciate this video a lot, it's given me a lot of insight in my approach to the start in my marketing journey. I've got a question for you though: Do you think authenticity is a factor that creates a uniqueness to someone's music? When I say authenticity, I refer to artists that worked very hard in developing their skills in order to progress their musicality. I think of huge artists like Micheal Jackson or Kanye who were know for meticulously working on their projects, in which history shows how that translated into their success. So with the industry today and how overly saturated it is, would you say the level of authenticity (or amount of work put in) is a critical factor in separating oneself from the crowd?
Definitely! In my experience it is important not to spend more time on things that the listener doesn’t really benefit from though. I’ve sat their for hours tweaking small things in the mix that didn’t really make a huge difference. Especially cause my music isn’t on a big stage. From an artistic perspective, getting the right takes and making sure all the music is the way you want is crucial.
I think a good way to go is release a song every couple of months & then turn to your friends & family to pass onto everyone. It's a starting point. That's my plan anyway. I released my first song last month. Next will be in a week or so. My aim is to get more views each time I release a track than on the last one!
Definitely wasn’t the case back in the day, well said, I had to go to record shops like HMV to listen to vinyls when I Remember, I had anticipation for a new release, you just don’t get that value anymore. Unfortunately the internet is both a blessing and a curse.
