👇 ABOUT ME:
Hey! I'm Damian Keyes and I've worked with musicians every day of my life for the past 20 years. The internet is deeply untrusting understandably and here is my background so you can have the full picture.
When I was 18, I was signed to a major label (dropped 6 months later) and at 23 I co-founded a Music University in Europe called BIMM (valued at $300M). I’m also a bass player, I’ve played for a number of artists including Eric Clapton, Alanis Morrisette and Billy Cobham. I initially retired at 30, but realised that life gets boring if you’re not building!
I have always been in-between the music industry and education which is how I ended up building my RUclips channel - I’ve been teaching artists how to release music long before it was a ‘niche’! I now educate artists around the world with my Academy, RUclips channel and I work directly with labels internationally alongside owning a live agency and management company.
It’s great to meet you and looking forward to working together on your music!

Got to be honest. This channel is working for me....cheers!
Not a musician but I still enjoy watching your videos ;)
These skills are usable in every fame based endeavor
That's real
"Leaving a legacy" is probably some of the best advice I've heard on this particular topic. Always great information from you!
Thanks.
One thing I do is searching Spotify for user playlists that our songs would fit on. Sometimes have to google the users to find contact info. So I found this woman with a playlist with a few hundred followers (she didn’t even know she had followers) and long story short: her little kids became fans. So we recorded a video of an unreleased song, dedicated it to those two little kids. They couldn’t believe their ears that the band in the video was mentioning them by name. Turned them into super-fans maybe but of course also their parents :-)
Hey Damian, thanks for talking about my Arkells story in this video! Such a great way to create a legacy as a band.
If anyone's interested, I've got some original music and covers (including an Arkells cover) up on my channel. I'd love to chat with some more of you!
-John
It's a great story... it showed Damians point... happy days...
He created legacy with your legacy
We are obsessed with your channel. My 14 and 12 year old girls have been professional musicians for about 3 years now,. As a mom, manager, and their educator, I have appreciated all the conversations these videos have prompted regarding improving our brand image, skill development, and our connection to our fans, Seriously grateful. You make all these topics so interesting. Thank you for the daily inspiration. I hope our paths cross in the future so I can shake your hand!
Thank you for doing what you do! You're awesome.
You think we'd have it easy. We played twice a week with a venue that has a built-in audience. But it is still difficult for us to build true fans just by playing music. During our breaks we have to go out into the audience and try to build connections with people. Really music isn't just about music. Your videos of helped us build a fan base for a tricky genre of Music.
Thank you Damian!!
This is arguably the best things I've watched concerning . fanbase building. Thanks so much for this.
We were very poor at stage 1 getting reach, but what we used to do at random times was invite a random fan to a rehearsal session allowing some one on one interaction with us and also sit in on a session and experience what goes on behind the scenes.
Awesome. We will be thinking about how to do this with fans. We've done a bit of it with bands that are in the area by featuring them on videos and even interviewing some of them. Many of our fans are in other bands, and that turns into more gigs. Thanks for the tips Damo!
Arkells are quality Canadian content! Worked with them years ago and they're going stronger than ever! Continuously growing!
If you're enjoying Canadian rock bands we hope you give us a listen ! Always enjoying all you have to share Damian!
Cheers!
Very clever video Damo, thank you! I love the word legacy it’s not used enough and it’s one of the main reasons I do my music and engage with my audience!
Sean Muir thanks bro it’s defo a way to grow faster than usual 😊😊😊
awesome tips dude... definitely something i need to start adding in
100% Spot on. Treat people well and they'll support you through thick and thin. I'm lucky I learnt early on that engaging with fans at a level where they feel special (They are special) is key. I've even made real friends with some of these people along the way, an added bonus.
Yeh the numbers aren't huge. But they're big enough however, I crowdfunded two albums, created a video made up entirely of fan clips sent to me, had a guy up on stage with me who had been engaging with me from the off, a guy travelled 200 miles to my album launch!! That matters!
I can name so many of the those fans who supported me individually. I will make sure to see them at a gig and chat. I actually enjoy that and value it hugely. This is after all the age of social media. Be social, talk to people you never know where it can lead. I did all this with very little budget, use your imagination and engage, oh and have the songs too obviously ;)
Nice one again Damo. x
Wise words of advice indeed!👍🌹
I'm actually trying to create a stir by just putting up posters saying 'coming soon' and I have a fairly unique logo (not my pic here) that I use which always grabs people's attention anyways, so this way it creates a bit of a stir and a curiosity. I love the idea too of bringing somebody else new and upcoming someone who's worked real hard, maybe someone is not being heard enough, getting them to open or getting them to come and play a couple of their tunes. I'm always a fan of audience and fan-based participation. After all, we are all fans of someone, so ask yourself how you would like to be treated by your favs😉💜
Yesss! Visual branding is super important 🙌🏼
Your ideas are so potent. I'm definitily playing catch up at the mo but slowly getting my house in order.
Thank you
Leroy Horns same boat bro. Can’t wait to apply these after House I’d fully in order.
You bring up some great point although i think it will take more than 30 days to create a legacy or super fan you can for sure start building a fan base sooner than later.
Hi, thank you for the info. I have been a musician my whole life and it's never gone anywhere really. I recently revived an old project called Market Zero and I am taking notes on your channel
Another thought-provoking vid ... thinking outside the box to go above and beyond to augment the audience experience ... make them feel special.
Now let me take off this box... 🙂
I done a similar thing in the gaming community.
When a fan of my Doom mod did a playthrough video of it, I gave him or her a shout-out.
What doom mod dude? We named our band Psychophobia (in part) after doom mods :D
@@adrianwettergren9572 my mod is a brutal doom submod. You might have seen Icarus liv3s do a negative review of it
What an amazing story. Really important to remember that in our fan communities, its important that our fans need us as much as we need them. Make them feel special and cared about, and they will make us feel special. Damo, another great video as always. Thanks man! This story definitely is one of taking this idea to the max. Have any ideas for ways that we could make our fans feel just as special in smaller ways? Want it to feel authentic still.
Hey Damian, you are gaining alot of Adam Ivy fan base. Myself included. He hasn't posted videos in over a month. Thanks for the motivation brotha. Consistency is key.
Damian, I'm hooked on your channel, thanks for what your doing.
Im addicted to your videos. Reallt helpful, your communications skills are simply amazing, you connect to people so quickly and advices are really valuable. Thank you Damo. Subscribed and like all the videos so far. Kisses from little african country of Cape Verde
How is it possible that your hit rate for creating level 99 god mode ON content is close to a 100%? this is GOLD sir! yup just another unbelievably AWESOME video worth it's weight in gold! ty for the upload.
Great advice Damian! From putting myself out there *once* via an Instagram DM, others have noticed my playing, so when they say, "Hey, Rob. I'd like to try having cello/violin/uke on a couple of my tunes, what do ya think?", I say yes. My gig offers, recording jobs, and teaching have all grown because of these little interactions, and we get to share fanbases everytime I show up at a colleague's gig to play a song or two.
I'd been desperately looking for a video like this. As a marketing graduate myself I'm aware of the AIDA model but translating it into my product as a public figure/musician has been a challenge.
Thank you Damian!
It can definitely take a while to define your niche, brand and how to reach your audience. Patience is key imo (annoying I know ha)
It's so funny that you mentioned the Arkells! I went to the same uni as them a couple of years after they graduated. They REALLY know how to market themselves as hometown, local Canadian boys. Everyone at our school eats them up. I've seen them walking around the area too and they always stop for a pic and to say hello. They also always seem to remember me even though I've only met them a few times - making me feel really appreciated. They've really exploded here in Canada over the past couple of years just because they're the nicest guys.
Hey Damian, this is amazing advice if I had discovered your channel post covid. Loving your content and am looking forward to applying these methods once I get a band started
Yes Damian, you are completely right... Thank you so much for this valuable content. This is so constructive and positive. Simply by making good to others. Relation at the end is not only communicate with other it is also by really sharing a valuable moment or experience. I really like this one.
One very powerful thing you can do is to build your own 'Media Platform' and distribute your content/podcast/music/meta content across the web on social media sites, but having that original source is a critical part of this. Damian offers some great insights and approaches, but as a web geek I offer you this very foundational concept.
Mr. Keys, I am a 56 year old man that has recently been called to be a Troubadour for the great Spirit. I've been a street singer for most of my life and now it's become very real. Real in the sense that I've been called to testify of Love and healing through song. I've been given 11 songs, one that is actually a musical alter call but alas,. I'm clueless as to how to proceed. These songs need to be heard and I'm being led, I believe, to you, so,...Any advice? Oh,..I'm supposed to tell you that God Loves you, brother!
Cheers Damo, nice vid again. I do a live stream every couple of weeks and get the audience to write my set list, and challenge me to play a cover I've never played before. I'd still like to do more though, so I'll get my thinking cap on!
Wow... never thought of that building a legacy one, i might not be able to do it like arkeels yet 😂, but it still a very unique way to grow a fan base, awesome video as always 👍👍🙏
Nice job. You always have ACTUAL content. There are many that are just putting up click, which is fine, but then have zero content that is usable for us, the audience. Thank you sir
Hey DAMO, can a musician build an engaged fanbase in another country only by relying on social media and streaming platforms?
Thats a great question. I look forward to Damians response
@@textron4593 Me too.
Yes! I've got a bigger fanbase in America than in my own country (UK) you just need to target them more on social media and more importantly making friends with them.
Me too
This is a really great question!!!
After every follow on Instagram. I started sending personal messages thanking them. I was amazed at how many people want to be engaged. It makes such a difference in the connection.
Thanks Damo.
We have been trying this approach with some local people and bands, and it seems to work.
Great advise! I've done this in the past without realizing that I was creating legacy. But now that I realize the impact that it can have, I'll be sure to apply it regularly. Thx 🙏
Good tip Damo. Just started this channel so keen to get the numbers and engagement up. 30 Day Challenge here we go!! Cheers.
Awesome!! Let me know how you get on 😊😊
@@DamianKeyes will do for sure.
Very insightful. I'd just like to add though, that genuine interest in the fanbase also goes a long way. These tips are great, but you shouldn't get too wrapped up in the strategy of it all and forget to genuinely appreaciate and respect your fans' passion, without judgment, cause those fans will be able to sens it if you're manipulating them into feeling a bond with you that is ultimately fake and born only out of your self interest.
Speaking from the perspective of someone who's part of arguably the most engaged music fanbase on the planet right now, genuine mutual respect is key. There's a vast difference between making them feel special because you actually care about how THEY feel VS. making them feel special because you know it'll help you gain their interest.
Damo love the updates man I’m learning a lot from your channel. You’ve been helping me grown my fam base for a few weeks now. Keep it coming 💪🏽
This gave me a few interesting ideas. Cheers!
Between this guy and Dan Lok, you can learn everything you need to know about how to make money in the music business!
You are just the funniest and most engaged person out there. Thank you for sharing all your insights.
Hey Damien, love this idea. Definitely gonna look for opportunities to apply this. I have a challenge - I wonder what you think about responding to DMs. I’ve started getting a lot of people messaging me and it’s a bit of a conundrum as to what to do. I appreciate these people and don’t want to leave them hanging and I respond to a lot but keeping up with all the DMs could be a job on it’s own. I’ve heard some advice to respond to all messages but it just seems like too much. I wonder what your philosophy is on this. Thanks a lot 🙏🤟
Hi Damo, thank you so much!! This is one the best content we can get about managing our music and art and to get more out of it!!! Really appreciating what you do!! 👌🏻👌🏻🔥
These tips are amazing thank you for all the help!
This guy is a master at telling you something without telling you anything.
Corey Breedlove ask me a question I’ll tell you the answer .. make it about your music 😊
Every time I check out one of your videos I get a nugget. Adding value is the key. Preciate cha!
Very engaging videos, been watching regularly.
I love when I watch your vids and I know it's a fact at what your saying because I've applied this in my prior business. Good vid, to all the nay Sayers, damo has the goods!! PS enjoying your book bud, it's right down to my train of thought, enacting it a little harder for me. Need to get my head out of the way and act✌️🤘
I subscribed! Great points from a new point of view! Thanks for helping
I listen to your videos while at work. Just picked my phone up and blew it thinking my screen was dusty. Turns out it’s just the pattern on your T 😂
I like it, basically taking your pyramid of fans and stacking em up but I would’ve appreciated more ideas on how you could leave a “legacy”.
Very nice info! Gonna use some of it!
Hi Damien, your video really helped focus my mind on building connections. It's easy to ignore what's sitting under our noses. Thanks for Stop Selling Music as well. All the best, Sean
This is the first video of yours I've watched and I loved it! Thanks for the advice. Me and my new band unit 48 are pretty much just starting out and I think your advice will help us on our way so thank you 😊
What a great story! Thank you for sharing! Such great advice too!
Great video man!
Deff putting your advice into practice today!
I'll keep you posted 30 Days from now!
Bruh...is that a phone on the wall? ;) great channel btw...keep it up, I'm diggin it!
Thanks for another great video Damian.
'the best this you can do is to like and subscribe to this youtube channel' - i subscribed 😛
Your tips are truly something special, Dame! Loved this video!
Dear Knob-head,
I'm enjoying your RUclips content and your book so far. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!
The fan base im part of and it’s on a level of super fans is the ARMY
Wow!!! This is very helpful bro❤️❤️
thx man thats what i needed man your the best
Thanks man. I'm really gonna try and stay focused on this for the next thirty days. Next year will be big for me! I can feel it! Just got to put in the work!
Damian, love your videos. They have given a ton of insight about turning your audience into fans. After watching this video, I’m a little stumped and maybe you can help me. What kinds of things can you do for a band at smaller level? The band you mentioned in the video has social presence already and someone asked to play with them, so they let him. That makes complete sense. The part I can’t figure out is what kinds of things can you do for a band that plays to rooms of 50-100 (as opposed to thousands) and has a much smaller audience and social presence (compared to the group you mentioned). I’m not sure if my question makes sense, but I would love your input. Thanks, Brandon.
Nice tips dude!
First of all I wanna say thank you for your Video. But I always have one big question - all these Videos are for Musicians and Bands performing live, producing and releasing their new stuff and trying to build their "superfanbase". How is it for Artists like me, composing and producing Filmmusic. Honestly I released my first Video with my music 2 weeks ago - people shared it, liked it and I build a small base to go on. 1100 Views in 2 Weeks are incredible for me and gives me a feeling that my music is appreciated! But what's next? I can't perform with a huge Orchestra at Vienna Concerthouse ;) So do you have any tips for Filmmusicproducers? Thanks a lot
Very true. I find this really helpful.
You are just brilliant- just discovered your channel and blew me away. Amazing / interesting vids. Liked the one on tips for rehearsals. Simply awesome.
Thank you so so much!
Got the player for my band. Went to play overseas together, performed at the radio. Not a single mention of a band, but lots of posts of him alone at the gig, at the radio station, giving away his band's merch for free after gigs while we were trying to sell ours. Legacy? Don't know. All I know is as good as the guy is at his instrument - he is out of my business.
At first I was so angry, but now it's just funny to remember.
Can you give us some other ideas of what you can do online to right now? Like bringing a fan on stage is 1 thing you do only when you have shows, but what else can you do when you arn't performing?
Thank you for giving us very concrete examples of creating connection and legacy, and of bringing value.
Love this so much. Have been working on this so much lately and have been working hard on all this
Cool tips, thx Damo!
Really nice man! Love is about giving and receiving! Thanks for sharing wisdom!
This is my favorite video on your channel. Kudos!
Great video, by the way last tuesday just called a 12 year old drummer to jam with the band , it was amazing, have to do more things like that
Wild! Arkells are from my hometown, they are LOVED here. Filled up most of the stadium. They got me premium rate uber rides all day hahahaha. Anyways another great video. Thanks man!
So far I've loved all your videos. Greetings from Colombia
Great stuff Damian we've just subbed going through your videos now! Great stuff so far!
Hey started watching your videos recently and wanted to say that you do an awesome job! Keep it up!
Actually, I'm not that good at reach either. There's only three people in my room; one of them is me and the other two are lost.
I'm learning a lot listening to you bro. Keep it comin!
Got the point . Free tee shirts have been sent out now thanks for the advice !!!
Great tips, Damian! This video could be renamed to just Marketing because I believe it could benefit every professional and every business out there.
Love your content Damo definitely advice I'll be taking on board both as a solo artist and with a band I'm part of.
You really put out this great content and it has be blessing my life with it. Just wanna say a very big thank you!
I'm digging it Damian 👍👍👍🎹🎙🎤🎷😅😎
Super Cool Mindset, this video was a manifestation unlike anything else.... Thank You
Love this video ❤️😊
Wow, this was an inspirational and inspired video. Thank you. Best video content you've put up to date.
+Julian Langan-Fox thank you so much Julian 😊😊😊
I’ve found music to be a very community driven niche on IG, people are pretty open to network if you’re legit and have decent content, especially for musicians
dont agree that this is a method to build a fanbase in only 30 days, but i do agree that legacy is one of the most important aspects. felt like this video could've used less repeating the same words over and over to drive the point home, and more killer tips. like just be honest, if your music isn't getting at least MOST of the people in the audience hooked as fans, then your music or performance probably just isn't good enough or you're playing the wrong gigs.
maybe you could do a video about how to land the right gigs!!
Dude. Great advice!
