going on 60 here,and now releasing songs, and still rockin.
Drop a link... I'll give it a listen for the simple fact you're going on 60 and just now starting to release music. Showing it's never too late to start chasing your dreams.
Keep rockin. def motivational 💯
Do you love music that makes you feel good inside and POSITIVE?
I hope you enjoy this song I wrote that I truly believe will inspire the whole world 1 day. Thanks alot 🙂
ruclips.net/video/alvobN7iOkQ/видео.html&feature=share
Thanks, you are an inspiration. I thought I was too old when I first dropped my first (shy) track...childhood dream comming true, and your comment made me believe I should continue, thanks :)
@@codykelly8379 I’m 57 and still doing it also 👍ruclips.net/video/wzdel3UhN3E/видео.html
Pay your dues!!!!!Learn your craft!!! Talent recognizes talent.Peers recognize peers.Being humble goes a long way, contrary to the current paradigm, of"Me Too" .
Yep
Truth
some deep shit spilled out G!
I really just need people to give feedback so that I can improve.
John George word, i gotchu, vise versa me?
More than happy. Always great to listen to new and novel work.
I ask people for emails, and push the music to them...people too lazy now a days
Gino, its a mixture of electronic, jazz and classical. @PresidentChico, I am game for emails. I just generally put things out on soundcloud. The comment section there can be utilized for this very easily.
Same here. I'll go check out your page, dude. Keep hustlin'!
This inspired me. The doubts, the judgement, and even after feeling my music is nothing. You really made me realize that the only person that really should be happy about this music is me. I build my craft and my own style and you made me realized that even though its hard for every artist. You really have to believe in yourself and things will get better. Thank you for the wake up call Adam. Patience is key and hard work pays off.
I really wrote a good song that I believe will b a hit what do I do.
@@jwillock5697 bro how do you write your songs?
I understand where you're coming from. Me personally i've never believednin begging anyone for leverage. I always wanted to build an image for myself. My latest music video gathered 400+ views. I honestly never thought that would happen but im glad. Just have to keep putting in work and find people who like your message.
Congratulations! How do you get 400+ views? Did you run ads?
Man I know EXACTLY what you mean! You can't expect someone to put you on if you're just starting. This takes time and dedication and consistency. Keep pushing quality content and keep working. Even when you start getting noticed, KEEP WORKING! Don't let others direct your vision. If you want it you have to do what it takes to get it
Only person I've heard spilled the truth... Music is not a shortcut to being rich👍
I am only 14 I have been writing music and songs since I found my voice which was 5 years ago I am writing songs and what I wanna do
So first I wanna finish school
I wanna be in like a singing group like bts
So to get noticed I'm gonna book loads of gigs and I believe in my self do you reckon I could do it
@@carnage1163 of course you can good luck dude 💜
Good luck dude
This video was PERFECT, man. You literally spoke about ALL the things that cross my mind about creating & growing music, and being parallel to the music business. I'm 29, & sometimes feel like time isn't on my side with how long I've been making music sporadically with minimal direction sometimes. But this was one of those 1st steps to get me back on the grind & work for it. Thanks, Adam!
Adam! Thank you very much for all your videos, I've been playing guitar and composing songs for 7 years now, and thanks to you I'm taking the courage to take the next step and start going out to the world!
Great video, Adam! You're absolutely right about not needing a huge record label or needing a shoutout from a big artist to be successful. You could be an independent artist/producer and still make decent money through online. Appreciate you giving different perspective on these things! Looking forward to the next one!
ruclips.net/video/JBlN5eEqKAs/видео.html
Check me out n if u down to make some magic happen lets work on a few projects
This is probably your most informative and best video you’ve posted. And I’ve seen probably every video you’ve uploaded. This is how I’ve always thought about this particular subject. ITS ON YOU! YOU HAVE TO PUT IN THE WORK! There’s just no shortcut! Thank you so much Adam for posting this video. Keep up the good work. Once again THANK YOU.
I love it man! Love how you’re always real with every single one of us. I definitely say include material like this because like you said, it’s not just about the creating process, but our mindset also that can really change up the game. Much love man!
I've had a placement or two in my day and have been producing half of my life lol....I'm 32.... what I would suggest to kids is to rent out a studio or enter a best battle just to see where u actually stand... one of my mentors has platinum songs in his catalog and when he plays me shit it reminds me how good some of these industry producers are.... the older ones atleast lol.... be patient and continue to learn!!!!
What's your socials man to check these beats out
where could I find a studio? like how do I do that? I live in a small town. Where factories and grocery stores are more known here. DEFINITELY not singing...what do I do?
@@kamryn2310 I get how frustrating that can be..: but the best thing u can do is travel 🙏🙏🙏
You motivated me bro. Thank you so much!!
Datz sum real shyt
I personally would love to see a video about contacting managers and labels and doing it correctly. Love your stuff Adam! Keep it up!
entitlement is the main reason why anyone fails. Hey it happens to the best of us too, we all have ego just be aware.
you probably will never see this, but you do make a difference with your knowledge and education. Thank you for your work, from one Artist to another
Thank you for taking time out of your day to say that. Means a lot to me.
I love your energy! This really helped some of my doubts! Thank you!
I appreciate you watching. Thanks for the comment!
Loved this video. As an artist looking to take things to the next level, this helped me to believe I can continue when I feel like giving up at times. I love your channel! ✨🎤
Thank you so much for posting as this is exactly what I needed to hear. After all these years, not making real money but didn't get into this because of money, I did it because I love it. I've been given many opportunities by just doing what I love.
This video is not what I was looking for, but it is definitely what I needed, it totally changed my perspective. Now I have a new energy about chasing this music.
Love to hear it!
Great video, great advices, and definitely on point. A lot of us already knows what you said here but we don't always apply. Because while learning and observing the other artists in the industry, from time to time you notice a few kids who achieve in 2 years with no efforts what you haven't made in 20 of hard work. It contributes to the global frustration and the feeling that music industry is unfair and sometimes makes us lose our focus .. I say "we" but i should say "I" actually :). Cheers man. Keep up the great work!
Sebb Junior not that to become a artist you gotta be confident in your work
It depends how far you take it
Thank you so much Adam 🥰I’ve been writing songs since elementary school but I don’t know how to arrange or get anyone to help me . I feel like it’s time for me to reach out 💪🏻
Tellm bro. 💪💪🔥
Smart Rapper I watch all your vids too, I even messsge you on instagram. Hopefully you can get back to me 🔥
Salute bro u a RUclips Goat 💯
Aye dope shit your lookin at some of his vids to haha
haha i love this
Whoa!
Don’t give up... work hard...
Don’t give up...
Love what you do... and someone else just might...
Do everything under the sun to get heard...
very motivational...yes hard work does pay off...I truly believe that...Thanks Adam
Great! Please do the video about the strategy! Thanks men!
I appreciate the feedback. I will put that on the list. Thanks for the support!
I really appreciate your honesty and transparency. I rely on these videos to keep me grounded and moving forward with my goals. I finally just uploaded my first ever youtube video and it hit 2000+ views in the first 2 days. Using these tips and my current momentum to keep progressing and I am so excited to see where it goes. Thank you so much!
I’m 17 year old I literally right now have a laptop Logic Pro X a midi keyboard and a portable speaker I haven’t made a dollar yet but every video I watch of yours I literally become more and more on fire for these dreams I thank you so much for every video you make
We should do a project Im in need of someone who can mix and master n make beats
That analogy is ace . Just gotta keep on learning , keep on pushing . Consistency is key , not just through the music , but through the learning
I love your videos as you just speak the truth & you direct & I like that. I'm just enjoying the process of just creating & I just gotta be consistent & patient.
Man, I love how you've grown this channel this year. You're doing amazing as a creator yourself. Well done. Keep up the great work, Adam!
I love your style Adam! Your honesty and all the info you’re giving out man.. I honestly learned soo much from you and take everything you’ve said to heart. You inspired me to take my vibes to the next level and started a RUclips channel producing music and rapping over my own beats its pretty wavy man! For everyone reading this give it a view and tell me Watchu think guys! Much love ❤️
Love your different angles on the same topic, hammering it in my brain in every video. Thank you once more Adam. You are helping me so much man. Even after having watched hundreds of'em by now. Your passion sounds so real.
If this channel never existed I don’t think I would know what I know now! This guys has taught me a lot of thing I never knew before about the music industry. I really appreciate it😌😁
It really does help the mindset seeing where the trajectory can land or is like amounts that you can make by doing certain amount of work that is really helpful thank you
Thanks for being realistic! Fake promises don’t get you nowhere. I’ve been putting everything I have in music all my life but did zero in promoting myself. The sooner you realise that you need to be better businessman than a musician, the better.
Probably the most honest video about this particular topic. Love it! Well stated.
Every video is a mini wakeup call. I can say that as a 22 year old instrumentalist I haven't taken responsibility for my position in life.
Thanks to your content I gained the confidence to start my channel, and refine my while mindset and even daily routine.
The rants you put up about changing your mindset and tough love as much as I don't think you are as harsh as you do, they are brilliant.
Thank you Adam, you give me a lot of reasons to keep believing in myself and continue to strive. Lately I have been feeling really down because I am filled with a lot of doubts and nobody seems to believes in me, so I do feel really alone most of the time. I started to make music last year which wasn’t very successful, I had no idea what I was doing because I did not do any research about how the music industry works. Thankfully, earlier this year I stumbled upon your channel and learned a lot of important information. Now I am slowly starting back with my dream, currently uploaded my new single with the full EP soon!
I for 1 don't mind a longer video....just do ur thing bro...regardless of how some people feel...we're all on here listening,learning....we're taking notes long/short videos....we luvin' them
10:56 those words gave me some reassurance I didn't know I needed. Thanks Adam!
WOW, what an awesome point about making music 6 years and not being in debt. That's such a great perspective! I've only been doing this thing 4 years, so I ain't even outta college yet! Thanks dude!
This is a great video. Hard work, persistence, growth, talent, vision day after day is the way to go.
Awesome video..I say the same thing all the time. I’m 23 years in the game...paid my dues paying to record in pro studios for years when I started till I learned enough to build my own studio and now all these years later my quality is way better than what I used to pay for. These days they don’t wanna pay to record and I try to tell then they are paying for over 20 years experience..these days they think they can buy a laptop and drop and album...no matter what..it won’t sound like what a professional can do
the way u talk, look into my eyes, its like u really want me to succeed and u are trying to help me... man.. thankyou so much :)
I'm literally 15 and I make beats, you have made me Relook my producing... THANK YOUUUUUU SO MUCH THAT IS WHAT I NEEDED
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
I really needed this for reassurance so it's a wonderful coincidence that this was uploaded today! This has been my mindset since graduating from music school. I tried working with bands/artists/producers but majority of them were ALWAYS somewhat busy. I don't have time to wait to accomplish my dreams. At least not like they do. Time to walk the walk! NO MORE TALK. This is exactly why I became and audio engineer as an artist. No one will ever care as much for you as YOU do. Not saying you gotta be selfish or be lonely, just be confident in your skills and you just gotta know what you're really worth to yourself if it seems like no one can help you. You must support yourself most importantly.
I would really love to work with you on a project (whatever it may be) one day man. That's a bucket list goal of mine! Thanks for great content as always, Adam.
P.S. You got me to buy a camera yesterday so I can start making higher quality music videos and covers. Thank you dude.🤘😎👌
You're amazing Adam....
Loved it....
The way you talked about the creator's mindset was awesome
This video was recommended to me by RUclips. Really enjoyed the message and just subscribed. Already making a living as a musician/teacher, but want to grow my solo side project. Will be digging through all of your videos for more tips. Thanks!
I NEEDED THIS! Been making beats for 13 yrs. Now that I think my beats sound “good enough”, i definitely had that entitlement, even though I just started posting a yr ago.
Dude this guy is inspiring. Such a a fantastic attention to detail. Love it.
I appreciate that!
Don’t apologize for going hippie bruh. I appreciate it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
After being in the business for 17 + years...i am so happy to hear you say this!!! The truth is .. we meet people along the way, when the time is right...maybe youll work with them or maybe you wont. The best thing is to just work on your craft .develop your own sound...because youll end up being heavily influenced by what the other artists want ....and you might not even learn that much. This business. isnt about money. (Well of course it comes with being hired for jobs but it happens naturally). Anyways. I'm not going to even go in to my journey and what i've done and who ive met...but it happened naturally.. I didnt seek people out...I PUT IN THE WORK....and im still PUTTING IN THE WORK. and im still buying things for the studio. I started in electronic music and was wildly seuccessful. and now im shooting for Film and TV. When the time is right I will cross paths with someone who is either a director or a composer... i dont know.. but i believe in putting energy toward things and believing. But dont go for things for greed and jump the gun. Be patient and put in the work and be humble. JUST like you said ADAM ...THANK you for sharing this with the world.. so perfectly well articulated. I accidentally got nominated for a grammy btw... This is the kind of thing that happens too. Dont give up people.
You're the only one who can pull-off long videos like this. You don't need to change a thing!
Hey Adam!My name is Amber Lee from Austin,Tx,and I came across one of your videos while researching how i could build my brand a couple weeks back,and I've been watching them ever since.This one REALLY helped me,because thats a big problem of mine.My mindset.I can relate to everything on this one.Thankyou for doing what you do. You're a very good teacher and break info down where i can understand it better.See u on ur next one!!
A.Lee
I’ve been dreaming of making a living off of music. I appreciate this video. You inspired me even further.
Hey Adam. Great as always. And disagree the videos are long winded! Fantastic information and for free. You give up your time to hand out your advice that you have discovered over your career. Cheers man. :)
And just to add that totally agree with your advice. In modern times a lot of folk believe they have the right to be a celebrity, maybe because they can sing or have a certain look. This is total bollocks. What they forget is the artists back in the day worked tirelessly gig after gig. Even the Beatles worked every night singing covers. Doing five hour sets and even had to travel over to Germany to get their name out there. We have to make our own luck and work as hard if not harder than the next guy. And most of all never give up. That’s what sets the big players apart. Some artists don’t make it until their fifties. Cheers again!! :)
I fucking love the positivity you put out. Balancing pragmatism and positivity is really a challenge and I really appreciate you for what you do.
You’re amazing. Cheers
I hope that our God is looking at you while you re doing this . Cuz you help me a lot and you have a big soul . Respect man! (Just started with the english)
Bro i like how you seem to always keep it real. This is not something one dabbles in its a long term commitment and, it take patience most people want to see results quick but it don't work that way but if you love music or whatever you are doing then you won't mind waiting because you'll be too busy enjoying the process to care about that and if you love doing something it shows and your more likely to see success because people see your passion your joy and your mastery
Thank you Adam, yes it helps a lot, and yes i would be glad if you could make a strategy video to get in touch in a proper manner with the industry :) sorry for my english, cheers from France
Glad you found some value in it man. Thank you.
Adam Ivy, I really appreciate your videos and I just discovered you recently, you are very inspiring and always speak wisely. Thank you!
I appreciate that!
what you do is really inspirational man, I hope you can find time and space to do the long ass video though. Really looking forward to it bro.
i dont mind rambling long as u acknowledge u are and its genuine . means ur not a bullshyter
Very helpful, brother! I appreciate you making content like this and your videos really have taken me to the next level
Adam Thanks. I hate this notion that people have that they are going to take the world by storm. Sure it happens and yes it is everyone's dream but most of us do this one step at a time with blood sweat and tears. I have been engineering for over 30 years. I have always toyed with the idea of owning a recording studio but I have seen so many fail. I am not a marketing tycoon. I have a very specific craft and I love it. I do it in my sleep (30+ years after I started) I may end up with a full on studio, I may not. Early on I realized I don't need gear. What I need is readily available whenever I have need of it. What I need is to do what I do better. There has never been 1 day when I could not say I think I can do it better yet. This is only because I have spent my life trying to learn how to "do it better". You said it. There are scouts and A&R reps etc. They are looking for "another good man". We just need to be the next good man that they need. You will notice I used the word "BE" here. That isn't to be confused with "think I can or believe you can". There is no room for maybe here. I get all of my work via word of mouth. I have found sales pitches don't mean anything in our industry. It is all about "Proven Track Record". They don't like to risk an already risky project on risky talent and that is why "the Usual Suspects" get all of the gigs. They do it every day and everyone knows if they hire them it is going to happen. Every chance we get is a chance to prove one more time that "we can". We need a whole rap sheet of "yes, he cans". No brochures, no fancy cards, no discounts or kick backs can help them to see what they are needing to know. In the words of NIKE "Just do it"!!! The only way to success is "nose to the grindstone". Sharpen the knife until it is the sharpest ever, then do another, and another, and another. Eventually someone is going to notice.
Hey Adam, music make me alive now. And the office work is fun too, but I strive with making a video now. I have so much apps to learn too, but time I got then. I have my pension now, and live good on that. Music is 100% for me, and it makes my day too.
Adam, stop apologizing. If people are like me they are watching you because they get something out of it which I do! Don’t be sorry for doing what you’re doing because you might piss some people off. Fuck them, you’re really helping me out by posting these videos thank you.
"Think about this. A lawyer has to go to school for a minimum of 8 years before they could ever even start practicing law legally.
A doctor has to go to school 6 ,8 ,10 years before they're able to start practicing medicine legally.
We could start practicing music legally since day one"
- Adam Ivy
Badass quote
I really needed to hear this. Be humble and let the making of music be the reward. The rest will follow when the time comes. And by all means, go as hippy as you wish Adam!
In my opinion This is honestly the most important video you ever made. Even tho i think all your vids (i seen so far) are great.
I rented an Office in the building the big Boys in my City work. Meeting artists on a daily basis now.
That was a major shift. I worked all summer with No days off. And i still do but i Changed from everyday taxidriving to only weekends and now i work every Day in the studio i buildt downtown.
Mindset is everything. Invest and do what you are scared to do and it Will pay off.
Music Will be my only job in 3 years
Don't know when our dreams gonna be true🤔
But I never lose hope I will keep doing it 🌟🙌
I released a single to show people a true sound of my band even if it’s just me and a guitar. It felt weird seeing my band name on Apple Music. Hopefully my band will take off one day and get great money and just live our lives making music because it’s always been the dream we wanted.
All the very best!!
You already too off you registered a song.
thank you so much for this g 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I don't know how I will achieve it but all I know is that it isn't over until I give up ❤
I like that last bit - needing no permission to create, just limited gear ideas. We forget that as it's so easy to be distracted by the external. Keep creating, artists. ❤️
Honesty and bluntness just earned you another sub. Thank you.
it is , its bringing value and that reminder , be patient and keep going !
The best advice I ever heard about music
I really loved this video, Adam. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!..and please..do keep videos long!!
Learn your craft! is such a true thing and you motivate me to even work harder then now! Don't regret the past learn from it!!
I’ll do whatever it takes to make it to where I want to be. I don’t care how long it takes. Thank you for helping me realize what steps I have to take from where I am.
Every single video Adam drops is straight gold. Not normally into these types of “motivational” videos but these are different, can’t explain it.
I been making music for a long time and I'm just now noticing I really don't need a label and me watching this video I'm convinced I can do it by myself cuz I'll always want label to sign me but I have to Market myself better
Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I did go to law school, I put in the work for that field, I acquired debt. If I could do it all over again, I probably wouldn’t go. My interests shifted. Recently I’ve started to pursue my creative stuff: podcasting, writing, creating RUclips videos. I’ve been trying to find a strategy to merge this interest with my legal background.. so all that work doesn’t go to waste. But I need to not be unintentionally entitled as you put it. With faith and effort we will get there. ❤️
I like how you keep it real, i appreciate this!
Yes, sir, thank you very much for the info! Regards from Romania! I was doing my workout and stopped when you dropped that story and told us not to quit the video. It makes sense, now...Thx again!
people dont realize that this video is gold. thanks for the knowledge bruh, this mean so much to me
So very grateful for this video and all the work you do Adam. All of your videos. Truly, you are a beacon of hope, truth, motivation and perseverance for the hustle. I'm so grateful, thank you.
Chief Da Don on all Platforms!
Unintentional entitlement is the thing I heard today. I really understood this tooooo much. Thank you @adam ivy
Nothing happens overnight, you have to let things marinate.Hard work, dedication, passion towards what you do, confidence, spreading a positive message etc. Any and everything is is possible no matter what it Is you just have to truly want to execute your goals. I hope all of you remain humble and grateful that you have this skill. Mucho love ❤🔥
U 1000% right! Just gotta work I'm not looking to get signed I want raw new untapped talent because that's how you really eat. So I've started my own company and I'm about to get it going!
Man it's 2020 I love the content my friend thank you for depositing good information into the world of music lovers trying to make it.
Well thought out video. Good to hear someone saying the truth. Learned this the hard way. :D
I appreciate you taking the time to watch. Thank you!
I just found your channel a day ago. You really have put in the effort to comprehensively explain your experiences sincerely. Hope to hear your music work if you have it publicly available.
My years of producing we’ve had major record deals but being independent is much better that’s my opinion I am enjoying your video
You got my like when you touched on the short timers wanting immediate entitlement!
I dont know what Inspired you to make this video but... You Got It Just On Point
