    This is so cool and interesting. How did you know that, for example with the cover example, everything that DistroKid handles will make sure you're legally on the up and up? Did you do any additional research on your own? (and if so, where? I can't even imagine where you'd go to look up... the laws I guess 😆) or did you just trust that they handled everything?

      So you said that you have all the equipments but still struggling right? All you have to do is just focus on your thing just give 100% attention to your work and keep learning from every single mistake you make. Just grab a instrument whatever you have and play something random or something that's been stuck in your head and write some lyrics, it doesn't have to be related to you or your life. Just write about something or someone you think are special for you. And you have to be creative on your craft to give it a possible meaning. Then hand your work to a music Producer for magical touches and make your own song come alive.
      All I have to say is *just wait for your time to shine and never think that you're a failure. You can make thousand mistakes but only a one correction could be life changing* Good luck!

    Something not covered by this video, is how to get anybody to give a shit about your new song? I debuted a bunch of new songs on RUclips and they were largely ignored by my subscribers. They had the lowest numbers of views, and zero comments. It seems like nobody gives a shit about a new song, unless they hear it on the radio, or in a movie! You can spend a ton of money going through your steps, and in the end, you don't end up selling enough of your music to even cover the bills! Now I know what book writers go through!

    I’m having some writer’s block with writing a new original song. What advice do you have?

      this is a bit late but for future projects, take a break and step away from it to get inspiration from songs you like, from things that fit the theme of the song, breaks are healthy and needed!
