    Glad you addressed this matter. Whenever I see artists/managers seeking beats on twitter, I always have mixed feelings about sending anything...

    • @phantom5196
      @phantom5196 7 лет назад +4

      LONERSQUARE oh yeah when they do "giving feedback to fans by listening and telling em whats wrong with the beat." NAHHHH NIGGA they just be getting new ideas and making it "better"

    • @JessHunterMusic
      @JessHunterMusic 6 лет назад +2

      LONERSQUARE why do people send the whole beat. People should just send the first 60 seconds of it with tags and all

    "invest into some one locally" Thank you for all the great advice. This has been another very helpful video for beginning my endeavors as a producer, thanks for all the great tips. It has already been extremely helpful.

  • @HighFlown
    @HighFlown 8 лет назад +5

    I'm confused though...If you're worried about artist stealing your beats when you send them out, then why not send your beats with tags in them? So if they really wanna use it, they will contact you and buy the beat without the tags. Wouldn't that work?

    • @CurtissKingTV
      @CurtissKingTV  8 лет назад +4

      To a certain degree that will protect them or in alot of situations get your beats moved down the priority list because the artists has to perform extra steps to use the beat.

    • @JMissy205PAGE

    • @kiestyleproductions3481
      @kiestyleproductions3481 7 лет назад +7

      It's not hard for an established producer to just recreate the beat's bassline, melody, chord progressions, etc from scratch. Tagged or not, they could use it.

    • @CurtissKingTV
      @CurtissKingTV  8 лет назад

      One great place to start is at shows! Search hashtags on your favorite social network and see what pops up when you search #shows #IE etc. The Common Ground every Sunday in Riverside is definitely a place to link up with local artists looking to work! You should roll out!

    Wow. I just discovered your videos recently and they've been really inciteful. I know this is late as this video came out in 2016, but is it wrong to show an established artist a remix to one of their songs and you add the acapellas to it so they can fully grasp how it will sound altogether? I actually just post them on soundcloud to hopefully get their contact info to send them the link. This way they can't copy it and my tags will be in it. Is this a wrong way to operate? I appreciate the "Curtivation." 👍

      +Curtiss King TV just an overview of the p.r.o services out there, ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, i heard ascap collects more on instrumentals beat than a beat that has vocals also what about becoming your own publisher, why did you decide to go with ascap instead of the other p.r.o's out there. Thanks for putting the information out there these videos help a lot, keep it up.

  • @buuzy252
    @buuzy252 8 лет назад

    I just got 256 followers on RUclips and my music is so dope, I want to get huge fan base who would support me as a producer, what should I do? And what should I do to get a deal with a record label? I use to fight with that since a year.....

    • @CurtissKingTV
      @CurtissKingTV  8 лет назад +1

      Take things one step at a time. You have big dreams that are all attainable, but you have to attack them one at a time. If you want to build a fanbase find what it is that makes you valuable to a potential fan. It's gotta be deeper than just your music being dope. What can the average music listener gain from being a fan of you? Do you want music listeners, rappers, label execs, or other producers to be your fans first? When you figure that out it will help you figure out where to focus your value and what kind of value to deliver
