The song i pitched is called " thru the city". You can check it out on my Spotify here: open.spotify.com/playlist/4pwuLaXospPneZsgjHT8PY?si=4i7fZIkJRhqXXgvlWjr1vg&pi=u-kqcsoJohR6Gv

I find running Facebook ads has been the best way to grow as an artist. $5 or $10.00 a day is a fairly minimal cost to get your music out to new listeners. Also another good one has been paying a trustworthy source to submit your song to organic playlists. Haven’t had any luck with editorial placements or TikTok/reels content. I’ll likely try some content strategies soon, but its all so time consuming. Takes away from the time I have to create the actual art of the music. Btw awesome video!!

Thanks for video, don't feel upset!
Good luck!🎉

I feel hopeless, I spend so many hours and years on making music. I promote and market it, send it to booking and gigs, bla bla. But the music industry has become very very difficult, I think the next step I have to do is to move to the USA or Canada. In Norway I am hopeless and stuck.

yeah man, it's tough
Good luck trying again, I'm about to submit for the first time and I'm trying not to get hopeful haha
This video was super helpful to watch tho thx
I liked your beats
I noticed your "beats to drive around to" playlist, when I clicked on tarroza at the top it took me to your playlists instead of your music, but when I tried again I clicked on the song name artist, and realized it's two different accounts. Then I found your other stuff.
I wonder how many other people clicked on the link and did the same thing though, without taking the effort to go find your artist page. Just a thought?
It's crazy how much thought it takes to set this stuff up

Pitching songs on Spotify is difficult… a lot of times they won’t even listen to the song unless your music already has some traction. I’ve got some friends who pitched almost every song they released to Spotify and didn’t get put onto a Playlist until their song blew up on TikTok/IG/YT. Don’t feel too down!

[@chris_tarroza]

Appreciate it! Crazy how valuable playlists have become.

Seems useless to pitch anything to Spotify. Maybe promote using Google Ads?
