Very valuable lessons, I'm clocking 23 in 3 days, I've been making music for 5 years too, I decided to go all in and become a full time music producer, this year, but I'm not gonna lie I've not been consistent, I'm not getting myself out there, it's funny how my girl told me the same thing this morning, that I should get myself out there and show my face, own my brand... I'm talking too much, but yeah thanks BB, I'm gonna start doing this, so I can become successful a producer too. To anyone reading this, don't dwell in your down moment, remember why you started making music in the first place, that'll help you to make more and better music, have a good day 🙃
Make music for the sake of enjoying what you make, it makes it so much easier. Less pressure = more fun, don't go into with the expectation of making money or hitting a certain deadline.
Dude, I was a ghostproducer for 5 years and supported by many big dj artists, huge labels such as Spinning records, armada, STMPD records and much more…I made a lot of money but the problem is it made me depressed as hell, it gave me panick attacks, anxiety issues, sleep problems…I had to quite from my doctor because of my health issues because it was eating me alive….Being a music producer is very hard work. Too bad I don’t make tracks anymore…Because of my burn-out, stress, health issues. This is why most famous producers have depression…
As a 30yo who went through the industry from 19-24, got out, did the adult thing and built a '"career", and am now producing again and chasing my dream, I must say I'm so refreshed and inspired by your humility and bluntness, let alone your wisdom of the process. Followed and shared your account before I was done watching; looking forward to more content and to see your journey progress brotha
Video comes so perfectly for me to learn from. I quit my job 5 weeks ago to go all in as a producer. I’m making Beats everyday, uploading on my channel as much as i can, sending them out to people and trying to get some attention on social media and working with artist is everything i do. I just feel that these 5 weeks already have been so fantastic, just making music and enjoying what i love. It‘s hard to start from the bottom with only a little amount of money, but i feel like it will be worth it. To everyone who thinks about doing this too: It already helped me a lot. I improve my skills so much and can feel that i get much more used to making music and i‘m getting so much better at it like everyday. I would always take this step again because i‘m growing so much with what i‘m doing right now. Thank you for the vid BB, really helps me out as a motivation! ❤
I've been there and I advise you strongly to still have something that pays your bills at least a little bit. I had tracks with 250k Clicks, Gigs in France and Berlin and still it wasn't enough to live off it, which got me more and more stressed, the shorter the money got and influenced my relationships heavily. I still learnt important lessons from it but keep it in the back of your mind and if you notice these things getting influenced, act on it :) Enjoy your time, we all love good music!
@max klähn i saved some money i live from now but i know what you‘re talking about. Of course it‘s not easy to make a living from it but i came to a point where i really needed this. Even if it won‘t work i‘ve already learned more than i did when i just had my free time to do music. There is just something with this everyday routine about it, that makes me feel it a lot more and helps me making better decisions. We will see what the future brings but even if it gets me to earn 50% of my money i‘m closer to where i want to be :) i think everything just needs a beginning and this is mine. Of course my feelings can change and maybe i need to get some money from somewhere in a bit, but that‘s ok if it is so. :) But thank you for you‘re kind answers!
im same situation with you bro! lost my well paid job and decide to make my music a full-time job , now i've learn so much on music and mentally , still not yet make a beat sale tho but i believe its all going forward , even tho its hard but its worth it , felt like shit happened because the god is testing me if im worth enough to live my dream
As someone who turned 25 and is studying full time, it's so difficult to produce music consistently. Sometimes you'll feel like you're too old to even make a career as a full time music producer. Great tips by the way, there are realism in there!
@@Chris_978 Thank you brother! Your words are really kind and encouraging, I'll keep working on my craft! I hope you keep pushing to make the best music too!
@@playmakersmusic I’m glad that I can encourage you really makes my day knowing that I can lift somebody up. Age shouldn’t be a factor in reality it’s a toxic mindset that holds u back, I’m 30 yrs old and I enjoy working with music weather it be Djing and now making beats. Continue working on your craft my brother whatever u desire go for it and even if your full time use the time u can take to make something even if it’s simple the importance is to keep rolling no matter what. You got a Instagram or something would like to add you and u can show me any of your craft u make I’d like to know.
Being at the age of 28, this video gives me the encouragement to start working towards my music career. I already have a Donner electronic set, a DAW, laptop, an interface, bass guitar and a MIDI keyboard. Thank you! I need this video!
I’m stuck in a never ending loop of making tracks I like, mixing them down, checking them on different speakers and headphones until I finally decide the track sucks and I just suck at making music. I just want them to sound good enough to post on soundcloud but when I listen to producers I like their tracks sound so much cleaner and full.
Take your time. You'll get there.Invest your time into learning how to mix, treat your room, get decent hardware for shaping the sound. Read a book or two about sound engeneering. I'm on the same journey. I've actually decided not to make serious efforst before I will have a decent studio. It's a waste of time. I play music every day, improving my piano skills, learn some music theory and save on proper gear as it helps a ton to have the right tools.
I know what you mean, I’m in a similar boat. But just post it. If you all you do is compare your music to others then you’ll never start posting which is how you receive feedback, build a fan base, find people to collaborate with (which is a good way to improve). Consuming content and social media will always be part of a creators job, but i think it’s better to not compare yourself to others and post what you want rather than focus on what others do
@@jakestvn even though I agree , what bothers me is copy right issues , a lot of producers like to steal Melodies , and they do it easily too , which is why I’ve always had the issue of wether I should post or not
I feel like sometimes whenever you are going through tough things, it's easier to sit down and just make something usually 2x better because of all your emotion piled up.
Thank you for this video and for all you do. This video has been on my recommendations for days but I just couldn't bring myself to watch it. I finally did today and this is exactly what I need to hear. I've been struggling with music, personal stuff, and work for the last few months. It honestly feels like nothing is going right. What you said helps a lot and it's very encouraging! Thank you, truly. Stay blessed! ✨
Way to go on all your accomplishments! It’s not easy for many in their early 20’s to have as much discipline to living a healthy and time-managed life than what you have shown us. Also, thank you for your personal help over the last year with my music production questions over Instagram. Many people don’t give their audience that one-on-one connection. Keep at it!
This is great advice! Thank you for sharing that you struggled with the social media aspect too. That’s how I feel- putting myself out there (especially consistently) is the hardest part. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who’s felt that way!
i actually appreciate this video. it’s much like the hundreds of others i’ve watched, just bringing up the same things be consistent, make it a priority, and prosper through it all enough to see the other side, it all makes sense and is simple in concept and i guess i just relate a lot to you so maybe this resonates more with me personally but either way i just like the delivery here.
Man i love this, thanks for the honesty and real vid. No gimmick no bs, just straight advice from one down to earth human being to another, have god one👌
Hey man, I think I needed those words, so thank you - especially about the social medias, I’m not putting myself out there enough, and you’re right this is the world we now live in, so let’s surf this wave instead of missing opportunities. Also about health, I can do better. Thank you I really needed that 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing your story and habits, it's inspiring and very helpful despite that I'm already a full time music producer. It's a great reminder to myself especially the consistency and posting on social media habit. Thanks again, all the best to your music, career & life !
I’ve seen alot of videos about what to do and what not to do as a music producer but THIS video really changed something within me. I can tell that you’re speaking from the experience of trial and error dude. Thanks!
i’m 21 right now, about to turn 22 at the end of the month. i’ve decided that i’m going to be a professional music producer and recording artist. i just recently learned about the importance of having a schedule when pursuing that and this video was a big help 🔥🙌 thank you for all the hard work you do!
I downloaded Ableton during my Masters as I had moved from India and didn't have many friends. I practiced for 2 years before releasing music. I made/released music between 2012-17. Got married in 2017. Haven't opened Ableton since. Made like $200 through the 20 something songs I've released.
I agree, I switched my mentality this year and made the goal just forming the right habits instead of worrying about my inconsistent results. I really need to focus more on time management this is great advice.
Hey man, thank you for making this video. It is refreshing and inspiring to see someone actually with the same aligned goals as mine. Especially when the proof is shown. This is the first video I've seen from you and Instantly subscribed. Wish you well on your continuing journey. Thank you.
BRO! You have no idea how helpful this is. I make beats and don’t post them anywhere. It’s my biggest issue. I will change that soon. But this is what I needed to hear. God bless you and wish you luck with much of your success 🙌🏿🙏🏿
This was incredibly helpful. I just discovered your channel and am already a huge fan. It’s so refreshing to see content for producers that isn’t JUST how to make beats, but talks about bouncing back from a bad day or prioritizing physical and mental health. This info is so valuable 🙏🏻
