How has it gone in the past year? When you made the I think 60 second required Tik Tok video did you have to do a comical take as it seems you must in order to get attention? I mean do a crazy dance as you sing etc or can you just simply sing? I don't have a band, just myself and guitar and sometimes harmonica too, and piano. I just went to your channel and can't find any of your songs but a lot of vocal training videos. You aren't really a songwriter and performing original songs so the Tik Tok video you created was to attract people into your baritone vocalist lessons? How have Damian's techniques worked for you?

Great video.

Greta job man, breaking down the process here. Sooo many people have no idea how to do this, and its VERY important now in the post-record label age. Labels did everything for us before, (unfortunately,) and now we need t learn to do it all ourselves. Production no longer costs a ridiculous amount, advertisement doesn't either, booking isn't very hard either. But if you have no clue how to even start, then you will never get there. I really feel like most people just need a starting point and a tiny bit of guidance, just to get them running in the right direction, then If they're dedicated they'll run it the rest of the way. For years I've been looking for the insight that's in this channel, so really, thanks dude you're a credit to the industry!

We are living in a very strange times for artists ! I myself am a musician (classical) and a composer ! I’m definitely going to try this ! I do think though that people now a days see (as you say) so much content in a day … I think at the end of the day they don’t even remember what they’ve seen ! As evil as the music industry has been throughout the years and we all know by now , they had a structure of how to get out to the public with the ‘actual big artists’ from the past as we know them ! I think those days are over of that kind of stardom… maybe I’m wrong but… time will tell…

This guy is an angel…. I’m going 1 song per month with everyday content for 2024…. So this is most needed

We can't even call these tips, it's a blueprint! Let's do it! We're definitely getting into the cover world 🎵🎶. My mind is buzzing with ideas 💡⚡💡 including U2 bits just for the flavor! We're working on a long version, but in the meantime we can release small bits. Makes so much sense! Thanks as always xoxo. Simone

Hey Damian, I've been struggling with this question: what if you're not sure of the quality of your music, would you still say that following a plan like this could be beneficial? I guess it does give you feedback on the music and it's still putting yourself out there, just kinda scared of embarrassing myself you know.

Thanks for the awesome video! Is this plan mostly just recommended for implementation on tik Tok? And/or for example maybe a new artist has a FB, IG and tik tok - is this plan just meant to be used via one social media artist profile page (eg only tik tok) or should the same daily content be getting posted to multiple different social media artist profiles/pages (eg post the same exact daily content to tik tok, IG and FB) or something in between, like doing daily tik tok posts but maybe every other day or so on the other social media platforms? If that question might make any sense haha

The covers part is true!! I covered a song by Lana Del Rey last year that has millions of streams across platforms and recently covered another one of her songs and have amassed almost 300k streams in two months alone. Covers are your friend!

Damian, do you mean upload full length covers or short versions of covers, like 20 seconds as tiktok usually is?

Hi Damian. Thank u for useful info 🎉 My question is: CAN I PUBLISH TIK TOK VIDEO, THEN COPY VIDEO FROM THERE AND POST TO IG AND KZread? I think it could save a lot of time instead doing same text above video. Thank you 😊

Yo Damian, when you say "make a Cover song" do you mean like an acoustic live version where there's less chance of a strike or lawsuit? I watched the copyright video from you from 2 yrs ago twice, but am still unsure what I can and cant do. Have so many great lyrical remixes but cant use them because of the original 'instrumental' if I replace that its basically a complete new song, so where's the sweet spot? Ty 🥴
