I think this was really insightful. I'm a decent singer / songwriter / musician but I'm always trying to grow and learn. I've done the bar circuit here in Maine with covers for the past 3 years and that was nice but it got stale and I got burned out. I've switched gears and I'm focusing on original songs, my back catalog which is growing, being more candid with my fans and scheduling shows performing just my originals. I love playing lead so I'm going to use the tracks I have from my album stripped down into backing tracks. I was always against using backing tracks as opposed to a band but finding band mates that are reliable is impossible and I can keep creative control this way. I always watch your videos and try to implement some of what I learn. Thanks for everything you do Adam!

Totally same!! This guy is also 🎯♥️🙌🏼

I think us artists types can do both: 1. Build that business up as much as you can. Then when you feel you've got a good solid fanbase... 2. Put out that album you've been pouring your heart into and throw in extras, merch, tour, etc.

Absolutely. At the end of the day we have total freedom to do what we want with our music. Good or bad.

Great info!! Thanks for the advice!!

Great video Adam thank you for laying this out so clearly for us!

My goals are to consistently release my beats every week for the rest of the year! Awesome video!

So much useful information here, I'm feeling really amped up to go out and make music. Over the next six months I plan to release about 8 songs on my main project and some more on side projects. I'm gonna check back in here July 1st 🤞

hey Adam, I typically comment on videos or even usually subscribe but man I am so happy I found this video. Its so hard listening to “music marketing geniuses” that typically give out the same old advice and just want you to purchase there course. I truly felt like the both of you in this video cared and want to help people succeed. This video was very real and authentic and refreshing to hear a voice of a person actively doing it along with your perspective. I took notes on this video and I think the main takeaways for me was 1. take care of the people that care and 2. have songs ready to release. My goals this 2024 is to have a song hit 10 K streams organically and to get to 10 K on instagram. Once again, thank you man seriously, you gained a subscriber and new fan. I’m on the verge of releasing my first song in about a year and very excited. Take Care

I love the goals you've set and I appreciate you watching. Keep in mind that Nic D is sharing his path and what he does, but that doesn't mean it's the right path for everyone especially just starting out. I know sometimes it seems like marketing specialists give out "same old advice", but it's usually because it's foundational and it works. When it comes to courses, coaching, books, and other guidance I wouldn't turn a blind eye to those things either. Most times we offer a course (I do have a paid program as well) because we can really only share the beginner information on KZread and the more intricate and advanced guidance requires individualized follow up questions and answers which we can't do on KZread because of the time and attention required. I'm just speaking for myself though.

This interview makes logical sense to me. Solid advice here. thank you.

Thanks for posting, this is the first video I EVER seen that helps bridge the gap…very informative. I’m habla again 👍🏽

So glad I just seen this video. I’m planning a monthly , 2 song rollout. Using this time to really analyze and learn the content game. Thank yall so much I’ll check back in in September with results !

Fantastic interview. Thank you Adam & Nic.

This is gold. Bollywood has been great, and counting, but the moment you also start "doing your own stuff" is when shite gets real lol. After 20 indie songs, I feel like I'm finally able to JUST graze a finger over what Nic implies by "taking care of the viewer". Huge thanks @adam ivy for your consistent value addition. Appreciate you! 💖

Great one. Nic really inspired and changed my perspective with his Kyle beats interview. Appreciate both of you 👊

This gotta be the best video i've watched in about 2 years or more. last year i spent so much time building my catalog and was overlooking the content need of music artists today and when it clicked that i needed content somewhat more than the music to build a FOLLOWING i looked at my catalog and it sent me into a mental crisis. the songs are great but when it came to HOW WOULD I MARKET THEM (content) i collapsed. but i've recently gotten out of that and decided that instead of trying to fit the music ; make the music fit me. Make music that's the most authentic to me instead of what can get a sync. i'm pretty versatile in what i do so that's what had me stuck but i have a country song releasing next month that i plan to implement all of this and get 1 million streams at least on within the first 3 months ! This was confirmation to the things that i've been telling other music friends but not applying myself. JUST BE YOU!! See you in 3 months 🙌🏽 thanks Adam and Nic !

Inspiring and definitely what I needed. I’m 33, travelling and getting inspiration from nature for my music. I’m becoming the artist I always felt I was meant to be but scared of pursuing it.
