I really dig your content, however, the way you talk about sotrytelling makes me suffer a little, like someones trying to inflate something non essential, like you think Im stupid and my time is worth nothing and you are just spoon feeding me cheap emotions. I know thats not your intention, but I and everyone I talk to is fed up with the content modality. Paradoxically, I can see that it works like a charm for many artists. Id love to be able to make better things. Is it really a necessity to talk like that, to sell those kind of stories? I really appreciate your work and take many things out of your videos, but I felt that starting that conversation with people form your community is valuable. Not a native speaker, so sorry if Im not clear

It takes Money, Success, Fame and Glamour.

7:36 not as easy as you’re saying, you still need to figure out how to make an effective ad. It’s not as easy as you say.

2:09 kids, as someone who was chewed up and spit out by the music industry in nashville, and now am fighting to get my love of music back 12+ years later - DONT GO TO A LABEL - you WILL get shelved.

Nowadays Id rather sleep than go to a local gig

The short version of the video is.... Hey buy my book!

15:18 talk about you breaking copyright laws. in your own words you found a way

again, as far as I know, human beings are drawn to story telling since we lived in caves at least.. it's a primordial thing

Time is money - everything takes time to learn and/or to do, so ultimately you have to pay with your time or for the time of someone else. That goes for guitar setups, mix , master, making tshirts.. anything in life.

less than 10% with a label damn that's really small

👍 dude

We know that you earn more by the longer we stay and listen. But can you make it more compact anyway?

Is that a tele deluxe I see there on the wall? Also, fantastic video man. Been studying marketing separately to figure out how to support a music career, but this video really helps contextualize a lot of it!

really like your information! We are releasing new singles on all streaming platforms every two weeks, doing heavy content output on socials, and pushing a large merch line on our website. It is a tough nut to crack no matter how you do it man. But thank you for what you are doing

🙏 you speak my language

A great video! Thank you so much 😊

Business isn't bad. The people running them are. You, however, do not have to be.

People always tell me i sound like Alice in Chains. I dont hear it but I love AIC so totally cool with me! Haha

I know exactly what products you are talking about 😂

Deep and very on point! so many should do it as a hobby, nothing wrong in that, in fact that's how a lot of music gear is sold..If their why is shallow and materialistic, then expect the worst, when music as an art should be held as the 'highest form of expression' and artists should look deep inside and ask themselves what they are willing to fight for, and sacrifice long term for. Only a few out of many can do this, and act on it, because of lack of internal work. 'When a vision is not acted upon, it's a daydream, action without vision is a nightmare!'

I am not a musician and I am not sure how this video arrived on my feed. But I do love music so I still have a question. Do you think that expectations today are realistic? Going way way back. I am a big fan of The Allman Brothers Band. They formed in 1969 so they fall under that golden era of American bands. In 1970, only their second year as a band they spent 300 days of that year on the road touring. They all lived in one big house together and made their name on the road like traveling gypsies. Even later after they had some success they brought a farm together and all lived in the country together on a farm. They have a famous album cover where it shows them all together with their road crew and wives and girlfriends and kids all on the farm together. Basically living a commune like existence. I know today is not 1970 and it is a very different time. But are musicians today putting in the time and sacrifice that musicians of the past did?

One of my mentors insisted that although he didn't insist on or care about what religion a person subscribed to, he believes it is impossible for an atheist to last in the music business, because you must believe a divine power wants you to be involved in it or you aren't going to persevere. I don't agree, but I understand. Regarding alignment, If one feels it is bad to have a money making business, one's goals must be based on something other than money, right?

I like your business chat

Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.

these videos are a gold mine of infomation thanks a lot for this and keep this up, would love to see a video on being a good band leader, im in a prog band and im the most skilled player in my band and im the one who writes all the songs (not because i dont let the other huys write, just because im the only one who can write and sometimes i lose patience when the other guys cant learn their parts lool, any advice? would love to see a video on that topic, i know is not very much a business topic, but yeah would love hear your words on that

16:06 it’s sustainable or specific :)

Released a single two Fridays ago and it’s our best performing song and I can’t stop checking Spotify stats qnd the ads that were running. Honestly it’s just nice to have something working. It is addicting.

The “business” of music made me quit music for a good 8 years and I’m just now getting back up on the horse, so to speak.

Cool! I'll listen to this tomorrow properly while doing my day job.

Come on be honest, talking about music and drama overperforms music, this is happening in every other art niche too, people are consuming personalities that are getting into drama and every once in a while there is a super hit but if we are talking views it is driven by wwe fake people for the most part

I agree 100% and I've been telling people this for over a decade. Good video.

Thank you Mabradah. ..💯❤👌

Great stuff as always.

Man, This content is pure gold. Really appreciate the work you're putting. That example of acting the same way as if we were sending a video to our best friend is a game changer. I really hope you grow more and reach massive success with the channel. Cheers!

Good work! Thanks

As usual, thanks for the good video 🫡

Awesome !!!!!!

Ignite

Excellent video, all artist should practice self worth prior to making music. That energy will bleed into any performance!

Project the positive and not the negativity. That's so true. Looking for the positivity and getting rid of the negativity. Also being ready for anything at the live show. Bad things do happen. Be prepared for the bad things.

Pleased to visit another very informative vid from You Dax. Thank u so much for your efforts and dearly valuable advice on marketing. I ve lost a chunk of years thinking about music and business the wrong way, wich has left me relying too much on musical talent and idealism, instead of being practical and do better by developing a mentality for business. And i noticed i had a potential talent to tap onto. Your conviction is contagious, and the job you're doing for us, your viewers, all off that s very much appreciated and comendable. All the best for You Dax.

This video sparked a lot of conversations with even visual artists.

Sounds like me🤦🏾‍♂️🙈..i need change

☝️ great thinking

If Joe pays 10$ to Spotify per month and only ever listens to my music, those 10$ are still distributed mostly to major artists, instead of going to the artists he listens to. That is unfair and there is no way to talk it down. This system was also forced upon Spotify by major labels.

"...and then just hans-zimmer all over it" 👌👏😄🎉

Amazing insights. Im already on the case with this, but it's never a subject that I can't learn more about, and I thank you for that.

Incredible video

this is a great video, thanks man for your perspective. this is what many people (including me) often forget
