You’re videos are helping me gain some confidence and release music. I’m not sure I have any “opportunities”. Video all about creating/finding opportunities?
My girlfriend is a musician and has been holding onto an album she did with warner music for a long time. She keeps thinking she needs a ton of money for marketing but I think the music speaks for itself. How to you help an artist get out of their own way?
@@Musformation Thank you! So far as I know she trusts me and I have been chipping away at this mentality. I got her to agree to release her next single next month but it felt like pulling teeth. She is afraid to be indie haha
There are a lot of bands that have got really far with really stupid names (hoobastank, Panic! at the disco) or just use super simple things that you dont really think about after a while (Dave mathews band). I'd suggest just going into spotify and typing in things untill you find a name you can outrank people with. Like I dont think i'm going to use Kingz Quarters for when i release my music, since there is no way when someome types the word "king" in, that i will show up over Kings of leon, King von, or any of the other million artists with king in their name. There is a good example where a guy is named Kxng crooked but still pronounces it as "King", but when you type in "Kx" he is the first thing that pops up allways
Like yes it’s true that tons of dumb names have gotten far but for as long as it doesn’t hold you back do your best to make a good decisions that helps you not hurts you. And that right there is the TLDR of the video
@@Musformation They clearly spent some money on gear! (can't help my inner gear nerd getting excited). Was someone you were working with recording there?
@@Musformation That's awesome! I was kinda hoping you'd mention a band for that spreadsheet... Speaking of which... How long does that take to auto-send when someone subscribes to your list? ;)
Great vid but a bit of feedback is its very distracting for the viewer if you dont maintain your eye contact with the camera and keep looking away, i dont know if you are reading bullet points or looking at yourself. I invested in a teleprompter for this reason its on amazon $99 well spent you put your ipad or phone down flat and it reflects the text onto glass infront of your cam! Just a tip! Thanks!
hi Jesse, thanks for all the great content it's helping a lot. at one point circa 2015 I used one of those apps to follow a lot of people on Instagram so that they would follow you back and I got around 15k followers that way. Then I stopped promoting myself on IG entirely for years and the follower count decreased to 8k.. I'm elaborating a release plan for my next singles based on what I've learned from this channel Do u think I should keep using my IG account with 8k even tho the engagement is almost null? Or start fresh with a new account?
maybe for the assignment you could have been a little more clear, like, First I want you to do the swat analysis, keep it simple only do max 1- point each. Step 2, focus on your threats and oppertunities first, etc.

So, I wrote this out a month ago after watching this and I just went back to it and I was able to update it with positive results. SO MOTIVATING. 💪💪💪
FUCK YEAH!
Love the way you teach. The 3 real band analyses really helped too
love that you're into Choking Victim and Leftover Crack! they were a big influence on our sound!
I produced their records!
The frontman of the 1975 is simultaneously the bands greatest assent and their biggest liability 😂
A tale as old as time
great video, and a great book, finally I found someone with realistic advise for emerging artists, what you are doing is big, thanks!
Really appreciate that
So useful. Keep the vids comin!
Appreciate that
This is so helpful thank you so much
Great stuff, so much key info packed in every video. Very good work bro!
Self reflection is key! Thanks so much
That’s right
Great video, thanks for this! Now for some hard self reflection, lol.
Thank you for this guide and teaching
Spot on info. Thanks!
🕺🏼

Yeah go to my channel page and look at the playlist on how to get your music noticed
you should make a discord chat for this as well

Super complicated question but largely I think you need to find someone they trust to talk them out of it

@@derekjones1556 Is she likely to be sued by Warner?
Wait, is "can't get any worse" a strength?
Dude. You're the shit.
Awesome video
Appreciate that
Hey Jesse do you have any videos about choosing an artist name for a new project? Seems i’m always getting stuck with this early part of the process

so many music, is it possible to listen to all it
Nope
Godd*mn! Do these guys have an entire console and studio in an apartment? I'm jealous! Couldn't even focus on the content because of jealousy :P
This studio is in way upstate ny
@@Musformation They clearly spent some money on gear! (can't help my inner gear nerd getting excited). Was someone you were working with recording there?
I was actually hired to record the studio owner to help him make the space sound better

how would you go about this list for a hip hop or rap artist??
In the same way he did

This videos over a year old I did exactly that!

I’ve seen no evidence of banning accounts or shadow banning of anyone who did bits back then. Keep the audience
