Good video Rob. The first word you used to describe your music was "fearless" - can you explain that. What about your music makes you, as an artist, fearless? Thanks bud.
@@SmartRapperTV Of course loco, what kind of person would i be if i didnt gave credit to the ones that one way or other gave a hand... , you got a friend on mexico
@@SmartRapperTV My first thought was of the California Stockton rappers, they are so sick🎶 but I don't think they are using their brand correctly, you feel me?
Just paused the video wrote the questions and answers thank you for helping me and others understand the importance of those things i fw producers and artist like you who help people and are supportive rather then hate and only care bout what they doing need more people like you in this wrld
Until I was watching this video I have created my symbol, found a few archetypes, choose colors that represent me, my message to people. Thanks it was the most useful video I have ever seen. Coz it took me a few min to structure my thoughts that already have existed in my mind. And u made me to write it and paint on paper. Grateful. 🙏 I have a question, does my message have to be connected with a logo? Or I just can take my initials for the logo? Can I take 3 colors to brand myself or is it better to choose one?
Ideally your message would be connected to your logo, but it doesn't have to be. It'll be more creative and unique if it was rather than just your initials, but when starting out anything is good. And you can use more than 1 color but it's easier if you kept it to one.
Hey man, I really enjoy the videos you put out! I d be happy if you could show us a few artist on IG or some other platform that are perfectly branded! Keep kicking it fam

How can an independent artist find them experts to work with ?
