How Much Do Music Producers Make, How much does a hit song pay you, how to make money as a music producer, How much do music producers get paid, how much do music producers earn
Ask me anything you guys want in the comments and I'll answer every question!
You ever gonna release music as an artist like Benny Blanco or Kenny Beats?
@@ProdByJira Would love to! Hopefully I can do that through this channel. Right now I have to pay my bills with type beats. But hopefully as this grows I can use this as my main source of income and use it as a platform to promote my own albums.
What are the legal things to do before uploading and selling a beat? And how to do so...
@@all-stargamingentertainmen1157 not much you need to do, just have a tagged version, untagged and the stems and upload to Beatstars or however you choose to sell
If you use a sample in a beat, can I still use the beat for non-profit on SoundCloud without clearing the sample?
How this man managed to fit all this info in under 5 mins is immaculate 😭🙏🏽
Haha thanks bro! No time wasted, I was ruthless with the editing
Mans shoulda been a teacher, mfs can't teach these days.
@@knives5964 Love this comment man, it something I care a lot about, because I know how hard it was for me to gather all this information myself.
@@DillyDGIByeah man you did well i’m impressed
It's incredible how you managed to explain such a confusing topic in such a simple way - great stuff man 🙏
Thanks bro, I tried!
Facts earned a subscribe!
If you produce 10 hit songs with 1% cut .. You're set for life
True! This isn't even counting radio play, which can be a multiplier on a radio friendly song
Espically if u can rap on your on beat and make it a more hit then u are more set
@@thegamingzone5963 yeah then you own everything. Like Russ, he gets everything a lot of the time. Which is insane
@@DillyDGIB that's wat am trying to do now but I have a poor vocabulary.making beats is more easier .
@@thegamingzone5963 don’t limit yourself. Reading books is a good way to expand your vocabulary.
I swear the best thing to do is be independent, build your own brand everywhere (youtube, insta, spotify) and just work that consistently then make music with artists and get 50/50 splits for example, non major artists pulling in say 500k monthly listeners I swear you'll be alright
That would actually be 🔥 do you know if anyone doing that?
@@DillyDGIB Young Multi is an independent polish rapper. He has around 500k monthly listeners
Primo Beats
Doesn't Mustard do that?
@@DillyDGIBi do it lol

I've been a full time music producer for a couple years now without fully understanding this stuff and this is the most helpful video about the topic I've ever seen 🔥
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
@@737simviator🤦
All producers need to wake up one day and realize there is nothing without them. Not be greedy, but leverage more for themselves. Again, there is no "music business" without the "music".
10000% or they need to start building platforms like Metro has. You’re spot on
This is why producers need to understand the distinction between the music and the business!
I've seen so many producers left empty handed by the labels because of their constructions on how they create a maze of pie cuts that basically rolls back into the labels pockets...
I think it's important to contextualize. 1 to 5 points on the master recording applies when it was a work for hire or if the beat sold to an artist/label. However, when a bearmaker collaborates with an artists, the segmentation of the pies is very different. It most likely start at 50/50 for each. Generally, those who "finance" the recording own the masters...
Thank u for explaining it in a way that doesn’t make my brain numb!!!
That was my goal! I tried making a boring confusing topic as entertaining and as clear as possible.
Commonly tackled subject but love your angle and presentation. Good stuff man!
Thanks bro! I've seen some of the other videos, for the bigger ones I feel like it was over simplified, so I tried to show the whole picture, as best as I could.
i love when the title of a video is a question and the answer is "it depends" with barely any elaboration
The key is to make everything fresh dont used samples 😂😂
Probably why producers are scared to use loops with 5 loopmakers on it
Facts, that always gets weird. I’ve done deals where it gets subdivided into producer pies, and the drum guy/guy who got the placements gets 50% of the cut and the loop makers split the other 50%
Woah thats a steep cut on producers income....considering the contribution of a producer in a song i think its unfair what they get out of the deal...I've yet to hear about a producer who made fair income out of his production for big artist...or am i wrong...Whats your opinion Dilly?
It's tough to say, the publishing is where it's at for a producer, but you need radio hits. I couldn't include radio play in here, because there's no public data about that. But Radio pays out in publishing and it's 50% so if you produced a radio friendly hit, you're in good shape. I bet OZ got a couple m's from radio play on Toosie Slide
I think the master should maybe be 10-20% imo, but it's fair that the artists get the majority of the cut because they built the platform, which is arguably the toughest thing to do. A lot of people have great music, very few have massive audiences.
@@DillyDGIB ohh ok thats a good point...fair enough i guess..
I'm not a producer or a musician but I find these videos so interesting, thanks for sharing. Love your channel, you deserve way more subs!
That’s awesome! What do you do out of curiosity? I would have thought my content would be super music producer specific
Im self taught musician I learn independently
thank you for explaining this in such an easy to understand way, its extremely simple to understand, most videos make things complicated, thank you
U make the best videos on music industry
Thanks bro! I try 🙏
Not a producer but this video is super dope, I’m currently learning Accy in college and the way you show the cuts, the factors, and the splitting is really spot on. Great video
great video. had me entertained the whole way thru
we deserve more bruh we b carrying whole songs most of the time
So basically if you arent producing top 10 hits for artists like Drake or Travis you arent making that much 😕. I think the top producers on youtube and beatstars make the same amount of money or more
That’s mostly true, I know a handful of guys making 6 figures off a few platinum hits. But yeah when the market is good beatstars can earn more, except for the top guys.
The other thing this video didn’t take into account is radio play which is a major boost to publishing $ unfortunately I don’t think those #’s are public
Ayy been waiting for an upload from u for a long time, dope to have u back!🙌
Thanks! Aiming for more regular uploads from now on.
Thanks for the breakdown Dilly! 🙂
No problem Nick! Thanks for supporting everything!
❤️
This is a huge motivator‼️
Was starting to think you weren’t coming back G. 💯
Never leaving again bro! Gonna be trying to make great videos weekly/bi-weekly
i love this! this would be a great playlist for you.. doing hit songs.. great content!
Amazing video bro. Very clear!
Thanks bro!
One thing holding small artist down is that they always think you need a big budget to make music. For me all you need to do is to consistently drop music videos
Im glad you are back!
Back for good!
Really good video. My one critique though, is a lot of producers established big name brand established ones can sometimes demand higher % of ownership of a record especially in regards to the Master. Southside has been vocal on how he takes typically 50% of everything.
Really? that’s crazy if he’s able to do that. Did he say that in an interview? If so do you know which one? I’d love to check it out
Thank you! This video was insightful.
Thanks for watching!
quality video sir dilly thanks for this one
Thanks for watching bro!
Great video bro this definitely helps paint the picture more clearly in my head
People who think producers get too small of a cut need to know a couple missed facts. Producers are almost always paid upfront as well, they bear no risk. And not all, but most producers do not contribute to selling the song, that lies on the singer's promotion.
Now I finally understand why Metro Boomin want some more
He’s technically an artist at this point so he’s getting majority in the way that DJ Khaled does. He’s killing it
bro got straight to the point no time wasted
Giving 5 % isn't fair to the producer. Without the music producer the song won't even exist. Thanks to metro booking and chuki beats who are changing that now, their names being added in the song credits ,I am assuming that their share will be higher too.
Wonder how did they come up with the no of 5 %
Facts, those guys as well as DJ Khaled are changing the game. If you have a name for yourself as a producer that changes everything
@@neoray9302 I would imagine it’s the lowest the producers would accept. It seems like all this negotiating stuff is made up and it’s all about the leverage people have.
I needed this thanks a bunch
No problem bro!
nice video bro! Really nice production quality!
Thanks!
Hey Dilly, I just wanted to ask, if the editor position is still available, I've already applied thorough the Application, but never got a confirmation e-mail, so I was just curios about that.
Other than that, thank you again for all the hard work and inspiration, you've left us with!
Cheers!
This is really good information bro thanks💜
When are you going to do “how to mix and master on Ableton” tutorials...? we really need that...!!😭🙏🏾
I’ll get that info out there somehow, not sure if it makes sense for a video, not clickable enough unfortunately. It’s super subjective every genre mixes different and people have different taste. It’s also more simple than a lot of people think, it’s just sound selection and volume levels and over time you learn how loud stuff should be
so what i learned is: you have to produce a hit song all by yoursel so you dont have to split with 30 other people (writers, loopmakers, mixing, mastering etc). I wonder how often that happens with popular songs, when i check on spotify they always have several producers listed..........
This Video Is Just PERFECT!!!
Its one thing to make a song making money and its another on how you spend and save the money that determines how you live .... Financial literacy is everything .
💯💯💯
That’s little money. You can make the same money or more per year being a software engineer, regional manager of a large company, mechanical engineer, a store manager of Target, consultant, project manager, electrician, welder, general contractor, etc.
Yeah but think about the time spent doing each, making 1 hit song or working a 9-5 for 40 hours a week for 50+ weeks a year…
Thank you for that tool, so dope!!!
No problem, thanks for watching!

Great video Dilly! At 1:15, you show that Sicko Mode had about 2.5B streams on all streaming platforms, is that an estimation or is there a way to know how many streams a song got across all platforms? Thanks!
It's an estimation. The way I got that is I took the spotify streams (You can find that on the desktop version) and then I took the ratio of apple music users to spotify users and multiplied it by that ratio to estimate how many streams.
DillyGotItBumpin🔥🔥keep going fam, you got this! Also make your videos 10minutes, so you can get paid more.
That’s a good idea, I want to be careful to not bore everyone though so I want each thing to be purposeful and entertaining and not drag it out
@@DillyDGIB True, whatever works best.
Great Video! How much do you reckon OZ would've got in an "Advance Fee" 👀😂? Love the breakdown you did with publishing and master splits, I would love a video where you break it down more! (producer points, mechanical roaylties, performance etc.) It's all a bit confusing !
Im going to take a wild guess here, but 20-50k I would imagine for the advance. I know of producers getting that. Not a lot. I’ll definitely do more of this!
Thats about right. Plus the fixed fee they charge the label or artist per production, mix, mastering. OZ`s fee im sure is pretty high up there.
Good point! Yeah from what I heard they really run up the advance, like you said. Which makes sense
THIS IS SUCH A COOL VIDEO BROTHER.
Assuming youre working 1-1 with an artist its usually a safe 50/50 assuming you havent used samples etc.
It’s possible, everything is flexible I think the big factor here would be who if anyone has a platform. Usually they have the leverage if you’re both promoting, 50/50 sounds right, if the artist is doing most of the promo maybe 80/20 or something. Another variable is how hands on are you for producing.
Great video bro 🔥
Thanks for watching 💯
So basically producers get a rappers chain for every billion views lmao
GOAT 🙌🏼
What up Preston!
@@DillyDGIB glad to see you still crushing the game!! Keep it up
Great video bro!
Thanks bro!
publishing is split differently. 50% writers and 50% producers
thx for this video bro!
Of course!
I have two questions
1. Am a musical producer and am also an artiste, I use distrokid as my distributor for releasing music and also for collecting split, is that enough or I still need so sort of written agreement?
2. As a producer of a song, how much should be collected as an upfront and how much percentage should also be collected?
Recording artist and record label has no buisness on the publishing side, that goes 100% to the songwriters / producers and their pub admins. Only time a recording artist gets publishing is if they themselves wrote something, change a word get a third as they say, record label only if they adminster publishing as well. Wich most often isn't the case in most producers / songwriters single deal with a record label.
Just Subscribed, Can't wait to see more
Thanks bro!
In Europe its completely diff, we have a publishing and it gets split into 100% of text/songwriting and 100% composition, 1 mio streams are around 4k ( one stream = 0,004 euro from Spotify) so 4k are given to songwriting and composition. and on top there comes if it got played on the radio, shows, clubs etc. and on top there are other streaming platforms where they pay even more than Spotify (Spotify pays the less). Stay consistent and it'll pay of, because if you have more songs that generate streams you'll get paied a good amount every 3 months.
Dude you don't need to hold a blue yeti. You could put the thing on a stand at the side of your desk out of view and it would pick you up lol
Yeah that's true, I know too much about mics, but I got a Shure and it sounds a lot cleaner now.
Bro that calculator is an amazing idea!
NBA, football, NFL and F1 are where the money is; become an athlete or crony capitalist who works their way to C-suite via the conventional route (newsflash college is mandatory, contrary of what these so-called get rich quick scheme gurus spew) The money men are the ones making money in the music/entertainment industry. They have a conveyor belt that never stops; artists are an unlimited supply of products for these glorified financiers.
What if u want money from the master
You have a couple of options, you go DJ Khaled and become “the artist” where you get majority of the master or you negotiate for a higher percentage, you need a lot of clout to do that, or you work with smaller independent artists
Will you continue doing content like this? I really find these types of videos intresting
Like how much do producers make?
This video was perfect. Only one thing that I need to understand still. How big must a song be to generate e.g. 1 million dollars through radio play?
I wish I could have included, I have no idea tbh, there’s no public data about radio play as far as I know. However I know that’s where big producers actually get the majority of their $
Imagine what artists like Tyler, the Creator would make since he writes and produces almost every song he makes.
Yeah, people like him, Russ and Prince do crazy well.
This seems extremely unfair to me considering that the beat makes up half of the entire song and the artist makes up the other half of the song. VERY fucked up industry
Yeah I definitely think producers should be going for more, I think it's a situation where the labels and artists have figured out what they can get away with. However I do believe the artist/label should get more of a percentage than the producer, because even though the producer may contribute 50% of the sound, the platform that the artist/label has built is super valuable and that gives them a lot of leverage.
great vid btw!
Thanks for watching!
Did you consider that OZ could be a credited writer on Sicko Mode? Great video overall!
YOUR KNOWLWEDGE IS INSANE
Thanks bro!
LOL WHAT!!! Sicko Mode has THIRTY writers?! That's just wild.
Oh yeah, really dope video! Thanks for the knowledge
And the lyrics are pretty basic
haha OZ DEFNITELY didnt take 1% of pub for that record bro. Anywhere between 10%/15% sounds more realistic to me.
Also, and what about PRO money?
You could be right, but idk, there was 30+ people to split it with. Also a lot of samples so usually the people being samples have a lot of leverage in the situation.
I believe PRO’s (Performance Rights Organization) are under the umbrella of publishing, if anyone who knows better sees this, feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
@@DillyDGIB For instance, both of these records probably got insane radio spins (PRO). Worldwide at that.
Also, usually, pub is split 50/50. So 50% was to be shared between the producers (not ALL writers) of Sicko Mode. The other 50% would go towards the lyrics side.
And what to think of synchs?
In other words, OZ probably made waaay more than projected.
@@BeatsWithHooks Ohh yeah, I did think about that. If you pause the videos on the total made off each song, I actually have a disclaimer about this. Radio play probably did increase his total
@@BeatsWithHooks The big money comes from radio and festivals/tours of the artists.
So... Are you basically saying that if you make a tune... Every sample you use in the tune, The original creator of that sample gets a slice of the pie?... Like that's how come Sicko Mode earnings got so diluted down? Cos so many (30) different original sample creators were involved?....
Is wrong the way that you calculate de royalties. The producer give a % of the artist royalties, not for the top. If the artist has a 80/20 deal (like a major record deal), the producer will receive a 5% or whatever % of the 100% of the 20% of the artist royalties, after the label recuperate the expenses.
This is what I thought too. Usually it's recouped from the artists split, not the total.
It gets complicated, you can only go so deep without getting in to individual cases. Every record deal is negotiated and different depending on leverage so I figured this info is better than no info and covers the basics.
w video w kidsuper shirt!
Thanks bro, you re brand the channel?
Crazy the ones that are making the big money are the rappers/singers themselves when they go on the road.
Gems 💎
Thanks for watching!
Wait im a bit confused about the split of the publishing on Sicko Mode.
I thought its 50% to the composers (instrumental) and 50% to the authors (lyrics).
So that composers of a song share on that 50% and authors share on the other 50%
Good information. What was it like before youtube & other platforms existed?
Producers/songwriters should make just as much as the artists if the artists didnt write the some themselves. A lot of artists nowadays wouldn’t be anything without their musically inclined counterparts
Hard 🔥
Thanks bro! 🐐
Great info 🙏🙏
goat bro
I'm a producer and if I have one featured artist. Their only allowed 50 percent. If I have 2 featured artists, they both only get 25 percent while I get 50 percent
Producers need to stop selling exclusive rights, make their up front charge less or none at all, and actually help out with everything else that comes with making a song popular, seems like they get dogged but they don’t have to pay for promotion, label fees, and they don’t have to show up to any shows… also writers don’t charge them for lyrics, so if an artist gotta pay everything up front, of course your back end gonna look like how much you invested at the start
He made 130k, taxes not included in about 4 years, which means: 130k/4=32.5(remember, without considering taxation) composing one of the most famous hip hop song of history..... Loool
Can you do an Arrangement Tutorial pls I struggle with this alot
youtube is not masters. it is mechanical publishing. you have mechanical publishing and just publishing. you also got sound recording
I really appreciate this video!
I'm confused, How these top edm DJ+Producers like Calvin Harris, Chainsmokers, Martin Garrix and so on make so much money with that very low 1-5% rate?
They are producers, not artists, right?
Also, after watching this video,
I guess the reason why Chainsmokers don't do collabs with singers anymore and Andrew from Chainsmokers take vocal role when majority of people on the internet do not appreciate his vocal skills,
To fit that Artist part and maximize profits.
as far as i know, if the producers release the music by himself. for instance, Calvin Harris release summer, he is considered the artist AND the producer at the same time. and for Slide by calvin harris, he still the artist since the vocalist are only featured in. featured artist get different cut.
Yeah so that’s the thing because they’re the artist and producer on those songs they own the whole thing (except maybe a label cut) so for example if Calvin Harris did sickomode he would have gotten the majority of that 10.5million

If you’re looking for help it’s there on the internet, you have to learn where the money is and do that above anything, your creative ability doesn’t inherently matter your business knowledge and ability to have conversations and appeal to others sensibilities is what gets you paid. There are hundreds of producers and artists making more than you’ll ever make with a fraction of the talent you have and it’s because they figured out the business, where they fit in the market and they went 100%. if you’re sitting in a comment section asking for help you simply need to take matters into your own hands stop acting like somebody will help you.
