Hey Sabrina. I am a 74 year old composer/arranger/musician in New Zealand with a long and often awarded career. I was a very early adopter of computers in music, especially for someone born in the first half of the 20th century (just). I was a Logic user before it was even called Logic. Your rapid-fire Logic videos are, hands down, the BEST Logic educational products out there. Zero BS, intensive deep dives that assume the listener REALLY wants to learn something. I recommend them constantly. You actually are the best at this.
Hey, I’m a Music business major at Berklee online and just wanted to give you props for explaining solid foundations of marketing and sales to your audience. I truly believe this is the bread and butter that most musicians and creators are missing and I love how you explain/taught on the concepts of sales and marketing. Keep doing your thing! 😉
Thank you Seids. I recently heard Steve Martin's recipe for success: "Be so good they can't ignore you." I love that advice, but I do think it probably worked better in the 70's. These days getting noticed requires a lot of hard work and some luck.
Thank you so much. This was a great help. I am going to watch it again and again. There was much in it. It's an inspiration that to see someone that has had the the same anxieties as me get to be happy doing their music.
@@SEIDS_ I am 42. And energy is something I miss the most. Even seeing it on someone makes me smile. Even more, when that person is someone I follow. Wish you that it stays with you for good Seids!
Well done. Have been following for a while now and it’s great to see how you’ve progressed in this journey. I was a Berklee alum who took an entirely different career path but now I’d really like to get back to creating music. You’ve inspired me that perhaps it’s possible
Fantastic journey! Really helped with understanding how to build more of an audience. It took the whole of my 20's to figure out what I wanted to do in music and find an identity in the industry so I can relate.
This is great and should be a pre-req for anyone who is looking to go to college to study music. I graduated Berklee in 1990 and thankfully have had a terrific career as a composer, music supervisor, score producer and music publisher. You are totally correct about the pie's 33.33% split. It also depends on which area of the business you choose to pursue. For anything in music business it's less about your education and more about networking, but you need to sell yourself. Both are extremely tough for introverts...which probably 80% of those that go to Berklee or other music program fall into (including myself). There are so many things that can be taught regarding this, but no one has unless you have a mentor. I thankfully had some great mentors and, as I always like to give back, I mentor now (many Berklee students as well as other schools).
Super valuable video, thanks for sharing! Just one note, if you don't mind: as a producer who does a lot of outreach, I'd argue that outreach does not equal spamming. Spamming is outreach done wrong: annoying people. Outreach done well looks a lot more like networking. Anyway, I'd love to see you make more content like this! Especially concerning mindset-it's the biggest obstacle for so many people and also the hardest to overcome.
Great video Seids. My most important class I took for my Bachelor's was a Music Business class. But you are right, most of us think that, "If I just work on my craft, then success will follow."
Hi Seids. I appreciate your honest description and reflexion about your own experience. I believe it can be very valuable for people starting their career or being in an impasse without focus. As a side note (market oriented), and expecting not to be impolite (for sure not my goal), I find that your “official photo” (that looks quite artificial) is not up to your good looking actual real presentation.
To be honest this is 100% not true. Is Mr beast marketable? Is Gary Vee marketable? Here is some tough love… Everyone is marketable! Stop making excuses for yourself! You can do it ❤
The music BUISSNESS is a mafia . If your a part of their social network your in .Talent means nothing . It really is who you know and how much you fall in with hip hop ( the reining king ) and it’s boring bass and drum monotonous so called grooves . I did sound design instead to break away from the whole music production industry ! In the process I’ve met and still collaborate with several composers for film which is so much more of a creative space . There are alternative ways to break in with what you excel in just be prepared to do something that probably won’t make you a star.👽
Well, if you ever need a few extra bucks, you do look more than a little like Taylor Swift, and I'm sure there's a pretty big market for a tribute that can actually sing.
Berklee is a good school for learning with collabing with so many talented people, and nowadays they have so many ways to teach about the music industry too, but it's really expensive 😅 and most of these things you can on your own, it might take longer, but you can

Great honesty and intelligent life advice. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I will put your thoughts into action as I have been struggling to start something in music. Thanks again
Yay!! That makes me so happy!!!

Yay!!! This makes me so happy that you enjoyed it!!
Your energy needle is pegging the maximum level in this video. And it is so nice to see!
Wow, thank you!😊
This means the world to me!!

This video was really well done. Glad I found you!
I've been telling people to check you out. You do great work, Seids. Thank you.
This is so brillant! The perfect mindset for the modern musician/creator ❤
Yes! Thank you! 🌸❤️
Excellent insights and motivation! Thank you, Sabrina! 🙏🏻

Top lady! I wish more were like you!
Saw your interview with Sanjayc, loved it. Now I have to catch up on all your videos. Great information. Thank You!
Fantastic journey! Really helped with understanding how to build more of an audience. It took the whole of my 20's to figure out what I wanted to do in music and find an identity in the industry so I can relate.
Seids, you're the greatest!
You are! Thank you for being here : )
Thanks, Seids. Definitely going to sign up for your social media course. Been watching since your early shorts. Always learned a lot.
Thank you for following along!!! I am so happy you found value from this video ❤

Yes 100% I tried to explain that in my video ❤
You're so inspirational. Thanks so much for continuing to share these helpful nuggets!
I need this... a change in career to something I enjoy doing.

_Fire Knowledge_ *@SEIDS* . *_Great path awareness for everyone_* 🎶🔥🎶🔥
You are so kind! Thank you 🙏🏻
This is an excellent video, I’m going to buy your course👍
Thanks SEIDS! That's really valuable.
Great video! I appreciate it
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching
Love sends your the best
Legend!
I’d rather listen to Bill Evan’s view of ‘making it”. Practice, enjoy the process and eventually if you are great…people will hear of you.
Mike Trout, way cool!

To be fair, you are marketable. I on the other hand

Hey Seids is that 30 days course still available I would like to take it if it's possible.
I just recently gave up, its not for everyone this game of music 😎
Well, if you ever need a few extra bucks, you do look more than a little like Taylor Swift, and I'm sure there's a pretty big market for a tribute that can actually sing.
thanks for these tips! what was the production course you took during covid?
It was on a site called learn monthly with Blanks
What DO they teach at Berklee? It seems that the most successful graduates are TH-camrs :D
What does Berklee teach you , then ?
Conducting, Counterpoint, Ear training ….
Berklee is a good school for learning with collabing with so many talented people, and nowadays they have so many ways to teach about the music industry too, but it's really expensive 😅 and most of these things you can on your own, it might take longer, but you can
new sub!!! love your page I just started using logic again and I'm learning a lot from you ty so much for the content you are beautiful and blessed🫡💯🔥
