Too much learning actually creates a zone in your life where your too afraid to make a move because its not the "best move" that you've learned through all your studying of the music industry. You will make mistakes no matter how much learning you do.
I always jumped in first and then later figured it out. It was more because of impatience but later I realized it was a good way to approach new things. And that's how I ended up having a successful career.
My advice to anyone persuing a career in music is to be prepared for lots of let down.. As magical and glorious as the media makes the life of an artist seem it is quite the opposite. My persute of this dream started when i was 5 years old and im 25 now and just barley starting to splash around in the kiddy pool, so to speak.
@ABTV عبدالله I believe it's part if being a verified artist with a distributor on youtube. I've been waiting on it for over a year and your comment just made me realize that youtube finally approved me.
@ABTV عبدالله it only shows up in comment sections. On my profile from my view the only thing that let me know that I'd been verified is that all of the content from my "Topic" page created by distribution has been merged into my main profile. It happened at some point in the last week but could have been this morning for all I know lol
@ABTV عبدالله never give up! Don't look at your art as a career until it starts paying you like one. Make art for yourself and to make statements to the public, but don't lose yourself chasing the spotlight that is only temporary if you manage to catch up with it.. most of all never forget where you come from and how you got started.
@ABTV عبدالله to be completely honest man, you're best bet is to just keep scouring the internet for guys like Mr. Ivy here and listening to everything they are willing to share but also keep in mind that once a path has been traveled down it may not be a viable road to success anymore. Basically what works for me may not work for you and vice versa. I've met a few semi famous musicians over the years and the one peice of advice they all had in common was to just create content and hope that it finds the right people. You only need a 1000 Stans in your fan club to make a liveable wage and those 1000 Stans will do more for you on publicity than any paid organization can do for you in the beginning. I've only got a couple stans but because of those guys my music has been played in 15 countries in the last year. I'm no where near making a living wage but I can see my numbers growing everyday. My follower count has near doubled in the last 3 months. And I released my first official track almost 2 years ago. Even Adam Ivy made a video talking about how it took 10 years of solid dedication before he made any real money off of music.. if you would like you can add me on snapchat and I'll be more than happy to share the information I've gained over my time pursuing this dream. I'm mostly an open book and always try to help when I can. @jptheproduct13
I’ve been in his position and I think I still am. It can be frustrating when you want to grow in something. I make music myself and I find myself wondering if I should look for a mentor. I would love to have one and if I can find one I will have one. All I’m saying to anyone wanting to pursue music as a career: never quit and keep going. You never know too much but you always know too little. Ian if you are reading this just start at the beginning and don’t stop.
I must agree that trying to make it as an artist or anything music related is a tedious endeavor. My brother and I have started to make music together as Lady Andy (this channel) a bit less than a year ago, and just the creating process is very taxing, not only because composing takes time, but also because we always fear that our music won't be well received, especially since we make instrumental rock (it's not very trendy at the moment). Trying to grow a fan base is rough too. Friends will help you out a bit by following you on social media, but making people on the internet or anywhere else care about you is not always easy. As Adam said in his video, before seeking help from other, you should start by doing something substantial first. Release some music on the internet if you are a musician. If you've helped a new small band with their music as a producer, share their work and say you've mixed/mastered it. Try to meet more people in your situation, no matter the music genre you work in. I've started to do that, and while we haven't gotten that many new fans in a year, we did manage to grab a few.
You're rather genuine my man. You're a big inspiration. I watch you when i have mental blocks for motivation ahah (I'm a 22 year old schizophrenic sound designer and producer. ) not that my mental health is importantant to this coment LOL but it's been a rough few months for me. You always put me in a good mood! Cheers, and thank you mate!!
Excellent advice Adam!!! I am impressed that you had so much knowledge and wisdom at 32 years of age unlike myself. It's obvious that you were well read on this subject, and your advice is paramount. The Chinese have a saying that the 1000 mile journey begins with the first step!
I’m 54. Started recording music in 1986. Got lotsa music, but didn’t really get good until about 2000. Hit another plateau around 2014, 2015. It’s now just getting to the level where I can release just about everything I write. I still get caught up in trying to figure out the best way to make my vids. And spend too much time watching vids rather than using my time to learn how to make them. I’ve done a few but haven’t found my “voice” yet.
Thank you Adam, you are mentoring all of us with your helpful and informing videos! I was in that same position just not knowing where to start and wanting everything to be perfect! I've learned myself to just DO don't feel discouraged because you're not GREAT at first or your not at the level of somebody you look up to. EVERYTHING THAT IS GREAT TOOK TIME, QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. The point is to at least TRY because thats shows you're serious and interested and by trying and doing you will get answers to all your questions.
i have to admit that this kinda snapped me into reality . For me , I've started a little while before and have been using browser DAWs and made over 90 songs and am starting to try Ableton and am learning a lot about how to do more various stuff now that i have that transition from limitations into nothing holding me back from making the music other more known artists make. Knowing this , its been just giving me ideas to study more and more and it came to the point where i thought about mentor ship. However, When i watched this video i finally realized that sometimes its good too take experiments and learn and put that learning into play . I am n ow taking a few lessons to expand my knowledge in Ableton and use that knowledge to make the music i never imagine i could. Hope you see this and hope you're all right these days. Thanks so much for the advice , and have an awesome day man ^^
Thanks for making this video. YOU are truly a blessing to t h e upcoming music artist and a breath of fresh air to educate new artists on the music game. keep doing what you do and don't give up on us.
You can never really 'max out', but I guess you mean 'after the initial burst of improvement ends', right? When you start out and you're learning new shit rapidly, it's hard to stay discouraged for long. At one point you slow down, but as you said - there's enough resources out there to keep you going. I agree, though - despite that I'd still rather be learning with someone's help than on my own. As for me - today I just heard some of my crap on speakers for the first time.. it sounded so wrong I felt like uninstalling FL lmao.
That's very honest from you. Many would have tried to get the most from this guy, just for the money, maybe telling him a lot of good stuff, but it wouldn't be the right thing for him. Ian, now's the time to Make your Music and Learn new Things. ad Then Learn new things and Make your Music. Learn by doing, make mistakes, find great resources online and offline. Even if you're 30 something (as I am) I would have said the same things. We all try to find the right way and there are no shortcut. It takes time, passion and hard work!!
Is not a out being ready or not is just of you ask as a mentor something to do that involve money 💴 and that means a lot of it , is not only making and marketing is paying good quality work through your advices
Thank you so much for this video it is by far helpful than an email back! I have FL Studio ordered to be sent to my house right now I'm with my girlfriend right now on vacation. The reason for sending the email was to make sure I was in the right track because I was planning to kick it off as soon as I got back home so thank you very much for reassuring my positioning and the additional tips! I will surely send you product as soon as I start working. Once again, thank you Adam.
This is so true. I've read countless books, but I have found that the more I learn, the less I take action. Now, I try to take action first, then learn afterwards. Probably more fruitful that way
I have been working on music since I was 14 years old. I turn 24 in February. I really want to make this my full time career by 2019. I graduated college in 2017 and waited tables 2 years back home after. I'm ready to do what I love whenever I would like to!
How important is SoMe (IG, tiktok etc..)? I've worked with major labels (Warner, Sony), got some YT features, but i'm the worst with SoMe. I'm trying to concentrate on my craft, creating as much as possible and getting better. I got songs playing on national radio, but still - i feel i'm stuck in the same place, never getting any further.
I agree, I’ve been at it for years making tracks and leaving tracks I didn’t like or felt too self critical. I recently started releasing my tracks. I do want a mentor because I’m ready to move to the next level. I consider myself advanced with my skills, at least with Ableton live.
I think it's better if people try to learn the stuff by themselves rather than pay for couching. I learned beatmaking with any money as a kid, for instance, and it just came to me quickly.
Really true. I subscribed to your channel couse while i watch your videos i feel like i´m taking advice from a colleague. This is a man to man (or girl) talk. No short cuts, no bullshit: Work hard and think smart.
I'm at where Ian is at right now. I'm just basically scared. I don't know where to start but I know starting is how you find out. I am definitely a part of the "analysis paralysis". Basically I just want to say that you are the kick in the ass that I have been needing. Thank you.
Thanks, Adam. Good points on this, only found your channel. Any update on mentorship for 2021? Situation changed? Your own experience? I'm rock/artpunk mentor myself, so yes, you gonna do everything yourself, mentor not gonna do it for you :) #Speakless, do more. #informationoverload
1 way I took a negative n turned positive was using wut I learned in recovery n using wit my career... I was taught in AA that learnings great but until u branch out, interact n actually take action💯 How I turned somthing ugly as addiction n made a vital part of my whole life. My opinion.... U can learn more in vids than actual mentors n school... My opinion.. u can hand select any advice n courses u want!!!!! Plus u can b in ur vibe n zone Can't wait til u guys finally see the hard work I been putting in Some people learn best from 1on1 help,others learn better alone wit research n some just float thru life.
So ive been binge watching your videos. I would love to talk to u if you had a few moments. You are incredibly inspirational and you are speaking to everything i have been struggling Im trying to be the first trans hip hop artist and i feel you could truly help me get to my dreams.
Adam...how did you find your "style". I do so many different music style at the moment...but I can't seem to narrow it down. One thing that I am doing is meditation music, the other is remixing and singing old Chinese songs, another is a set of music in Richard Clayderman style....how did you come up with your music genre?
+ALLAN AFROXX ok thx one more question to get that many fans would it be best to preform live in front of a crowd or just put stuff online and hope people will click on it
Adam how would I go about getting coaching advise for you, I am sort of an starter but do have content out and would like to know what your advise is at getting better results!
You said the WHEN not the HOW...what about those of us that Do have something to show?? Everyone says "producers need a mentor" and noone says WHERE or HOW to find them..
I need help staying motivated n keep fighting for my dreams but it just seems the life n everyday life distract me from what i want to do. Im 30 i have a baby girl n fights with family n friends keep me from prusing anything. Idk what to do anymore i want to do this i really do but idk how to get all the bad vibes away from me and my dreams. What is it i can do to stay more focused on my goals??
Hey how are you I hope all is well but I started my any record label in 2018 and it's been kind of up and down I was managing an artist my first year after that I went to school SAE of Atlanta Georgia went to school for music business and went to school for Auto engineering I have a I have got my feet wet and this industry and it's kind of been at a standstill and I really don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm looking for some mentorship will you be my mentor
#B2BVIDGANG 💪💪 WUTUP CHAN FAM ADAM..... I HAVE A QUESTION THAT WOULD HELP ME AS WELL AS MANY MORE Wuts the best way to start actually branding a # as a product/movement
Best way to learn, *get out and start practicing / free-styling!*... sound cliche but it kills many birds with one stone, I bit bloody but you will have delicious birds for dinner... what were we talking about again?... lmao
This video is BS. Maybe it’s because you’re young. The things you are saying to Ian right here IS coaching or mentorship. You are literally mentoring him but while saying he’s not ready for mentorship. That just tells me that YOU don’t know what mentorship is.
I agree, I’ve been at it for years making tracks and leaving tracks I didn’t like or felt too self critical. I recently started releasing my tracks. I do want a mentor because I’m ready to move to the next level. I consider myself advanced with my skills, at least with Ableton live.

@ABTV عبدالله i sure did lol I honestly gave up on it it's been so long waiting. Until you mentioned it I hadn't even bothered to check lol

Bigtime paralysis by analysis here! Cheers!
Information overload :)
Thanks, Adam. Good points on this, only found your channel. Any update on mentorship for 2021? Situation changed? Your own experience?

Great info
Well done is better than better said. Hitting a wall with what your doing means you should step up your game.
Absolutely true! Great video my man!
these videos help a lot Adam! Thank you so much, your content is great!
1 way I took a negative n turned positive was using wut I learned in recovery n using wit my career...
I was taught in AA that learnings great but until u branch out, interact n actually take action💯
How I turned somthing ugly as addiction n made a vital part of my whole life. My opinion.... U can learn more in vids than actual mentors n school... My opinion.. u can hand select any advice n courses u want!!!!! Plus u can b in ur vibe n zone
Can't wait til u guys finally see the hard work I been putting in
Some people learn best from 1on1 help,others learn better alone wit research n some just float thru life.
This is dope I needed to hear this.
I love the videos brother. Most helpful guy on TH-cam right here.
Paralysis by analysis, now THAT struck a chord!!

Adam...how did you find your "style". I do so many different music style at the moment...but I can't seem to narrow it down. One thing that I am doing is meditation music, the other is remixing and singing old Chinese songs, another is a set of music in Richard Clayderman style....how did you come up with your music genre?
i haven't put anything out online yet but i do have some work on my laptop does that count?
1 Bang growing from bottom means atleast have like 50-100 followers of yours who'd really love your work before reaching for a mentor..
+ALLAN AFROXX ok thx one more question to get that many fans would it be best to preform live in front of a crowd or just put stuff online and hope people will click on it
If you’re a student, get people from your school in with you. If not, go spend 50 bucks on instagram ads they seem to work,
Imperatively Important Incoming Informing >>>
So is it safe to say that Adam Ivy is back?
Adam how would I go about getting coaching advise for you, I am sort of an starter but do have content out and would like to know what your advise is at getting better results!
You said the WHEN not the HOW...what about those of us that Do have something to show?? Everyone says "producers need a mentor" and noone says WHERE or HOW to find them..

Watch videos/read books of people like Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy. They are amazing motivational speakers.
Hey how are you I hope all is well but I started my any record label in 2018 and it's been kind of up and down I was managing an artist my first year after that I went to school SAE of Atlanta Georgia went to school for music business and went to school for Auto engineering I have a I have got my feet wet and this industry and it's kind of been at a standstill and I really don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm looking for some mentorship will you be my mentor

Wuts the best way to start actually branding a # as a product/movement
What resources did you use for studying music, Adam?
Best way to learn, *get out and start practicing / free-styling!*... sound cliche but it kills many birds with one stone, I bit bloody but you will have delicious birds for dinner... what were we talking about again?... lmao
youre making a lot of sense... :-)
Great video! Time to get some dirt under my fingernails
yo Ian if you need someone to make music with im available
Were the same age (17)
Wish you'd call this: "When to look for a mentor" instead.

Who needs a mentor when Avicii just put out a new EP
:P
Ay you liked it
Thanks man
Keep up the good work 😎
R.I.P Avicii :(
Man, I'm super guilty of this
This didn't tell me how to find a mentor without paying for it...
A true mentor is not paid
Idk the eean kid but sub to this Chan n soak in info but make sure u do the work n create
U will b good
Hey, I'd just emailed you.. It would be a huge help if you'd go through it... I'm sure it won't be a waste of your time.
Buy the book "Mastery" from Robert Greene. Read it and reread it ! Don't thank me, thank Robert Greene ;)
So ur telling....show don't tell me
This video is BS. Maybe it’s because you’re young. The things you are saying to Ian right here IS coaching or mentorship. You are literally mentoring him but while saying he’s not ready for mentorship. That just tells me that YOU don’t know what mentorship is.
Well I mean this video is like 5 years old now. I hope the guy found his path.
I agree, I’ve been at it for years making tracks and leaving tracks I didn’t like or felt too self critical. I recently started releasing my tracks. I do want a mentor because I’m ready to move to the next level. I consider myself advanced with my skills, at least with Ableton live.
