How I make a living with music.

Want to make a living with your music? This video is for you. I've been a road musician, songwriter, producer and everything in between. Over the last 15 years I've seen a few keys to success that I would like to share with you. I want to encourage you that it absolutely is possible to make a living with music.

Below are a few courses you can check out to make it easier for you to do just that.

Thank you for this video! A great inspiration for me. Im 53 years old, living in Sweden and Im still not making a living off music but I WILL NEVER give up the idea of it. Love your channel and your music. Keep it coming! 🙂

Nashville is tough. I applaud you for making it in Music City.

I love Nashville, and look forward to every trip and visit. However, my wife and I are comfortable in GA. The only downside is that once I produce and develop an artist they eventually relocate to Nashvegas. I am proud of them though, and I support them 100%.

Wow, Forest. You've already dropped two new videos after your personal video. This is absolutely great! Your story of your first success kinda reaffirms for me that you should start every song project in your DAW as a (potentially) official record / release and not as a demo. (Make everything the best it can be, right from the start.) Do you think this mindset helps people to make better productions? It for sure avoids "demoitis" (not sure how to spell that, lol.) Thanks again for all the effort and all the knowledge you share. Take care!

This is great! Would love to see more content like this. A video on how to score a publishing deal as a songwriter/producer would be awesome!

Great, Forest! Thank you for this video! Very helpful

[DNeil]

Good information! More videos on the production world is very helpful. Just making music is great, but getting it out there and getting paid is as important or more important. Thanks for your help and encouragement!
