My name is WesTheTech and I'm a music producer and recording artist who owns his own music business and recording studio. I am an expert at making hip-hop music as well as running a successful full-time business. Have you ever dreamed about doing music full-time? What’s stopping you? Is it that day job you have? Is it those endless bills? Or maybe you just don’t know how to make that dream become a reality?

I completely understand. I had those same problems as well. Back in 2011, my first independent music career failed. All I wanted to do was music full-time, but I didn't know how to successfully accomplish that. Like most unsuccessful artists, I went back to working a regular job. After years of working at that job, I realized through God's teachings that I wasn’t doing music full-time because I wasn't working towards that goal every day.

I realized that there were not going to be any shortcuts to this. I needed to figure out how to (1) make more money "legally" and (2) invest money in the RIGHT places so that I could successfully build an independent music business from the ground up. After a few years of figuring those things out, I was able to quit my job and do music full-time.

And now I want to show you how to do the same thing. And that's why I created WesTheTech Productions, a company that empowers independent recording artists to build a full-time music business so they no longer have to work outside of their craft.

Finally, you'll be able to quit your job. Finally, you'll be able to wake up every day and do music full-time. Finally, you'll be able to travel and perform at events. Finally, you will have your own independent music business.

Featured Songs: "Bread Winners”, “S.T.I.G.”, and "Keep The Praises Goin' Up" performed by K’nek

Signed up with BMI a few months ago before publishing some music. According to my professors at school they call this the "black box." The multiple avenues of income that are not being utilized by an artist. So there is money out there that has been collected but have no one to pay it out to.

Nice video Wes keep the dimes coming. It appears though that BMI now charge a 75$ fee for registration
