3 Habits That Made Me A Multi-Platinum Producer By 22

It's normal to struggle with consistency, finishing beats, having confidence in your music, or even making money from the craft of music production.

If you have any of these struggles, I'm here to make sure you don't anymore.

One tip that helped me a lot was remaking my favorite songs. It’s the closest thing to hands on learning you’ll get without a legit class or studio session with the producers

1 ) Work Everyday / consistency 0:00
2 ) Focus on your own path 3:28
3 ) Take Every Opportunity seriously 6:30

One thing Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) said on one of his live streams was that everybody thinks the only way to make money in music is to get signed, be a rocks star, etc. He said his parents told him to get a job because he wasn't making any money. He decided to get a job making flash video music for companies. Eventually that helped out and for fun he released the song faxing berlin, he was already djing at local clubs, but something about that song really pulled off, and then ghosts n stuff. I remember him starting out back in 2008. It took him almost 10 years until he got famous. His mouse head was basically a joke at pac man, and he thought it would be funny if he wore it live, and people thought it was great. I remember the contests, where whomever had the coolest mouse head got it personally signed or worn by him, or something like that. He was also into graphic design, and made a 3d model of his mouse head after finding out a dead mouse was actually in his computer. But the point of this story, is that this guy came from a fucking basement situation, and didn't limit himself. He also says, everybody tries to put out their stuff online, which is fine, but he said that your chances of success are much higher giving a physical copy of your work to the record company or producer, than just an email. Same thing with Billie Eilish's brother. Her ocean eyes video was just for her dance class, she actually wanted to be a dancer, but fucked her hip up, and a promoter from apple saw the video on youtube, and boom, it took 5 years later until her debut came out with her when we fall asleep album. You would be surprised. But its going to be a hobby when you first start out. You need multiple sources of income, and just have fun. Learn more about the music business, immerse your self in it as much as possible, become an expert. To be a master at anything, you have to adopt that identity as a world class musician or producer and do those actions that world class producers do. That goes with anything in life.

I feel like I just started to put all these habits in motion and i’m really starting to see the progress frfr. Once you realize the only competition is yourself that’s when it feels like the world is yours

[joshbottz]

Super valuable habits. I've been hitting the daily 6am deep work session and I'm making huge gains as a musician. Working every day without seeing results is the realest thing ever

You are wise beyond your years young brother. Keep following the beat of your drummer. You brought a smile to my face as an older gent in the game.

[oxtailjazz]

The tutorials are already more than generous of you but this video is straight from the heart. We appreciate you Nile

[comradebrucewayne]

This was really well written, the 10, 000 iterations part was a bar

[bassinblue]

These are excellent points bro! I wanna also say (to the youngers out there) if you LOVE music, then don't restrict yourself to albums. Venture out into the music world, check out scoring for films, or TV Ad's, music for games. Do everything and try out till you find your niche.

I love that quote bro "Men of action are favored by the goddess of luck" has so much weight attached to it.

2) Focus on your own path 3:28 hit it for me. Thanks for this man, I need to listen to this when I lose sight of myself

[MusicNick]

4:30 feel this part heavily. Def had a point in time I followed every producer on IG and YouTube and absorbed so much content. There’s a time for absorbing but def had to eventually unfollow a lot of stuff to focus on me and clear my brain to see my own goals. Good video man

[JayronnMusic]

When I first started making music (Only been at it for under a year)
I didn't really think about all the elements. But as you begin to make your own stuff, you really start listening to all the aspects of a song instead of just the song as a whole.
Like damn this snare, hi-hat, piano, etc. Sounds dope, this is really well connected!

[JuloOnTheBeat]

Thanks bro. You made me realize I have to change my mindset when It comes to comparing myself and my achievements to others.. just gotta stay focused on your path.

[kenzylafrance]

You hit this video right in the nail! The best part for me was when you stated to compare your present self to your past self, when you said that I've grown and I'm in a much better spot than I was years ago, thank you for your words!!!

[traviswright]

ay bro, this is exactly what I needed and I know hundreds of others needed as well as we both can see. This video is certainly a gem and something I can see myself looking at in those moments, keep pushing as always man, I know I will be. much love

[sereneheavenxo]

[leni_dreamer]

love this video, your mindset and energy bro. Wise beyond your years. Thank you for sharing. Blessings on your successes X 🙏🏽

[Falero]

Honestly this hit home I’ve been struggling with this way longer than I’d like to admit . And trying to take this game more serious. I feel dumb for having the connections I have and not going HARD . Thank you for waking me up just subbed

[WatchUmCook]

Almost shed a tear in the middle of this bro. This is as real as it gets, I went through a similar journey.
