You also mentioned in a previous video with a guest, the idea of being more profitable by selling your music on your own website, instead of through distributors, which seems like a great compliment to this video.

[YariBeatsMedia]

Music full-time is a huge sacrifice & could be an endless burden unless you have your convictions straight. How much is going out + how much is coming in = you get the point.

[AsAboveRecords]

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you talk about the music business! I never knew learning could be so much fun 🔥🥵

[Keogh-cbmp]

Thank you for everything you do for artists. This is valuable information!

[Jondus]

Thank you for this!! And showing the real value of DIY! 🔥

[Benrocksinger]

I just came across your channel recently, now I have subscribed, I am a rock singer/songwriter from Australia. I am the lead vocalist and Manager of my original band Fuel2Fire. Your channel is great because I am learning more about the business side, thank you.

[allanmoreno]

Looking forward to learning for you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
🔥

I just bought the course, and I cannot wait to start. I'm going on vacation for the next two weeks, so I will begin this course while I'm on it. I was reading the course outline, and I must say this course covers everything you need to know for starting a career in music.

[poorsillyboy]

Thank you for sharing your valuable insights you’ve helped me sooo much already I love this channel!

[sydstarck]

🔥 Literally life changing. I'm an artist/producer getting ready to launch my own band and original music. I've been doing so much research on the music biz that I'm going snow-blind. This vid really speaks to what my instinct was telling me to pursue since I also have a professional leadership background in business. Wow, thank you so much for this awesome channel & vid, I'm now glued to your channel. 🤘😎

[formantaudio]

This is what you do, no matter how small you think you are 110%! I don't know much but I do know if I do all the work myself, I shouldn't really outsource much unless I need too.

Hearing it from lawyers and such only concretes the idea. I have technically no, rave scene support as they don't enjoy me speaking up against racism in the music industry, so I have to do everything myself.

Being honest in entertainment, is not an easy time, but seems to be worth it in the end.

[Djwegotone]

you got my respect. been listening to you.

[mrmikemrmike]

Ya know Krystle you're tha shit...
So kind of you to help so many wanting to live their dream.
Keep kickin' ass and all the best, \m/

[keithlabonte]

You’re awesome. Thank you for all the tips and help.

[AntonioTonyNewtonMusic]

Excellent and awesome info. Right on point! 2 Thumbs Up and 5

[stephaniejane-music]

There are so many avenues now to really do well independently, it does take a lot of work and sacrifice however.

[efiltej]

I love watching all these videos. Teaches me everything I need to learn to pursue my own music career. Thank you Miss Krystal!
I definitely will be having more questions for you personally though regarding my own music brand

[MarcelousTV]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Firstly, you are amazing, everything about you! Your mind, mindfulness, passion, intellect, motivation (both for accomplishing so much, and your motivation behind creating your law firm and this youtube channel). Secondly, this marketing strategy totally worked because now I’m going to click that link above and hopefully take your class. I feel like I have great ideas, talent and the passion for it, but like most, lack knowledge and direction. Thank you for your willingness to teach others this valuable information.

[observingsystem]

I just found your channel and I'll be watching more of your videos, because this aligns exactly with what I'm doing. I joined a small label for a while, released an EP with them, but it didn't seem to benefit me and I decided to not do that again and just go on by myself. I just released another EP myself about a week ago and I'm trying to build an audience on my channel on yt. I'm really hoping for a sync deal, that would be a dream come true, because I'm a typical "invisible" music producer that loves to work alone a lot. But I'll try to do useful collabs and learn more!
