People have confused a lower barrier to entry to meaning it’s easier.

Make music that's real to you, promote it, and the right people will gravitate to that if you are working 100% of the time. Most give up too early

[siddzartha]

This is the best and most thorough video on artist development I’ve ever seen on YouTube. Truly a condensed masterclass on succeeding as an independent artist 🔥

[Clasam]

It's interesting how your examples: MJ, Whitney, Bruce were all from a different era. I think this is in part because so many "Soundcloud rappers" or anyone who can put music on stream today would never have even gotten an offer back in the day.

Pitbull and Daddy Yankee helped Latinas get on the map for Hip Hop.

I think alot of people are only in it for the money and lose faith in themselves when the money doesn't come quickly. It takes dedication and the right decisions and making lots of mistakes

[tommyrose]

Perfect video, no unnecessary sponsorship ad (get ya chili though) and straight to the point.

Future didn’t start autotune in the hip -hop! Kanye West did!

Great to see the success of this video for a smaller channel, 👏 great work

[LaynoProd]

Spoiler from someone who's been legit in the biz for 10+ years: You can do all these things and there's still a good chance you don't make it. I think this video is well thought out, but I'm not sure you have real experience in the biz.

These videos are amazing, thanks my g 🔥 let’s get this man to 1k subs

I dont care about fame anymore dont care about a way to make it i feel i made it already doing what i love, im not selling my soul sacrificing my values so a group of corrupted rich people put me on i honestly dont care about fame anymore to be honest. i think people are waking up and realizing that you should do music for love not to seek approval from others and feel valued by fake validation and acceptance from others. Make music because you love creating work on in consistently withour expecting anything material in return.

The industry BEEN this way. Even back then lol

Great video! You touched on a lot of things I resonate with, especially refusing to give up rights to a label, and how most artists don’t understand the business aspect of music such as brand building and maximizing customer lifetime value. This is why I’m currently building an AI business right now that I plan to sell within 5 years and net $50M+ while building my YouTube channel, in order to become a fully self-funded musician one day and bypass labels entirely, which I’m documenting on my channel. Interested in learning more about what u have to uncover about the industry 👌

[aaronasissoard]

We as artists need to build platforms and actually use them to build up new artists not use them

[Maru-Mars]

Great video. Im building a fashion business slowly as I'm still in school I'm studying The stock market as well. I want to make lots of money so I can fund myself as a musician.

[dreamzzzooentertainment]

Great video. Time well invested in watching on my behalf.
