    Practice, get good at making music, start dropping, STAY consistent, promote yourself & your on. Its not that deep, but it does take work. People either start dropping music & their not that good yet, or the quality sucks...or they drop music once every 3 months & dont promote thereself...etc. You gotta be on top of everything...Be patient, work & you got it!! Lifes what you make it! Awesome video bro, keep em goin!

    This obsession with organic reach sounds like an artistic ego trap. Everybody has a blessing. Your success really starts when you recognize and capitalize on yours. Some people it's their looks, some money, some connects. Take what you can because everyone else is.

    i loved your point about using what we have- because so many times us artists feel discouraged because either we don't have enough money, or enough followers, or yada yada. But the reality is we're just wasting our time complaining about what we don't have vs using our time to enhance the skills that we do have or use the resources that we do have!
    So thank you for reminding me of that- it's really so helpful!

    This is amazing. I think the question EVERY emerging artist should be asking isn’t “how do I build an organic buzz” it’s WHERE IS THE BEST place to put my money to get the most ATTENTION. Is it influencer marketing? Is it the right collab? Is it IG ads? Etc etc.

      Exactly right! I feel like there's a massive blue Ocean in crossing digital marketing (online advertising, sales funnels, etc.) and artist brands. It's not authentic for an indie artist to capture leads and sell you a ticket after a consistent drip email campaign, but that's "good marketing" if you're a label? The inconsistencies in this music game are wiiiild

    I put off advertising when I started off because I wanted to get a feel for how putting out content and "organically" marketing works. Then when I felt ready and felt I might make some money in return, I started advertising.
    But advertising is the furthest thing from cheating. If it's cheating, every single brand for the past century is a cheater.

    In the end people being identified with being “genuine” or “organic” or “pure” is really just another thing they will try to play up later to market and promote themselves. The thing your method of promotion does not effect is the quality of your music. Make your music good first. Then understand that people want to hear it and make moves

    I’m a little more seasoned and I’m from Macon, GA. It was understood that you had to spend money to get heard. We had to go to clubs and PAY the DJs to get your record played. You had to PAY to get in front of people at these showcases. You had to actually take trips to spread the word about your music. You had to PAY to get a big DJ to host a mixtape. You can pay $100 get your song in front of thousands of people all at once now. These labels and these artists have these fake 0-100 in 3 month stories bro. It’s throwing these young artists off their game.

    It’s all about the intention. As within, so without, as above, so below. You can’t get big and manifest many followers if you’re frustrated or fearfully trying to push your product unto others. Music is spiritual and it cannot be faked. Almost all the musicians that I look up to made it organically. Where they reached a state of professionalism that comes with practicing for more than 10 thousand hours. Once u reach that state, that frequency of being, you naturally attract situations that get your music heard: either through meeting musicians that already have influence or other connections.
    We gotta be honest with ourselves as to why we make this music in the first place. Those who truly love music will not have the intentions of trying to manipulate their way through. They’ll just create.
