Havent seen a video from you in over a year (because I haven't been on a lot) and now I remember why I am already subscribed. I very rarely want to watch the same person over and over but you are so consistent that I am more than happy to. Appreciate you G

This isn’t only for musicians this pertains to A N Y T H I N G that involves self promotion whether you are a podcaster, singer, actor, speaker - anything where you are selling yourself FOLLOW THIS GUYS ADVICE - I know A LOT about what he is talking about and listening will only help you.
Ohhh my golly, I have been blown by your video, I am representing an artist ( newbie) to the business. and was so nervous about the future with this new artist. Now I am so happy to get on board.
All facts in this video. Branding is key! It has took my carrier to the next level indeed. Learned a lot new from this video that I'll be applying from now.
This is awesome! Rob Level man you are just amazing, I can't believe the amount of content and knowledge from this UA-cam channel from day 1. So many secrets, I appreciate you big bro! Much love from this 16 yr old from Toronto ~ Vinnin Stay Winnin ✅
@@SmartRapperTV Quick question, if I really love to inspire other people, just motivate others and connect to others: What color would be the best for me?
Good video Rob. The first word you used to describe your music was "fearless" - can you explain that. What about your music makes you, as an artist, fearless? Thanks bud.
I became a fan back in 2011 when you went by Novi Novak. I was 13, and now a decade later here I am as I’m working on my first legitimate project. I’m amazed at how far you’ve come, and thank you for all these tips. You need to do a TED Talk, man.

yessir now start thinking about how you can start showing this perspective to your audience so they can instantly notice it whenever you post, release a song, release a video, etc
Until I was watching this video I have created my symbol, found a few archetypes, choose colors that represent me, my message to people. Thanks it was the most useful video I have ever seen. Coz it took me a few min to structure my thoughts that already have existed in my mind. And u made me to write it and paint on paper. Grateful. 🙏 I have a question, does my message have to be connected with a logo? Or I just can take my initials for the logo? Can I take 3 colors to brand myself or is it better to choose one?
Ideally your message would be connected to your logo, but it doesn't have to be. It'll be more creative and unique if it was rather than just your initials, but when starting out anything is good. And you can use more than 1 color but it's easier if you kept it to one.
Hey man, I really enjoy the videos you put out! I d be happy if you could show us a few artist on IG or some other platform that are perfectly branded! Keep kicking it fam
@@SmartRapperTV My first thought was of the California Stockton rappers, they are so sick🎶 but I don't think they are using their brand correctly, you feel me?
I love horror/dark music etc. so I want to brand myself as a dark person but I guess it isn’t marketable, so I’m producing music soon with a colorful impact haha so I’ll be using all of the colors soon. Soon I’ll be a bigger artist eeeeerrrrrss
It's a really important question that every artist needs to ask themselves. If you can find your message, you can get people to resonate with you and build those superfans 💪
@@SmartRapperTV absolutely all artists are adding to a larger conversation. It's important and empowering to be intentional with those additions. Personally, I was surprised how quickly my answer came to me.

In the label, who is responsible for artist branding ?
How can an independent artist find them experts to work with ?
In a label setting, there'll be an entire department focused on crafting the brand of their artists. But as independent artist, you should do this on your own since you know yourself better than any exec and won't get trapped into a brand that isn't you💪 And once you start blowing up those people will come find you
With the free cheat sheet, it gives you a guideline to follow in order to find and hone in on your brand.
