    To everyone that says he speaks slow, I am pretty sure he has accent, which he means he from a place where English is not his first language. He is trying his best to be clear and not rush his words as he is speaking. So back off, we're fortunate that he is able to give resources in which he could have kept for himself

      Thank you sir, you are correct. I have learned to speak faster in English today. But this video was a few years ago.
      Sincerely

      Yes your comment is spot on! It's very ignorant that people are complaining about him speaking slow, when English isn't his first language. I bet most of the people who are complaining about his speaking are people that are not even able to speak two languages!

    So if anybody clicked on this video wanting to put their music on a Spotify playlist, then follow these steps: Download your song so you have it on your device as a file, then go into Spotify's settings and find where it shows stuff about Local Files, and find the folder you saved the song. Then just go into the Local Files tab and drag the song from there into a playlist.

      This is the hard part - I'm very much an introverted person, as I suspect many artists are. -It provides fodder for much of my/our material. Maybe something we could all use instead of (in addition to?) music theory & production skills is people skills, lol.

    Spotify only works with distributors so that only original content can be uploaded. You can't upload someone's song on Spotify cause only you want to! Copyright issues would butt in. The best distributors for music for me is Distrokid. Hella cheap and uploads on every possible platform! Make music. Spread the love.

  • @andrewnelson6743

    I personally would NOT suggest tunecore. I signed up with them and after they took my money they denied my music and content. They gave no reason as to why and said they will only refund money 1 time. I personally believe this to music promoter to be a scam. Try distrokid, they've been great so far
