Yeah I was knocked out when you first called 😂
Loll we made it happen 🤝
Bro, PLEASEEEEE DO MORE OF THIS!!! I also would love to see into a glimpse of your recording process
Ltw collwb! Bro love ur synthy sound
That would be soo fine
‼️✨
🎬✨🎹♍️🤍🔛😶🌫️➕🕶️✨
Been following your journey from way back & I’ve gotta say, this video was probably the best in a long time. I think artists can really learn from feeling like they’re in the room with you like this. Thanks for doing these 🙏
Sjjwkwwk
i kept thinking you would cut away and we'd lose a step of the process but the fact you kept it going the whole way is so helpful wow thank you
3:05 still waiting for this topic in new video 🥲
Detaching myself from my art is probably my biggest take away other than consistent releases
Insanely helpful.
Forget gems bro, this was packed with DIAMONDS
Videos getting better and better
Let’s goooo!!!
Thank you bro 🤝
Loved getting a closer look into your TikTok content creation process. For me it’s the most overwhelming part sometimes, not always the idea but actually getting up and film it.
Please do this a series ✨
Thanks for all the knowledge
i agree with you my man
You just literally changing my life Nick, thanks for this content.
All love bro 🤝
Been following you for a moment, just made it to 15k monthly listeners, and now introducing the Tik-Tok content. I wish to quit my job in the next year.@@frdiforartists
Honestly Nic is my biggest inspiration. He made it happen without a high up marketing executive father like Russ had and showed us that it was possible to make it completely independently and he does not gate keep 🙏
No overthinking, just action after action! This was great!
YES more of this please!!! Would love to see your content editing process & turn around time to upload.
This is really good, Nic. I can see the parallels between what you do and what I do. The independent game can definitely be hectic & busy. I get enjoyment out of building my brand brick by brick, I'm sure you can relate. 👍
As a long time video/photo guy who has been building up the skill to chase my musicality the last 4 or 5 years, I really appreciate this kind of content. I like the sort of mantras you’ve developed to combat perfectionist thinking.
Another banger of a video!!!
I like this guy, he's chill af
this episodic thing will likely be the best thing u could make. very casey neistat like. the subjects you jumped between, u start talking abt strategy and planning, then u jumped into lighting and depth of field, all while having us hooked about "the right song" concept, this is all simultaneously floating in ur head, and no one sought the answers but you. something that ppl dont see often, if at all. the more ppl see u doing that, the more it'll sink in as a normal & attainable reality, and less preachy like most artist strategy content. this is what an artist business commonly has to look like now, to give the artist their best chance at success. thank u for making this, i hope inspiration drives u to continue making these! hppy holidays :)
Ay man, just want to say I appreciate you break the game down and taking the time to do this. Literally only heard of you a week ago and since applying what you’ve said, I have 50k TikTok views, 8k streams on Spotify and my followers, subscribers took a substantial jump. Preciate the sauce 🙏🏽💯🔥
That’s crazy. Great job👏🏻 what would you say the biggest changes you made were? I’m averaging about 1500 views a post lately (was only at 200 before) but find it hard to convert any follows.
OMG! Thank you so much for addressing that comment! I’ve been getting so bogged down by everyone saying you need to post 3 times a day 7 days a week. I really love and appreciate your take on that. Thanks for sharing.
Guys, this is my second week implementing the “done over finished” method and it is not easy for me lol. Pray for me please I keep rewriting and re recording my shit
The only dude that's really laying it out how it is. Appreciate your knowledge and how much you give back to the community. Been learning a lot from your bro. Thank You. 🙌💯
I really appreciate you dropping all these gems for people to be successful in their own way. I love the content as well! Thanks my man!
My question is what really is considered “good content” ? If you can make a video where you do an audit or reacting to other musicians content, breaking down what is good or not good about their content that’d be great 🙏
Your content is really aspiring man! when ever i feel extremely lost i come watch your videos and let my self know that i can do it and everything is possible, thanks a lot for existing 🙏
This is rele cool that you do these videos. I’ve been following for years now, it’s cool to be able to watch you talk about things like this
Nic! You are such a legend man. So thankful for you bro. And can't wait for more of your content.
It’s crazy how I found you from Dre video now I’m watching your behind the scene 😂
Nice with some behind the scenes. Like how you not overthink stuff 👊
Can’t wait for the next episode.
I'm super excited for the future of this channel! Keep up the great work Nic 🤠
I really appreciate these "day in the life with.." videos. They're inspiring and very educational!
Awesome dude I pull something from just about every video... Thanks again
This kind of content is my favorite so far! I’ve watched your NDPDNT podcast, and the Frdi show but these laid back vids where you’re just talkin’ from the heart and sharing your thoughts/advice and experiences as an Artist are GOLD. Thank you for making the effort to be consistent, it’s honestly feeling like something to look forward to. 😊
Thank you bro for being transparent with everything, gives so much insight into the possibilities !!!
Dude yes. Please keep em coming
doing that cover art in 5 minutes! Love it! Thanks Nic!
God bless this guy..he doesn't have to share any of this knowledge but he does. Thank you for that bro. Btw that "Sundown" joint....fire!
PLS KEEP POSTING, its really encouraging for me 😁
This was FIRE Nic, thank you for opening up your day to us. For what it's worth, I'd binge these "day in the life" kind of videos man. It was super cool to see how you move from one thing to the next and just adapt to stay productive. Much love and Merry Christmas!
Thank you Nic! I know I have made good music as people resonate with it. I’ve done nothing to promote my music, yet I have nearly 500 followers on YT. I’ve been putting off explaining why I wrote each song for content (which I know I need to do) because it means I need to go back to the experiences 😫. It’s all about mindset and I need to work on that. You have a new subscriber ❤
Thank you nic love it yes would definitely love to see more
I like this type of video. Keep it up
We need a day in the life that includes recording a track
Nic just giving all the inspiration atm. MUCH APPRECIATED 🙌🙌
Do you think you would’ve made it this far sticking to rap, or did the genre change everything?
Good question I will address it 🤝
As humans we have natural biases that at times can’t be controlled (it’s a subconscious thing)
So taking into account (not saying to be fake) how people perceive you, will make things so much more easier.
It’s a game of perceptions, so subtly directing how people perceive is vital.
Why do billion/trillion/9figure companies still have to constantly do marketing and advertising, whether it’s direct (through YT/TV) or indirect through content/influencer marketing.
Marketing is extremely important.
Great advice
Man super dope fam appreciate you taking the time to share the inner workings of your daily process it means alot I have never seen anybody doing what your doing I believe what your sharing is so needed most people wont share the game and im inspired by the the info I just want to take care of my family doing what I love to do so im taking your advice and changing up everything im doing
Loving your youtube content.
I’m glad 🤝
Appreciate you Nick
I'm in the process of starting this journey (I actually did years ago but never felt the right motivation). These past years post covid I've been producting shitloads of tracks. Now it's time to release it to the world. Thanks for this very valuable information.
I love you bro, I've been making music for a while now. you gave me a different perspective on how to market, i spent money on fb ads and got a song to 500k but your way is the wave, its definitely not easy but it'll create and retain long-time fans.
Love this. Helps me to see that doing what you do is actually not pulling and grinding teeth all the time. It’s simple and intuitive. Thanks Nic
This video was full of value. Follow you has legit changed my career. Eventhough I've watched every single video here and on the NDPNDNT podcast the book is what changed everything for me.
Wow! I am grateful I discovered your videos. More blessing upon you Nic you are a beautiful soul
Love it!! Really inspiring and reassuring... I've been onthe "grind" for almost 10 years, and the days are falling in to place. 80% business / 20% music. Just got to keep it up and be consistant! Much love from Hawaii!🤙
Excellent content, advice, and insights. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
Quality of this content is so much worth, these days people brain wash upcoming artist. And @Nic on the other hand is helping musicians by telling what it takes to be there after achieving his goals🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆
Yo, I was just talking to L.Dre about you the other day! Excited to see how the collab goes
Just starting an independent artist career and I’ve learned so much from your content. I want to say thank you and that I would definitely keep watching these ‘day in the life’ videos, very helpful!
I'm so glad you are doing content like this now!!! I love day in life videos for producers/artist and I'm a huge fan of you!
Absolutely loving the content you’re posting Nic, thanks so much for all of the gems you’re dropping here👍
more please
Thank you for this. EXTREMELY VALUABLE.
I appreciate seeing this, I'd appreciate seeing this more often boss. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Thanks for this!
I’ve been doing a deep dive on all of your music marketing videos, the past couple weeks, super inspiring. Bought the book.
Love this video!
You say you have around 150 songs uploaded, but how long from your first upload on a distribution platform did it take before you actually started making an income off being an artist? Thanks for the content, keep it up 🙌🏻
Gonna touch on this in future vid 🤝
I think he said in his book it wasn't until his like 40th song...or maybe 80..either way it was alot of songs before he took off
Love this thanks dude
Definitely becoming my favorite channel
It’s up there for me as well!
Love this vlog style super inspiring thank you!!!
this is high value content, this will be the biggest platform by 2024 end. thank you 🙏
More of the day in the life + sit down videos where you break down knowledge!
Excellent content man, I would definitely love to see more!
love this stuff, for real, i like the day in the life stuff, would love to see more of your creative process where it comes to music, like a day in the life of writing a song. that would be fireeeeee
It’s dope to see that when you’re working you’re all the way locked in! Recording a video while you’re waiting for your second call was amazing time optimization🔥🔥
Hey Nic, thank you so much for starting this channel. Your tips and tools have been a God send for where I’m currently at with my content. You got a heart of gold my friend and your hard work does not go unnoticed! Peace be with you Brother
Do more of these content please🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆🙆
Again thank you so much for this! I am in a metal band and we are going to be mirroring these concepts. We want to start doing benefit concerts, not really worried about plays but just focusing on simple shorts and our catalog is so simple that I completely overlooked it. Also, bands in my genre spend way too much on mixing/mastering and artwork. Over the last three years I have focused on mixing everything myself, so we can focus our revenue in investing into our own sound system and such. I really appreciate the advise, it's helped me focus on the important things like just simply writing music. Thank you Nic!
This was awesome. You’re such an inspiration
WE NEED THE NEXT VIDEO!
Holidaysssss
take your time & enjoy the holidays bro ❤@@frdiforartists
I enjoyed it! Please do more.
I’m loving these types of relaxed videos, just feels like we’re hanging with you getting great info. Thank you!

Really appreciate the work and keep it up‼️

This was an awesome vid! Thanks so much man. Book was amazing! I love your commentary during the audio book lol 😂
I’d love to see a closer look at how you shoot tiktok performance videos. Specifically more of the editing side and how you listen to the song while you perform for the camera. Thanks Nic! Appreciate you!
