- Stop limiting yourself to a single genre. Instead, aspire to find a tonal fingerprint, and explore the endless bounds and limitless possibilities of music!

i agree...challenge yourself .. get out of your comfort zone we all listen to different genres ..make what you feel on the day.. dont force a particular style that youre known for because it will sound forced.
❤️❤️❤️
truth! i think in the next 10 years or so the idea of being a "genre artist" isn't even going to exist anymore and everyone will be doing something that is a combination of a lot of things to make something new
I will be the last genre artist
I’ve been doing whatever genre I feel like for a while now and I have started to wonder if it would be better if I stuck to one genre. Thanks for this, I think I’m gonna work more on my tonal imprint rather than limiting myself.
This is just what I needed. I've hopped around from cinematic, liquid dnb, downtempo, synthwave, folk-pop, rock, ambient, chillhop, and house - and felt (and still feel) insecure because I haven't settled on a genre for myself. I like a ton of music, and I like trying to make music in every genre that I like, but I'm not sure how any current or future followers will feel about my genre-hopping.
This is why some artists will form an alias. Then they are able to push a new style in a completely different direction without any problems with existing styles , projects and fanbase.
Sticking to one very particular genre is like a painter remaking the same painting over and over. I think it's healthy as an artist to want to explore and develop new skills along the way.
I've been stressing this out to SO many people! Thank you for spreading this message
Solid advice for learning musicians honestly. Music shouldn't have rules, restricting guidelines and become monotonous. Its something that makes individual music pieces hard to appreciate when all of it becomes so similar and formulaic.
Great words. I think a great example of this is Jason Ross. He built up such a big image on Anjunabeats that when he began to explore the sounds of Seven Lion's Ophelia label, some fans were thrown a curve ball and didn't know what to think. However I don't believe it's worth worrying about the fan base and to just create music that you love no matter the genre in the end.
Glad somebody has said it, great video man
It always saddens me, when fans criticise artists for experimentation. Idea of genre artist must die.
If you followed this stupid idea, I would never hear your remix of EDDIE - Healing. It's one of my favourite tracks, I'll never get bored of it)
Genres, categories, identities and especially labels destroy EVERYTHING. They will never let you, really be you...SBN RESONATE
Ayyy Julian is doing videos. Love seeing you bruv. BTW get on Mr Bill's podcast.
Been so busy with tour man, Good to be back.
Thank you dude. ❤️🩹
100 percent agree
Fully agree. And i fucking love you. LUL pissed I missed you at EDC
I've heard Sysdemes explain the tonal fingerprint part you talked about too!
Brandon is my bb. I love him! He's a genius.
im a beginner though but i feel like doing just 1 genre is boring or stops me producing music like i would wanna do edm pop etc.
Thank you for freeing my mind!
I produce house music but I put all genres in my house music
a good example is heyz, love his new ep on bite this and his schedule ep on m5trp
I agree from a perspective of artist growth. It is important to develop yourself creatively whichever industry you are in, and establish your niche to give you the freedom to work with other genres. I also see value in creating an artist name/project solely to release one genre because limitations can also breed creativity. I believe it was Bruce Lee that once said "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but the man who has practice one kick 10,000 times".
Professionally, I lean towards disagreement. if you haven't gotten those chops down first, and your established audience isn't expecting it you're going to be in for a bad time. Case & point: Deadmau5 has been able to create a wide variety of music, and still maintain his niche, because he's always been known to be a bit tongue-in-cheek with his releases. Getter (Who is awesome too) on the other hand received a ton of backlash for Visceral because it was quite different to what his audience were expecting... he actually cancelled his tour last year because of it.
tl; dr -- Knowing what your fanbase expects from you, and what you deliver has a significant impact on artist development too, for better or for worst.
Just my two cents anyway, keep up the good videos Julian!
There's absolutely limits to how far you can take this ideology. techno to future bass is a pretty big jump for example, but more incremental genre changes are easier for people to process. I think the trick is to find a particular palette of sounds and features found in your music or a "sonic fingerprint" if you will, that people can latch on to instead of the genre or tempo itself.
@@JulianGrayMedia BET!
When I started making music I was primarily focusing on Progressive/Melodic House, mainly because I like those and I find myself writing and producing these genres. Recently I've been exploring the world of Lofi music and I got a bunch of Lofi tracks signed with a well-known label, and they asked me whether I wanted to release those tracks with a different alias or not. I'm still thinking about it as I'm afraid I might lose my current fanbase (or some might think I'm inconsistent), because of this... Especially because I think that Lofi is very different from other dance related genres, it's still Electronic Music, but still very different . Any thoughts?
Thanks!
I think as long as its identifiable as your music, you should distribute it under the same alias. if its very contradictory of what you've released previously, then I'd do a new alias. Lofi and progressive aren't too far genres from one another.
@@JulianGrayMedia And what would you advise for starter artist with no realise yet who makes every track it different genre? I made dnb (most of my tunes are dnb, but also in different dnb sub genres), dubstep, breaks, electro, synthwave, electro house, deep house, trance, hip hop/trap/triphop, ambient, downtempo tunes. The idea to switching between aliases drives me mad. Or should I just find a labels for every genre and use only 1 alias?
This is true, but if you already have a fan base that likes "techno" and start making dubstep or something completely different i feel like it would throw everything off. I feel creating a different project can be better if you are creating something completely different than what your fans are used to listening to. Example Deadmau5 is TestPilot Eric Prydz is Pryda. finding a tonal fingerprint and implementing different genre can also sound half assed to the genre you're trying to create, but that all comes down to personal taste I guess.
agree
Im a bass house artist and i dont think its a good idea if i start to produce hardbass, extratone music
Zakota Pa3k no, it’s a great idea
@@cashcherry8754 it's just not me, not my style
u dum
Like I always have said, music made the genres, not genres made the music.
