Give Up On Your Music Career | #1 Failure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2024
- Is it time to give up on your music career? Well, that depends. Music marketing and learning how to promote your music can be exhausting and sometimes you just have to be real with yourself. I didn't want to make this video, but I felt I had to.

What is one thing that you find yourself not wanting to do that know you need to push through to become successful? Leave it as a reply to this comment.
I need to push through the self doubt. Even though people tell me U have what it takes, sometimes I really feel like I want to give up and "get a job." One other thing is staying focused on one thing.
i need to push through the self doubt and i also have to force myself to "be more social" ... im too melancholic i guess but im working on improving
what if no matter what i do i end up being a failure?,no matter how i try to learn and be better i always end up short
Social media marketing. I am extremely introverted and it doesn't feel right to expose myself to people, and instead of making music, I'm doing 10 people's jobs. Why can't I just use my art, my music to market myself? I am being told in order to be successful in this society, that I have to manipulate people into listening to my music through social media. I'd rather just post visual content (music videos) and my music and have my fanbase grow organically (shows, music being shared, word of mouth). Basically how everyone did before the internet existed. Is this being unrealistic? I'm not trying to be a social media influencer, I'm trying to be a full-time musician/artist.
One word: procrastination
A lot of value in this one. Keep the great content coming 💯🤛🏾
Thanks blackyspeakz, I watch your videos. Someday you're gonna make a video on me though, mark my words 😅
ohhhhh. BlackySpeakz has spoken
BlackySpeakz ayee
Hold up, why would you watch this if you have no interest in making a music career? my boy blackey be makin raps undercover, thats fuckin dope bruh. I wish you the best of luck with your life and if im right bout you writin undercover then i cant wait to hear ya
Real recognize real
Never give up my friends...never...believe in your dreams and work very hard to make them true...
Seriously, when I want to give up writing songs. I tune in to your videos. Keep it up man!
Thanks for this video:
Its been 20 years now since I've started study piano and composition, and even if I've graduated in the process I felt frustrated and really tired most of the time.
But after every difficult moment there was so much satisfaction and happiness that it was totally worth it.
So I really feel you buddy.
Thanks again
Well said!!! I'm 60 and I've been doing this stuff all my life! I'll never quit!!! Giving up is not an option. My goal when I had my first professional gig at age 14, is just the same today. I can't not play. It's just how I'm wired! Thanks for the great advice. I agree 100%! :)
your the man
your the man
@@villamorsuni3857 Albeit somewhat ancient ;)
Hear a whole lot of stuff I needed to hear today! Thankyou 🙏🏾 get well soon dawg ✊🏾🤟🏾👌🏾🖤
inspiration and encouragement!! thanks for another great video and the self-esteem boost!
BECAUSE I LOVE MUSIC FFS!!!! (sorry for swearing!) I'm 42 and have quit my good paid job as a Sound, Light and video Manager at the Norwegian Royal Opera and Ballet just to make music! I sit in front of the screens 10 hours+ each and every single day producing and trying out techniques just to get better at it! And the rest of the day I do a little workout to stay in shape and most important: I visit people and take phone calls to get contacts, to get noticed in the industry etc. That's even better than getting a follower. I do that too. Each day! But the personal aspect of marketing is not something you should just dismiss! THAT would be stupid!!! And hell no, it's not for fame or money! It's my PASSION!!! I love to make music, I love to DJ, And I love to see people get high on the tunes I spin! So please, don't tell me I'm not committed. Maybe I'm even more committed than You Adam, who knows. I haven't met you personally so I can't tell. Nor can you about me!
But one thing I have to mention that's bothering me is: I've seen on your Instagram some of the people you hang with, and at least one of them is a person that does these commercials about buying a program (a bot) that would help you get more followers and it(the program) would even manage your followers and answer them and your emails AUTOMATICALLY! You know I've been listening to your videos several times each and I remember You said such things were trash! So when I see you hug this creep and even let his adverts run just before your video starts, well, let's just say that I don't exactly appreciate it!!! Now I need to chill because nothing makes me angrier than someone telling me I'm not doing enough...
So much value in one video, thank you so much Adam!
Thankyou so much for making this channel! its been such a huge help, and has brought me alot of inspiration & motivation moving forward!!
Just when I needed to hear it....I'm glad I subscribed 🙌
Still on my way to 1000 fans currently over 100 followers! Thank you Adam!
whats your instagram bruh
@@RexitHD Ractive_Lavey
Needed to see this video! Thank you I just recently subscribed to your channel amazing content. Keep going broo 👏👏
This video was exactly what I wanted to hear. Thank you!
Definitely was a rough week mentally for me Adam. Thanks for the inspiration Adam. Stay Great
The scary thing is the reality hits everyone that mainly everyone needs to be in a 9-5 job. (Or a 9-9) job. Many can't pursue passion for real life that hits everyone. Some like me, I'm afraid to jump. (I need to work on my mentality) Also that there is A LOT to tackle. Thanks for the words.
I just recently subscribed Adam. I love your videos. Thank you so much for the insight, inspiration, and push. My following on Twitter has grown and one of my singles became a topic. I look forward to more marketing strategy discussions!
I needed this video. Thanks bro
Thanks again and I am now working on playing an open mic and learning more. Bless u man
Thank you for the great pep talk Adam and feel better!
THis was SOO Inspiring !!!!! THank you so Much ADAM!!!!!
If you succeed at an unrealistic goal, you have accomplished something that is unreal.
Awesome content man. You know deep within yourself if your on the right path. Just keep putting in the effort and trust the process!
God Bless You Brother! Very Well said!
Trying my best to keep motivated. Thanks for making videos like this

Thanks for always motivating me with these videos
Great video as always brother!
Thank you so much dude. This helped me so much. Now im gonna make it big because of you
Thank you so much for your words. This helps through the though days.
well, thanks for this video. Not for source of outside motivation but asi a constant reminder that I have to be constant and keep on walking forward.
You have some of the best values for beginning Music Producers. Thank you for what you do.
Wow ..you are always so supportive and talk about the real time situations and issues, we as artist face whether in the world or inside us mentally and emotionally.
Thankyou love from India
Thanks for your love and passion, Adam! Thank you for acknowledging and giving your absolute best for us! God is good and I’m thankful he blessed me to come across your channel to better myself as an individual. Passion, grit and overcoming adversity is possible! Thank you, brother! God is good!
I have a really big pressure of school. I am trying my best to make a music video per week, but school is pushing me behind and not only making me less efficient but also my teachers tell me to leave and the say it won't get me anywhere and won't give food in future. They themselves never heard my music. So these things discourage me to some extent
Wow. The most inspirational video to date for me. Incredible man. Thank you sir. You are officially my “unofficial mentor” lol get well soon 💪🏼
Great Vid Adam! True words there
Always an inspiration! Ty!
As always great advice :)
This is so necessary. Thank you!! 🙌🏿💪🏿
Love your content Adam!
Think about how far you’ve come, not how far you have to go. - Bovum
Adam your videos are amazing, you’re the only UA-camr that inspires me without even making music. I’m 18 and I started producing when I was 12 and I got kicked out, I’m in my own place right now with no laptop, but your videos are encouraging me every day to keep moving forward. Thank you 💜🙏🏻💯
Really cool! Thx for this 👍🏻
Was at a real bad place without motivation and the drive that I had when I started making music.
And it's funny how videos like these just picks you up and push you forward.
So Thank You Adam for this and all the advices.
I love that the community isn't at competition all the time and can instead help and support!
Salute , the grind never Stops
Great video. Hard work, works. I love your content!
THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO! Definitely gave me motivation for future music and content for my channel! Can't be slacking 💯
It’s all about patience. And loving the few fans you have now and pumping out good content
Thanks for the video, things have been tough and the isolation has been getting to me. No sleep has messed up my mixes and been totally dissatisfied with my music. I needed this video to keep the push going!
Ahhhh you got me with that intro, Adam. Keep putting in that work.
Great video. There is a lot of passion & self belief in your speech. I love that a lot. Ten minute videos are great. Thank you Adam 👍
This gave me even more motivation, good video !!
Thanks for motivating us! :)
More excellent stuff & still great energy despite your sinus infection! Respect from England
🐍🖤
Always truly inspiring.
Great tips as usual brother!
I’m trying to make my drive stronger everyday. Thank you for making this. I needed this.
"F this job" we all know the feeling, but all I have to do is remember my day job (sucks), and knowing I can't live with myself if I didn't go for my music career. Thanks for the videos Adam.
Yeah, 100% me too, good luck with it all!
Same to you amigo
This channel has some great value appreciate your efforts
Man!
I got pretty scared with the intro.
Then I got myself into calm when you said What´s up again.
Jesús Armas lmao same
Damn dude. You just rejuvenated me. Gotta reinstall my Michael Jordan fire. Play thru the Pain.
You only get one life to be happy. This message rings true. Thank you for the motivation.
I love that!
Another good video, look a little hungover or sick. Feel better
Real words of motivation man💯💯 I love what you do, keep it up👌🏽💯
Great Juice again Adam! Never giving Up!
I definitely have this problem. I have had issues with serious depression over the last 10 years. I'm not personally constantly battling with technique or creativity, I know I can learn these things, the problem for me is an uphill battle with my own head. I'm still trying to figure out how to find that drive, and build up momentum, but I'm not giving up.
Can't wait for next week video
Thank you!💖
I love your channel! I just dropped my first video last night and it's so much help!
Thank you Adam.
Everytime I watch one of your videos I become more motivated to work. Even if I am not in the mood for working. The right video pops up at the right time, to get me to work. Keep making these man
I'm a new sub and the video that hooked me was the 1000 fans video. Good stuff indeed. I make music strictly as form of artistic expression. I'm too old to dreamchase. But still, I've learned how to show my followers an appreciation that I lacked in the past due to your videos. Thanks for the "clues" and I'll keep watching.👊
That's awesome, keep it up!
Bro you've literally talked me off the ledge so many times thank you
I've never related to someone more, thanks for making this video
This subject is covered pretty thoroughly in the book The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield. He talks of "resistance" and the daily battle to beat it into submission. LOL.
Like this Adam! Felt a lot more real than a lot of your other videos. Lacking motivation is a very real problem and when I look at someone like you with over 100k subs it’s easy to think what’s the point? It’s all about belief
being an artist is the most soul defeating shit ever
Just slept 4 hours, had the worst evening ever, live performance was delayed then cancelled, didn't get paid, lost money and time, walk on the rain to find a night bus, get sick, even broke a valuable cable in the whole process and so on and so forth..and no that's not the first time things like that happened ; so Thank you, you just save my day, I'm gonna move on and do my best :)
Cheers from France
Louis
Keep going bro! Don't let anyone break your spirit!
@@yungdnny Thank you for your support !
Since then I played in a free party on a big wall of speaker, that was my best live performance ever, no cops, no rain, no problem, I even find an easy way to come back home XD as we say in french "la roue tourne" (What goes around comes around or something)
Wow! Everything you post has so much lessons and it is up to us the people to pick it up. Otherwise I am learning well from you and i know I will never give up.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND GOD BLESS YOU.
Adam, I love your videos such inspiration!
#focus
Love the way you explain everything, it puts a real perspective on things. That mind set, and how you think is important. Crazy how small hick ups of life, can make people give up and fail. It just takes work, and the preserverence to keep going. Thanks for the advice
*never give up never give up BELIEVE in yourself STAY CONSISTENT keep ENCOURAGEMENT*
Thank you!
❄💯 no cap without your videos id be off the deep end man, i hope u never stop these man
Wow this is spot on with my music career right now. This whole spot on in my life thing happens with SO MANY of your videos. I'm not trying to hype you up, I'm talking about MY reality. I've been making music for just over a year and I am way less interested now. I don't know what to write about anymore, I have talent and love for music but I lost my drive. I want that drive back so fucking much. Anyway thanks for the Video, I think the timing of your videos are having some type of impact on a different level than I can feel right now.
We all need the motivation and tips to keep going, it's so tricky with almost too much at our fingertips these days!
Man grat video i wont ever stop my rapping career
im closing in on a 100 followers gained, since i started the 1000 in 90 challenge. i still cant believe it... some days are slower than others but its working though... thanks adam 💎💎💎💎💎
I want to say thank you for your marketing videos. Producing is one part but if you want to make it in this industry you have to invest in your marketing. And thats something which is really hard for me, but your videos push me more to do it and especially how to do it! Thanks ❗️
Thank you so much. I was so pissed off a min ago and thinking it isn't even worth doing what I wanted to do in my life and getting ready to sell my soul sort of speak them I seen your video and it picked me off the floor thank you so much for the pep talk so to speak I'm gunna go do what I want to do
I gave up after eight years of okay growth and quick decline, and I wish I had stuck with it. Now, starting over, it's daunting to try and rebuild the audience I once had. But your videos have been doing a great job at rekindling that flame for me after two years of nothing. Thank you so much for your content!
Thankyou!
