How to stand out in a crowded market | Bali Bandits (Jordi & Jan) | TEDxYouth@HNLBilthoven

In this TEDx talk Jordi de Fluiter and Jan Postma, Dutch young musicians and dj’s and better known as the Bali Bandits, talk about how difficult it is in this global community to stand out in a crowded market. They do this with lots of humor!
Jordi de Fluiter and Jan Postma have been actively playing instruments since they were in primary school. Back then Jordi started playing the guitar and Jan started playing the drums. They met in high school where they played in several bands learning the ins and outs of musical composition and performance. When they were 18 they found out about electronic music and switched their interest to this booming musical scene. In the spare time of their business and psychology studies they taught themselves the skill of (electronic) music production.
After they finished their studies, they completely focused on their music project Bali Bandits and signed a publishing deal at one of the leading dance music publishers. Because of the attention and buzz record labels were gaining more and more interest in releasing their music, which resulted in releases on major dance labels such as Revealed (by Hardwell) and WOLV (by Dyro).
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

[@neaumusic]

lol or you can just make good music

[@H3N6Y60]

Although Making good music is crucial it isn't the only aspect, there are hundreds of producers out there who make top quality music but just don't stand out. You need to think about creating an image for yourself, be infinitive (logo, name etc.) and promote yourself uniquely, it won't JUST come from making good music.

LOL OMG I was thinking the same thing. I don't like any EDM, god knows I tried to like it but there's really nothing to it.
