Artists will treat music like a competion but it’s not. You don’t have to be on the billboard list to have a huge audience. It’s not about politics/algorithms it’s about the music being good or not. If you think you deserve more u lost Look internally

Definitely need to constantly grow your skill set. The moment you think there’s nothing else to learn, you lost. Although I’m not sure if it’s all about the music either. You can have the best content but if you’re bad at SEO there’s a good chance no one will see it

I kinda agree with ye both, never stop improving. But it's ok and normal to feel a little demoralised when you make something you think is great and it doesn't do as well as you had hoped

Yea I agree, that really can be the worst sting sometimes. It’s never a guarantee my belief just lies in the odds going up if an artist stays consistent and never quits!

Absolutely dude. Took me over a decade of working at it before I saw any proper success haha. But it just sucks (in every art form) that very often the work being really good doesn't help it to become really successful and shit very often floats

100%. I can relate, was years before I saw numbers go up and had any form of real income. I’ve always tried to use that as a driving force to create more, never makes the floaters hurt less for me either though

I’ve found peace in just maintaing a healthy financial lifestyle with a music income. The beauty in music to me is that you don’t have to have mega success to have an audience and make a living. That’s what I was getting at in my initial post, it’s my favorite part of all this

Absolutely. I feel like being a successful artist and chasing billboard status are two completely different industries now. Let the major labels battle for the charts, I’m good with making a living doing what I love.

IN some ways we have it better than major label artists - we can remain relatively anonymous and we don't have to give most of our earnings to someone else (first record deal I ever had, we got a 7% cut....)

Between 4 of us....
But it didn't even release in the end and I had a massive fight with the label guy and called him a cunt backstage at a gig and that was the end of that professional relationship lol

Hahahahaha Sounds like it was warranted
That’s absolutely mad!
One thing I’m really grateful for is my home studio, I remember going to recording studio and paying WAY too much money for a poorly done 4 song EP back in the day3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -
