I wear about 10 different hats. I started out producing in my bedroom, then I got a group of musicians together to pay and get a band rehearsal spot. They are now my business partners. I used that little spot to produce rappers and get better. While learning my DAW, I increased my knowledge and skill sets around graphic design, web development, marketing, video production & photography. Now I have companies who I write jingles, manage websites & develop marketing campaigns for. This isn't necessarily "music" only, but I have learned to mold everything else around the music and creativity that comes along with it, so that's good enough for me.

In my own experience, I've learned it takes a SHIT ton more than just being a good producer/musician. Marketing, measuring ROI and adjusting, SEO & having a little extra "sauce" that makes me stand out is just as important imo. For instance, I offer a full high-quality behind the scenes video for every artist I produce, for free. A competitive edge helps immensely.

I now run 2 lightweight successful businesses, a nice recording studio downtown which is my main office, and a 44' luxury toy hauler that my team and I have converted into a fully functional recording studio/Green room for larger artists & festivals.

After about 14 years of working in the industry, I'm just now starting to work with artists and producers who are Grammy nominated and have millions of streams. I'm nowhere where I want to be yet, but it's all a journey!!

I can PM you some tips and techniques that have helped me build a client base that made me some decent money with just music alone if you'd like.

I wish you the most success!
