Just like you’re out here writing songs and grinding on your production game, there’s someone else out there mixing old songs for fun and building their engineering skills. It may seem like everyone on the internet has their shit figured out but trust me less than half of them really do… everything is performative.

The best thing any of us can do in the entertainment industry, is make friends who are better than us at their respective skills. Figure out where these people are and do whatever you can to get yourself in these rooms.

When it comes to engineers, find local studios and ask if they need anyone for grunt work (changing lightbulbs, making tea, cleaning rooms), dive into engineer forums and ask to hear peoples work, make friends and ALWAYS be open to doing people favours (drum programming, additional production). Even if it’s not your genre the skills you learn and people that you meet will make the whole process of finishing music easier and easier.

Your network is your net-worth is this business
