How To Get Your Music Heard (By Actual People)

I thank you so much. This is common sense but it's so easy to get tunnel vision when you're trying to balance being an artist, producer, full time employee, band mate, etc. thank you so much

this is good advice

As you said, every big artist been there, so there's no reason I (or you) can't make it with a little hard work. Great video!

"This is making actual connections with actual human beings...which is hopefully, what your trying to do with your music". Great advice!

words of wisdom.

he has such an honest trustworthy face

Thanks for taking the time to offer honest, sound advice.

Justin. I am a 61-year-old. I've been sitting on the fence for 10 years now. Thank the Lord I played your video. You are seriously amazing. To the point. So much wisdom! Thank you so much.

hello to all musicians out here! amazing advice justin. thank you for taking the time to share this nugget of gold ❤

I'd like to add to the 3rd Audience builder: Interact and engage online. I see so many bands that have 5000 followers, 200 comments, etc on Twitter, IG, Facebook, YT and they are following 0. Responding to 0 comments. Build a community around your band! Great video. I've been working on a lot of these for a current client of mine. I like how you organized the actions.

This is clearly the best video on this topic I've ever found! Thank you so much! One thing, to extend your point. Youtube now is a good option to replace live shows (to some extant). I live in a country with no conditions for make it as a metal artist, and conquering local stage first was one of the worst tips I'd been given (6 years wasted). And now, after 3 years of making videos and having 27k followers, my audience is the whole World! Thanks to Internet and Youtube in particular, I finally make for a living being a musician. So, my suggestion to young musicians is to open your mindset to the opportunities that the modern world gives you.

1-write amazing songs 2-write amazing songs 3-write amazing songs 4-all the rest

Fantastic video! I've been gearing up for a round of press releases, etc, and I was dreading it (because it's so much time spent not actually playing music). After watching the video, though, I'm totally enthused about connecting with real people. Just what I needed. Thanks, Justin! :)

This is what I really needed to hear.. Thank you so much.

Really good stuff, Justin. Thanks for posting! And yes absolutely write great songs with great lyrics and take time in the studio to make the recordings as solid as possible. But you're so right you have to do the work of getting your music out to people!

Thank you for the time you took making this. This is just what I was looking for! By far one of the most helpful videos I've come across.

GREAT WORDS OF WISDOM MUCH NEEDED THANKS FOR BREAKING THIS DOWN IN SUCH A WAY PPL CAN UNDERSTAND

absolutely spot on! Don't come from a position of 'fear.' You must remember that 'you are YOU' and they ... are they! There's enough room for everyone and everyone brings something to the table. I agree that envy, jealousy are negative emotions that don't serve you well. Unfortunately, we all know that there are people who have little to no talent in the music business who are 'up there in lights'. You've got to simply be yourself, forget about them and concentrate on who you are and where you're going and what steps or strategies will help you get there. At the end of the day, the most important factor is to enjoy your musical journey.

This is EXACTLY what my heart has been telling me. Watching and listening to you has assured me to listen to my heart more often. Thankyou!

Thank you, Justin, you are amazing and must be a blessing to work with.Great advice looking forward to watching other videos of yours.
