Top Comments of this video!! :3
I've been producing for over a year and have been singing my whole life. I seriously don't know what I'd do without music. While I'd rather stay independent MAYBE, being signed to a label would still be cool I think. I just want to spread a message and give people a voice they can rely on with my music. I LOVE my craft and I truly do believe in myself. I believe that I can make a difference. Thank you for these videos, Adam.

This video summarized why you have to already have an audience and basically be independently successful or else a label won't sign you. That's absolutely false. There are interviews, such as with the A&R of Atlantic Records that says they sign people without an audience who have legitimate talent. Your video is wrong, and you are just shilling your website to make money. Don't act complacent when you are making videos with factually incorrect information. If you really cared about helping people to get signed, you would give them an option that isn't winning a popularity contest in a social media algorithm. What's the point of getting signed if you already built your brand? There is none. The label makes a 80/20 split so you can obtain an audience through their networks and sacrifice your profits to them. So confused why this video is saying you can't be successful without social media, when there are so many people with 50k followers and more. None of them are getting signed just because people tell them they have a cute dog in their personal life posts.

honestly i’ve watched like 10 videos on this and this one has been the only helpful one out of them. you didn’t have a groundless positivity but you weren’t like you can’t do it go home. you were realistic and told me exactly what i have to do as a beginner and made me get into that state of mind. i really hope i can make it one day and if i really do, you are going to be a part of it so thank you!

I rather be independent with a little bit of fans than be signed to a record label. I rather do everything on my own. Now I only get 700 plays per month for my music, but I rather grow my fan base on my own. 7 years in the Indies and been producing for 11. I made it on 10 compilations and a mixtape and won 2 awards. I appreciate what you teach. I'm not that good at marketing, but I like learning more and more. I feel like doing it on your own is more rewarding than the 1% that were handed the deal. Also, as a music producer in EDM. I like full credit of the whole music project. I don't need song writters and ghost producers. I learned everything on my own. Don't mean to diss pop and the one percent that get signed, but everyone else is doing the creativity for them. I rather be independent doing it on my own. Sorry for the lengthy post. Much respect for you Adam.
