Spacey #beatbattle entry R2
How's it going? Here is my entry for the #beatbattle R2. This what I envision would play in a space elevator. This beat starts off with a very basic drum that's been filtered. I added some old keyboard

Have you earned it? Do you deserve it?
I get emailed quite a bit by artists asking for strategies to grow their fan base. These artists feel like their music deserves way more eyes than the ones they are getting. They tell me that growing a

Are people listening to your music?
What do you do when your music doesn't do well? Sometimes it's difficult as musicians when we put music out there for people to enjoy, but we can barely get people to lend an ear to what we've made. We

How well do you play with others?
As musicians, we live very introspective lives. We usually have a place we go to create in peace. This place is often our sanctuary when we need alone time. This process of creation makes us somewhat insecure

Solve your problem
I don't encourage moaning about your problems, but today I'll make an exception. I want you to look at your creative career and I want you to moan about everything that you don't like about your industry.

Give yourself a chance
Diversify your artistic portfolio by doing as much as you can. It's shocking how many people consult me and tell me they have this one song and they believe in it so much. They believe in it so much that

I employed the help of a friend for this one on the guitar. I asked him for something happy yet mellow and this is what I got. If you listen on, you'll hear a whistle that goes throughout the chorus. My

Dwelling by Silas
How's it going? This is an instrumental that I created with a story-teller rapper/singer in mind. It starts out quite simply with an 808 and some light synths. This develops as the verse moves along and

I started a 30 Day beat challenge two weeks ago. I kind of failed to document it well on Steemit, but I’ve remained up to date with it on all other social media platforms. It’s the second time I’ve done

Why should you always strive to improve?
I was talking to an artist at the end of 2017 and he was asking me a few questions about how he can dominate in the music industry in 2018. His opening line was, "I've perfected my craft so now I

Fathom - Day 7 #30DayBeatChallenge
This is probably my most commercial beat yet in this challenge. I had fun throwing in all the synthesizers and programming that 808-kick combo.
