Become a Professional Music Producer (i.e. get paid for your music).

In the world of YouTube Music Producers Gurus who claim to be “making it”, the same ones who proudly share their multiple music revenue streams where 70% is YouTube Ad revenue from talking about music production, 20% is from selling online courses and 10% is from selling MIDI packs… I am here to tell you that You can absolutely make a living from selling your actual music if it’s good enough. It does not have to be the best. It simply needs to be good enough and I am living proof of that.

In 2007, having already accumulated 7 years of experience in music production and with the conviction that it would remain a long-term pursuit, I faced two issues.

The first problem I faced was that throughout my twenties, I absolutely loved creating all sorts of music—from Orchestral Cinematic to Hip Hop, DubStep, D’n’b, and Electro, just to name a few. However, I constantly felt guilty for not making up my mind and sticking to a single genre in order to become exceptionally skilled and gain recognition as an artist within that specific genre.

Problem number TWO was that If I was going to be “only good” at a few genres I would never be good enough to make a living from my music.

Luckily, I was wrong…

Fast forward to today, I can honestly say I’ve become a much better music producer overall. The best part is, I’m actually making a living from my music, selling/licensing it to people who genuinely enjoy it. While my tracks might not be hitting the radio charts, they’re definitely good enough to be featured in various TV shows, adverts, and movies across the globe. And you know what? I genuinely believe that you can do it too if you have a passion for making music!
