Blanks strikes again! If you don't know him, he's a musician Youtuber that writes songs on his channel with his Instagram followers - great concept! This is the last one they wrote and it 's a masterpiece of songwriting and music!

Osaka Nights - Marc Schmieder​
Marc is a student that came to one of my
coaching sessions last week. He makes a very unique blend of chillhop, synthwave and pop rock music which is why I wanted to share with you his latest album, which is inspired by his trip to Japan.

❀️ | My Favourite Resources For Music Artists


πŸŽ₯ Editorial Playlist Pitching (Video) - I have watched quite a few videos on "how to pitch to editorial playlists" but this one must be the best so far! It is simple, very authentic, and made by an artist that keeps getting editorial playlists placement.

πŸŽ› Fiverr (Marketplace) - I get a lot of people asking me where do I get my vocals or where do I find singers... Fiverr! It might take time to find the right person but when you do, the delivery is fast, the quality is great and the price is cheaper than "professional" singers you might find somewhere else! For example, I got the vocals for my cover of "Forget Me" in less than 3 days!

Hey Reader, I have a good and a bad news for you today, which one do you want first? Good news? Okay. The good news is that you're not bad at music. You already have the skills and experience. Now for the bad news… The bad news is that nobody knows you exist. If nobody knows what you do, how do you expect them to hire you or buy from you? That they’ll magically find you on SoundBetter?! I don’t think so. There's a difference between: β†’ being skilled and being hireable. β†’ being talented and...

Hey Reader, I’m a black sheep, I’ll admit it. I’m stubborn and I never do what I’m told. A true Aries β™ˆοΈ You could argue that it has its cons (and I agree), but I like to focus on the pros. Let me take you back to when I was 6 years old. At school during recess, I wasn’t with any of the other girls in my class. I was on the soccer field playing soccer with the guys. In high school, I was told to go for a scientific master. I chose applied arts. And after my applied arts studies, I wanted to...
