I am 65 and am still producing music. You are never too old...

Age don't matter but you ain't got forever, start today.

Quincy Jones produced thriller at the age of 50! End of story

I'm 53 from Harlem and I'm creating hot ass songs beats & rhymes. So age is just a number. Keep doing what you love..

Im 75 and still DJin and making dope music

I’m 49, and needed this... Bolo! Thank you for the encouraging and inspiring message, man!

47yrs and still doing what I love. I don't need the money, it's just my stress releaver and I enjoy the start to finish.

I'm 49, been in the game since '87.. Can't ever quit..

I'm 39 years old, and I've been making music in my bedroom studio since the pandemic hit.. Its been the best decision I've ever made. This video is very inspiring. Much respect

I'm 54. Been into Hip Hop since it inception. I still dance and make beats for old and young. There is still so much more to learn everyday. Shout out to the O.G.'a still banging out beats in 2021!

Man I’m 50 and still at it! I spent most of my working career in the insurance business all while producing and dj’ing at night or whenever I could. Don’t ever stop keep going...your business sense and creativity will get better as you age!

Been making beats since 84...im 49 and creating my best work ever...im more focused now because I'm settled down and I know what works for me and what doesn't. I'm always willing to try something new though...

Bro, I'm 44 and just got into beat making about a year ago. It's never late to go after what you love or pursue a passion of yours. So to everyone out here following their dreams, passions or just doing whatever it is you love, RESPECT! Keep doing you. At the end of the day, you get one chance at this craziness called life.

So inspiring to hear 🙌🙌🙌🙌

55 and still in love with the creation process

Great speech brotha great speech! 👏🏼🙏🏼✊🏼💯

I'm 35, having a good life, working hard. When I'm 65, retiring, my beats will blow up in 2046.

I'm 47, and yes, time is worth the wait.

I’m 56 and I’m still doing music production and DJing and I’m loving it and I will continue to do it. I think the old heads have more experience with it anyway. Thanks for this video!

If you love to write music.. it doesn’t matter how old you are.. very true...

I’m only 24 but I still get stressed out thinking about how I’m gonna make this work. This really helps put things into perspective that it doesn’t all have to happen right away for it to work out. Love the inspiration!🙏

I'm 36 years old as of yesterday and didn't have a song on the Billboard charts until I was 30 years old

The ADVANTAGE of being a producer or beat maker is age DOESN'T MATTER we are not on stage we are in the studio making HEAT ....... FACTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

For me, music is a hobby and I'll keep playing until I go deaf or my hands stop working.

I am 53 and I am still singing. It is never too late. Thank you for this.✊🏾

Shout to the 65 year olds like myself who loves producing instrumental/instructional music videos.

I am late 50s, still touring solo shows, composing and singing songs for film, tv and whatever.

Chuck D damn near 60 and he still killing it (Edit) he's past 60

Truth! Turned 31 this year and I'm finding more success than ever before. Appreciate this

Babyface is one those older guys is still producing & singing songs in 2021

As a 34 year old artist/producer myself, this video is a Godsend. Thank you.

thank you for your words of encouragement I 'm a musician in my 50's and this speech gave me the confidence to keep voing forward no matter my age ✌😎

"Weather you think you can, or weather you think you can't, you are right." - Henry Ford. The only barriers that exist are the ones in your mind.

I'm 43 still rap. I just use 'Just For Men' and keep going. Great video Bro!

That intro 😂 I’m 30 and I needed this

We play, perform and produce because we love the music. What it does to the people and us feels amazing.

This is so true. A lot of the most successful people in this industry ARE older because it took them THAT long to get noticed. This is about the long game. I started a band when I was 16, played locally, wrote songs, moved from Tampa to Nashville, and signed my first record deal at 27, and that was 7 years ago! Lol Long story short. It takes time!

If you’re old, you can still come up with fresh ideas. You also can be young and walk around like a insomniac not realizing what’s around you.

I’m 30+ years in this and I don't plan on stopping til death... and/or get a plaque and a Grammy (scoring) 😎🥃💯 It’s not being cocky, it's being confident. Don't get it twisted.

I'm 57 and I get alot of fan mail songs got mad hits if you have the ears and you can make some heat that's all you need.

Im 26 and just got into producing, I've always felt like I'm getting into this hobby late or too late but this video is a breath of fresh air for me. Cheers my dude

I’m about to be 41. Stay rocking! 💪🏽🤘🏽

I'm 48 still making music ready to quit my job

You're never to old to produce records because Producers work behind the scenes. 40 year veteran Record Producer *Ron Fair* is one of the oldest Producers in the game that's 66 years that's still active that's produced all Keisha Coles stuff, Mary J. Blige - Be Without You, Pussy Cat Dolls and Where Is The love ft. Justin Timberlake. He's a Record Producer, Arranger, Conductor, Recording Engineer, Executive Producer, A&R, Record Executive, former chief officer that ran quite a few Labels. Babyface, Terry Lewis and Jimmy Jam are also closer to Ron Fairs age still active.

You knw "We" needed this!....at 1 point you will ask yourself,wht the hell am I doing!

Being 52 .. from Belgium country of New Beat .. never to old to produce good sh..t. thanks for he speech Sir ...

The main pop producers are well into their 60’s. You’ll never see these guys, yet they’ve cornered the market.

Age is all about how you feel you can never compare people that are the same age, if you're still alive and still have the drive you still have a reason to strive. Be blessed because unfortunately people today don't live to see 20's and 30's anymore, that's why it pays to listen to people with wisdom because you might learn a thing or two.

I turn 50 this year. Never ever cared about what anyone says. I go to school to learn another vocation this year, but I will be be making beats for life.

i starting making beats at 16 years age old now 21 years ago I’m still making beats this day...

I'm 41 and sometimes get discouraged but it is what it is. I ain't twerking or nothing. Loved this btw!

There are niche markets for production. Everyone doesn’t have to aim for popular top 40 charts. I’m quite content with my independent grind catering to my loyal yet small fan base. So many platforms for musicians to enter the game and do very well. Licensing, video game and film production listen elder statesmen/stateswomen...this man is dropping jewels. Much needed and inspirational. 😎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Awesome vid bro! This message is so underrated from what's primarily shown in the public eye. True music lovers could care less about somebody's age, we care for the music keep going sir! Much respect to you and all music creators! Peace&PositiveEnergy!!

Okay Unc Bolo 😂 we hear you loud and clear. Thank you for inspiring us.👏🏾👏🏾

55 and I love making music(House Music). Although I've made many hip-hop and r&b tracks for people, house is still my first love. Music is music!!

Hell yea! I’m 31 and I’m out here in Dallas gettin it!

Real talk brethren. I’ll be 50 this year. And I’m still very passionate about music production. I definitely get called “O.G.” as well. It’s a sign of respect for that earned wisdom for sure. Keep sharing these gems, and STAY CREATIVE. Peace...Netm8kr 👍🏾✌🏾

I‘m 65, I think there is little hope for big success. If you release a song, but nobody knows you? At least this happened to me. Release at the end of October, only about 900 accesses in 5 months on KZfaq. But I‘m pleased, how should people know what to search for. You can‘t search for a Nobody. There is no reason to spend a lot of money on advertising the song. I wrote this after reading the headline, only now I‘m going to watch your video. 😁

42. had the MPC X for about 6 weeks. love this message. not aiming at changing the world just want to make something out of nothing

Love the channel, Being born in 72’ and having lived in Philly from 84-86, hip-hop is in my blood, I’ll never stop pushing buttons and twisting knobs. Verdad!

One day my dad pulled me and my brothers aside and said, “you guys are getting older - someday you’ll be better looking than me. You might even be stronger. But you’ll never be smarter.”

Here for the motivational speech🧠👀💯

I was just talking about this the other day. Forget the labels and make your own path.

27 is crazy tho I’m only 16 now and gold this motivates me to keep going when I’m older 🙏🏾

you definitely an OG worth due respect 👌🏾 appreciate you for this and all of your contributions to the culture big dawg. you were making shit happen during some of the most pivotal times in music, and your hard work has shaped the game !

I will be 26 next month and I just started learning producing...I was doing it in my earlier 20s but stopped to pursue "better" things but no matter how much I try it's the only thing I wanna do it's the only thing that sets my soul on fire....am not gonna lie am kinda doubtful of myself give me some encouragement guys

E-40 definitely been putting out dope music at 50 actually i think he raps better now than he did when he was in his 20s

I'm 43 years old this year and really needed this. Thank you!

"Some of these artists are OLD." How old is old, Bolo? "27, 28..." 😭😭😭 BRUH.

I'm 47 and still gunning for producing to be my job.

I'm 49. I love studying music and how to become more original with my sounds i create. Trying to earn how to compose and read music now. Mixing is easy. Keep at it. The old heads started rap.

Im 50 years old and still.doing what I love

NEVER STOOP THE LEVEL OF KIDS MAKE THEM STEP UP TO YOURS . IM 43 DAM NEAR 44 AN ITS NOTHING

Much Blessing to EVERY Producer that see this Comment

46 here...didn't start making any real money in music til 32 and didn't start touring internationally til 34. THANK YOU for saying this! It REALLY needs to be said...it seems like ageism is the last socially acceptable form of discrimination, esp towards females, and its utterly absurd, esp considering what life expectancy is now. Ppl are living well into their 90s these days... And I also loved what you said about wisdom. I would add its not just wisdom regarding your craft and making money, but also emotional wisdom in the form of self awareness, not taking things so personally, being able to regulate your own reactions w the right self talk, understanding how to read ppl and knowing how to communicate effectively - this is worth its weight in gold esp in creative and business situations.

I'm 32, started writing music in high school, never really tried to write a hit, I just like the mental exercise of writing music.

I’m 38 and I’m just making beats on KZfaq because I feel I’m too old but I enjoy making beats too much

It doesn’t matter your age but Aint No Rapper in the Game on my level lyrically 👹

I recently did a synth swap with an 80 year old, all the inspiration I need! I'm 46 now

Hey I"m 59 and taking my time. I got turned on to Fruity Loops back in day. MPC Touch soon after. Now I create with Native Instruments Maschine MK3. I am not new to it....Just TRUE to it.

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, I've reached "Unk," "Big Bro," and "O.G." status myself. That's how I knew I was no longer young. It's all good.

I saw age doesn’t matter and came to comment a “how to catch a predator joke”

Shiiiid, I'm 52 and just started learning how to produce after DJing for 20 + years........I do it for the love of music

Needed to hear that. I’m 36... been doing this seriously since I was 15.

I had my peak(sales wise) when I was 31. Now I am 51 and things are really taking off again. Everything is possible.

Still relatively young.. confident but I've struggled with this. Thank you for covering it

50. Spittin' better than ever.

I'm 51 and I am now just starting to chase my dream of being a Dj/music producer as my side hustle. Thanks for the speech!

The intro got me LIKE ---- haha BOLO.....

I really appreciate you doing this video. I just turned 28 and started really taking this shit serious less than a year ago. I know I got what it takes but this really boosted my confidence further. Much love!

50 and making the sweetest, dopest, coolest productions of my life. Physical aging sucks, but I friggin' love getting older, IME everything gets easier and better when you're wiser and established.

I've been hustling and about to hit 30 this year, finally starting to make some decent money doing this but it's still a long road, at this point I'm just trying to be the best possible producer and musician as possible. I figure if I'm really really freakin good, then there's no real reason I shouldn't be able to make a living doing this. I got sober and have been dedicated to sync licensing, music live streaming, gigs, video production, and more. It's been exciting watching things slowly come together and I'm happy to hear that my age isn't gonna keep me from getting there.

I’m 27 and I felt like I was getting close to the age deadline 🤣 def needed to hear this

I'm 40 and i'm hella close to getting my first placement. It's happening for us🔥🔥

she got it is one of my all-time favorites. Thanks again! matter of fact I'm playing that right now💯

Istg I was jus thinking about this all day yesterday, I’m 34 & tryna get bacc in it. Right on time

I'll be coming back to this every now and again. Thank you for posting this. I'm 40 and just starting to deep dive into making music. I've messed around with sound for years, since Acid Pro 3.0, but I just started deep diving into learning now.

I'm 55 and work with platinum artist. I was told many times in my younger days that i was ahead of my time. Good talk Bolo.

I'm 67 and still cooking, my own style and haven't had a placement yet...but I keep on kicking after 5 years with love and persistence...👍👍

I'm 55 and still going on strong with my music
