👇 ABOUT ME:
Hey! I’m Damian Keyes and I've worked with musicians every day of my life for the past 20 years. The internet is de ply untrusting understandably and here is my background so you can have the full picture.
When I was 18, I was signed to a major label and at 23 I co-founded a Music University in Europe called BIMM (valued at $300M). I’m also a bass player, I’ve played for a number of artists including Eric Clapton, Alanis Morrisette and Billy Cobham. I initially retired at 30, but realised that life gets boring if you’re not building!
I have always been in-between the music industry and education which is how I ended up building my KZfaq channel - I’ve been teaching artists how to release music long before it was a ‘niche’! I now educate artists around the world with my Academy, KZfaq channel and Social Agency.
It’s great to meet you and looking forward to working together on your music!

@mwj5368 3 ай бұрын

How has it gone in the past year? When you made the I think 60 second required Tik Tok video did you have to do a comical take as it seems you must in order to get attention? I mean do a crazy dance as you sing etc or can you just simply sing? I don't have a band, just myself and guitar and sometimes harmonica too, and piano. I just went to your channel and can't find any of your songs but a lot of vocal training videos. You aren't really a songwriter and performing original songs so the Tik Tok video you created was to attract people into your baritone vocalist lessons? How have Damian's techniques worked for you?

Genuine questions: How many copies of your release have you sold to date? If you graph your sales per day, what curve does the graph plot? What is the nett profit on your total sales to date i.e. total sales minus sales, distribution, marketing, production and living expenses?

@denniskielton2447 Жыл бұрын

Greta job man, breaking down the process here. Sooo many people have no idea how to do this, and its VERY important now in the post-record label age. Labels did everything for us before, (unfortunately,) and now we need t learn to do it all ourselves. Production no longer costs a ridiculous amount, advertisement doesn't either, booking isn't very hard either. But if you have no clue how to even start, then you will never get there. I really feel like most people just need a starting point and a tiny bit of guidance, just to get them running in the right direction, then If they're dedicated they'll run it the rest of the way. For years I've been looking for the insight that's in this channel, so really, thanks dude you're a credit to the industry!

We are living in a very strange times for artists ! I myself am a musician (classical) and a composer ! I’m definitely going to try this ! I do think though that people now a days see (as you say) so much content in a day … I think at the end of the day they don’t even remember what they’ve seen ! As evil as the music industry has been throughout the years and we all know by now , they had a structure of how to get out to the public with the ‘actual big artists’ from the past as we know them ! I think those days are over of that kind of stardom… maybe I’m wrong but… time will tell…
