Fcking inspiring!! Thanks for sharing...

A very touching story, truely. Smiles that appears on your face at each significant step tell a lot. You can be proud of what you achieved, keep producing good music, we love you ! Peace !

Where in SA are you from?

Trying to place the accent. I know you're in UK but I'm guessing SA?

Good story mate, just goes to show if you put the effort in eventually it will work out. Are you still in Bournemouth? I’m based in Ferndown just starting out later in life learning music production.

Thanks so much! 🙏

@@BoundtoDivide SERIOUSLY. That's where everyone goes wrong, where everyone gives up. Personally I don't understand at all why people totally give up when they need to get a job, I've always just viewed the job as a way to support my music, even if its 40 hours a week, it's still my "second job." But it takes some serious cajones to say "no THIS is what I'm doing" when your e tire family is telling you you're wrong. I guess you showed them the truth. In reality, EVERY business operates at a loss for the first few years, even McDonalds (especially McDonalds) think about how much it costs to build one and start one, and consider how long they'll need to do good business to pay that off. The MOST successful businesses take a few years to get up & running, Netflix took a couple years I think to even become profitable. Look at them now, they're literally the kings of streaming, which is definitely the new standard model fro damn near everything. Good on you for standing up for yourself. This is a business just like any other, you go for it and put all you have into it and are prepared to make the necessary sacrifices, and you'll most likely make it. Only reason we as a community think it's hard to become a musician is because we've all heard a million stories of how people blew up famous out of nowhere. But it's never out of nowhere, it's after someone with resources to invest discovers them and decides it's a sound business decision to invest in this person, make a pro record and promote the shit out of it, and pay to get it played on every radio station (those huge companies usually own the stations, so it ain't hard for them) NO ONE just gets lucky. They work their ass off. So thanks for this video dude, I wish more people would do these. I just think of it compared to sports. throughout school theres sooo many parents that push their kids wayyy too hard into sports and force them to revolve their entire life around it, as if they'll ever have a career in it. There's a finite number of positions in the sports world, only so many people can play. Scholarships are the only legit reason to push for sport (especially with the potentially life altering injuries that high schoolers keep getting.) Music on the other hand, has just as many or more scholarships available, and no matter how many of us there are in the world, there's ALWAYS room for more. In fact, the more of us there are and the more popular it gets, the more we ALL make from it. So keep up the good work brother, we need more of this in the world, keep on the Good fight!

@@denniskielton2447 this dude doesn’t care what we think, he got what he needed, some views, likes, comments, and subs. From one grift to the next. climbing that ladder and pretending he’s “one of us” and that “we can make it”. Feeding that dream, feeds his subs and views.

@@denniskielton2447 ​thanks for the message! Def agree with you - I’m a believer in the abundance mindset! 🙏

@@auxorion I think YT is definitely guilty of selling that dream and dangling the carrot - don't think it's quite fair to call this guy out himself on it though. I think his story resonates with a lot of people trying. Even though I hate the YT carrot-dangling - i.e. there's always a chosen few, whether that's the algorithms or so-called algorithms - I think it's fair to say that YT more than anything else has the potential to give you the traffic to make something of your efforts. I'm grateful for this video as a source of inspiration and some hope when you do end up banging your head against the door a lot of the time trying to make some sort of living from music. My take-home from this is that YT can be a significant turning point. You're nothing without an audience, I'm happy this guy found one :) - whether he cares or not ( I suspect he does).

Thank you so much! 🫶🏻🫂

Thanks for sharing! Best of luck!

There are gazillions of software developer jobs.

@@MrMikomi for seniors and experienced developers. Roles for juniors with 0 experience is way harder to find or at least get a phone call.

Wow ! I just closed my studio. 6 years of my hard work and money. Thanks for this video !

@@EVM_ENT why'd you close it?

I mean, this is crazy the parallel between his story and mine as well. I work IT. I don’t want to be a 9-5er my whole life. I have a family that relies on my financial support and I love making music more than anything in this world. Such an inspiration right here. This may be the most important video I watch.

I'm confused, should I do IT or marketing as a side job ? IT pays well but marketing looks relevant to music career 😮

So true!

Thank you so much for all the support and all the kind words! Really appreciate it

If you know maths you know music. It is maths

@@drmuzik I'll try my best to find their relationships and use them wisely. Thank you man!

Thanks brother ❤️❤️

Glad you enjoyed it! Will check out your releases! ❤

Thanks buddy! 🙏 haha thats awesome 😎
