It's so hard to promote original music, online or in person. I make psychedelic funk/synth pop. But because it isn't the same as everyone else's psych-pop it's been super hard to gain a following. Ive tried ads on all social media across the board. Ive tried selling cds face to face with people. And everything in between it seems. And for me personally it's been 5 years of no reach and little to no community interaction. It can be really hard to stay motivated in times like this. But it's something we have to do 🙏

I went to the one that was at the Riviera Theatre like 2013ish? This was around the time he made the song with one of my former classmates Chance "Life Round Here". That concert had the same vibes but with significantly less people. Im happy to see James evolution over the years being different from most of the other artists out today. One of the best artists imo that hasn't switched up

@OloffMusic 2 ай бұрын

This is brilliant, a really well made point and such a nicely shot and acted video. It's pretty sad the way that things have gone, but I guess in a lot of ways it's better than it was 20 or 30 years ago when the only artists who could get anywhere were the ones with record deals. There's still some vague whisper of meritocracy, even if it's being suffocated by industry shilling, social media influencer culture and fake streams. I think the best time to be an artist was probably the MySpace era though, somewhere around that time. The labels hadn't really figured out the internet yet, and it was sort of the Wild West. Some of the music was pretty bad but there was just a feeling of freedom and that anyone could make it, regardless of whether or not they were good at TikTok or had a successful Mukbang channel or whatever.

@klarekins2586 2 ай бұрын

I am absolutely blown away. James I truly very deeply admire your willingness to stand up against a system that is taking advantage and quite obviously, as you displayed in this commentary, abusing you. you deserve a life in which you can act on your own free will. yes we live in a society in which we cannot deny our responsibilities to one another in the economy, but overall it has always been and forever will be not okay to exploit people ever, for economic purposes or in any situation ever. AND the purpose of the arts has also always been and forever will be to provide commentary on the things we do not like about society, and if art has been commodified so so much to the extent that it cannot deliver this purpose there is a problem. shagging the algorithm is fine if you have a choice, it's not even to shame that. it's moreso if you dont have a choice and it is affecting your ability to be authentic as an artist. i'm very very glad you have been able to make this video and live your truth and im just telling you now i SEE you i FEEL you and i greatly RESPECT you for being vulnerable and making a statement against the system. Bravo James this is truly what artists should be doing. PS. i studied sustainability, business, and systems change so i really admire people standing up to the system. PSS. Have you seen the Chanel de Bleu commercial with Timothée Chalamet? He also wants an exodus from all the baggage of celebrity life. Maybe you should hit him up ;) ilysm James keep sharing your truth because we are HERE FOR IT I PROMISE!

JB hitting the nail right on the head! I absolutely despise putting my phone in front of me and pressing record (different with an actual camera), but that’s all these corporations and algorithms seem to understand. And yet, labels etc. keep wondering why they’re not making as much as they used to or why big artists can’t maintain a steady paying fan base. They swear we’re not organic creatures anymore. It would be nice if they focused on sourcing and developing talent rather than just trying to leech off the groundwork artists now have to do since labels are functionally extinct. I know there’s a way to leverage SM for promo and such, but I will never do a Tik Tok dance or any of the other obnoxious BS folks claim is the only way to make waves. Shouts to Sir Blake for expressing how we organic musicians have been feeling these days. Please keep creating art, the ppl are hungry for substance again.
