Winning A Grammy (2x), Making $30k Per Month Changed My Life | No Labels Necessary #39 ft JR Mckee

[@NORBZMUSIC]

Great show. I'm indy and do 200+ Million streams a year under a collective of artist names, it's all possible without labels now, great time to be a producer/artist hybrid.

[@sontwisted]

How are you accomplishing that

[@NORBZMUSIC]

@@sontwisted Correction: I'm now well over 3Billion streams :) - TikTok just blew a few of my tracks out of the water, video is on my channel. I do it by publishing under hundreds of artist names. I producer in every genre and I started to partition my genres into different artists because doing them all under one name leaves you lost (my main NORBZ artist account is just that, a mish mash of genres).. once I did that I started to create tons of both SEO and simple aliases to target different demos/pockets, and it eventually just bubbled into a powerful process that we (there's a small team of us) keep scaling and expanding now.

[@GudXM]

@@NORBZMUSIC 1500 monthly listeners on main artist page and 3b streams? 🤔

[@NORBZMUSIC]

@@GudXM Probably one of my smallest accounts ;). Like I said I operate as hundreds of artist names, you can see a few of them top right of my homepage..

[@LouYorkLife]

Congratulations, homie!

[@ocleadinlady]

39:00 definitely learned this marketing an artist, breaking an artist and breaking a record are Soo different! Thanks for speaking on this…because NOBODY talks about it

[@sstevens4252]

I thought about grad school and came here instead. The value and the knowledge is unmatched. Appreciate you all so much for busting the gate wide open and putting the knowledge where everyone can get it. I do feel like a will need a degree or certificate at some point though after completing your course!

Intro 31:38

[@blackstereotypetv]

So much game that can really be used as an independent label and artist! 🔥🔥🔥This is exactly what us up an coming artist and labels need, so we can maneuver the right way in this music game!

[@goosepark]

Yo Brandman! You’ve came a long way and over time you’ve been consistently consistent at releasing content. Although, so may not watch every video, the ones I do watch brings so much knowledge and information that I have to stop, take time to say thanks king!!! - Goose Pärk

[@exelbeats]

Salute on them 2 Grammys Fam! Thats a huge accomplishment and very inspirational.

[@BstarsWorld]

Oh Yeah, Jazmine is the secret weapon for sure‼️🔥

[@LaynoProd]

[@SOULASPHEREMUSIC]

It’s Women’s History Month and I’m inspired to hear him speak about these Queens behind the scenes ✍️ To all the Queen Writers, Artists, Filmmakers keep going! Your gifts inspire us, and I hope you know just how much we love and appreciate you🙌🏾🤎👑

bro giving out free game

[@GoMikeG]

Been waiting for the interviews to pop up this is a great one to have first. Mad respect

[@ILOVEYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOU]

Can’t wait till y’all either on Drink Champs or just as big this literally my favorite channel right now 🙏🏾💫

[@darkskinwhite]

Well, executives and managers have been on drink champs, but guys who run a marketing agency? I mean yeah why not, maybe in 10 years or so. That would be sweet

[@ILOVEYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOUYOU]

@@darkskinwhite I have confidence that these two will be much bigger than you think and will have an influence that will change how we think of music as a whole. they’re niche right now but as this channel grows and develops and maybe expands on different topics , gets a few more Co-signs and bigger artist to come on the show they will definitely be on Drink Champs.

[@mr.rbthemarkwilliams5046]

[@JimmyjimjimHabababa]

Congratulations on y’all first guest🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@metrorockmusic]

Amazing pod! Question: JR was talking about direct to consumer tactics with web 3.0. Selling album in advance without having to wait for distribution collection and payout which takes a few months. Other than band camp, do you have any other suggestions on how/where to do that? And what is the benefit for consumer to do that as opposed to waiting til the music drops on streaming platforms? Thanks!

[@némecislaninfadelbarrio]

ok I just saw this episode in full, this is a jewel 💎 thank you guys!

[@NateNittii]

30k monthly from what downloads on iTunes cuz it takes streaming services at least 3 months jus to pay your distributor who then pays you

[@BobbyWashingtonMusic]

The first initial payment takes 3 months after that if the downloads are consistent then you get paid monthly after the first 3 month wait.
