So I Interviewed The Biggest Songwriter in The World (Justin Tranter interview)

[@ArtbyAtlas]

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite series on YT 🌟

[@DanielsWall]

Your comment has officially made my day! This means the world. It's really incredible to see this series connecting with so many people!!!🥳✨

[@ImGotenTv]

Same

[@ArtbyAtlas]

@@DanielsWall Keep up the great work, my guy!

[@bille77]

Uuhm... Why does he talk like that? Like gay folk sometimes speak...?!?

[@engine_erin]

I can see why artists always asked to have him back for writing sessions. Not just because of his talent, but because of his demeanor. He seems like a really cool guy to work with.

[@music777u]

He really seems humble and also very kind ❤

[@stevemyers2092]

great energy...... that's the key

[@anorexorcistburger]

Justin and Julia are definitely my favorite songwriters of this generation.

[@DanielsWall]

DYNAMIC DUO!!!

[@Hexspa]

Julia who?

[@austinb5063]

@@HexspaMichaels lol

[@ivanmadethis]

Absolutely loved every second of this! Justin seems like so much fun to be around and his honesty and openness about all this is refreshing. We need more people like him!!

[@OtherMike5000]

Excellent interview. You let the interview speak! Justin is refreshingly honest. Great choice.

[@micahcollamer2842]

Who would have thought that Justin Tranter would be such a genuine and fun person. Great interview - 5 stars ⭐️

[@genrasputin]

I think its important to know who these songwriters are because Justin Tranter probably has 10 billion plus streams on his back and not a lot of people know that. Love this series sm

[@DanielsWall]

So Important! The hope with this series is to shine a light on the people behind the wall we don't get to hear from as much and if we can add a few thousand people to that list, we are that much closer to showing the world Justin Tranter and so many others! Also, 24 billion streams on Spotify alone for Justin :) (but when I felt like adding it up one day, and it's probably grown since)

[@wackerburg]

What a great bloke! Authentic, talented and hard-working. He deserves all the success and more 🏆

[@rach_rxch]

I randomlly landed on this video (thx YT algo) and literally couldn't quite watching. Love it. Well done. Great interview. Keep it up!

[@DanielsWall]

So happy it connected with you heyraeh! Glad you randomly landed on it too - welcome to the series :)

[@malovina]

Sooooo cool! I always wanted to be in the industry, but never wanted it that bad that I worked at it. Seeing the scoops from writers and singers has always been a favorite pastime. Thank you for this!

[@DanielsWall]

I'm glad it connected with you Malovina - definitely brought a new perspective to me on the music industry as well!

[@malovina]

@@DanielsWallwould you do one with Mike Shinoda at all? :) Would be cool to see his process.

[@EternalSilence4ever]

I love this interview. I love how refreshingly honest this was. I'm not a songwriter. I'm a music listener that streams and watches.

[@malovina]

This interview needs more views! 💜

[@DanielsWall]

Appreciate you - at the end of the day, if we can add a few thousand more people to know who Justin Tranter is, we've made the impact we're striving for! The goal is to shine a light on all the people who are usually behind the scenes and I appreciate you for helping our goal become a reality with Justin Tranter

[@malovina]

@@DanielsWall absolutely! Thank you for bringing talent in and sharing their stories!!

[@backacheache]

​@@DanielsWallI know what you mean, I didn't know Max Martin until I saw the jukebox musical "&Juliet" that showcases his work. Thanks for revealing another "man behind the curtain" to me

[@onejobmusic]

Man, I love this episode....This series is just tood good. When is the behind the scenes with OneRepublic coming. Really excited for that one!

[@DanielsWall]

So happy it's connecting! It's on the way :)

[@neocollective]

What a lovely guy !, and a straight shooter, go getter, hard working pro. Who wouldn't want to work with him !? Great interview !!

[@DinoArchon]

I think coming from a rock band and being a band member teaches one major collaborative skills and team work that are necessary for co-writing songs with others. Also the fact that he is an accomplished singer allows his songwriting to be expressed and be showcased to the artists that would end up singing the song. Singing your own songs allows you to be emotionally connected to the song and that really comes through in trying to communicate its essence. Great interview . . . and money isn't everything, but it helps. He looks after his parents!! Great man.

[@ScottSmithMusic]

I got a lot of good information here as far as advice for songwriters. Justin was detailed with the tips and being it’s through experience, it was cool of him and helpful. Cool guy. Great interview!

[@acoyamusic]

What a great conversation, love hearing from songwriters especially one as prolific as Justin Tranter 🙌🏼

[@DanielsWall]

This means the world! So Happy The Video Connected with you!

[@acoyamusic]

You're the best man @@DanielsWall

[@bestlifeever1211]

I'm a new topliner and songwriter. 2 things I know are true. 1. Your series connects me with so many REAL working artists. I don't really know anyone in the industry so this helps a lot. 2. One day you'll interview me and I'll give you a big hug and thank you for being honest and keeping things real in an industry where it seems like no one actually knows anything about anything.

[@mohammedsajid6130]

Thank you for this interview. What a wonderful and in-depth insight into the songwriting industry. I learned a ton of invaluable stuff from this interview.

[@DanielsWall]

Appreciate you Mohammed for taking the time to watch it! So happy it connected!

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

It’s ironic that the Audio on this songwriter interview is so bad, the echo is unbearable and he is rubbing the microphone the whole time, which is additionally irritating

[@wildflute]

Love this whole series... can you just be more careful with the lav mic placement? The constant scratching was giving me ear sadness! Keep up the amazing insights and interviews!

[@Gym1993peirce]

Didn’t notice it until I read this comment and now my ears are sad 😂

[@hello_elco]

The audio is SO ANNOYING. But this interview is fab 🎉

[@nolancrawf]

Literally, it’s ironic considering it’s a podcast about music and audio 😂

[@blakkmetal-wizkokk]

it drove me INSANE

[@tatertimeofficial]

I have a podcast & things like that happen. But the pod was amazing & I really enjoyed it

[@alexsudati]

I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put a mic on the inside placket of a shirt lol

[@vicente5474]

phase problems probably.

[@haidenmorgan]

Im so thankful for the internet when it comes to showing people theres room for all kinds of artists in this music and entertainment world. Most people would never know theres a guy out there like this guy or that there are people who strictly write but dont perform music etc etc, or that some musicians just work in a studio but never outside that setting etc.

[@anil_kiss]

This interview is amazing and so helpful to aspiring musicians and artists. Thank you for making this!

[@Iamdiggity22]

I could never be a songwriter. Seems like a lot of stress and only $6k. Y’all deserve so much more.

[@elijahgoncalves7813]

I’m just catching up to this series, and it is phenomenal! From one music nerd who checks the credits to another, Daniel, thank you for making these videos!

[@thealterrmusic]

Yooo daniel this helps such so much dude. As an aspiring artist these videos are gem bro. I can't wait to watch more from you. Great video man love you brother.

[@trwlsh]

Such an amazing video Daniel! I can tell you put a lot of time and energy into making this

[@DanielsWall]

Appreciate you Tyler! ❤🎉

[@Eden639]

What a nice artist, songwriter, producer. Thank you for your honesty and candor.

[@vnkman4391]

seems like a nice guy tbh, hope he stays humble, good for him.

[@DEVADOMUSIC]

Thank you so much, Justin, for your honest insight on the songwriters´ biz - loved it and your advice for us artists/writers! Shout out from Germany

[@AbedAlsatouf]

This guy has a presence in the room and the way he speaks it forces songs out of people 🤍👌

[@thejessexander]

Omg! SemiPrecious Weapons is on my playlist. Their self named album was amazing and I always said that they were crazy talented. As a musician and songwriter songwriter myself, to realize over ten years that he is the reason that so many songs influenced my writing and I had no idea he was the front man to a band I had no idea where I heard them! Aviation High! Look to the stars! And their Self named track. Amazing

[@iamjezuzchrist]

Oh god I'm in love... i didnt know anything about this person until now... what a beautiful soul

[@miloscollins]

really great advice and questions on here for people trying to make it in music🔥

[@KordTaylor]

❤ God Bless ya both for being so transparent with the true business stuff. Thanks Daniel for your videos. They just keep getting better and better.

Appreciate you for watching and checking it out! So happy it's connecting!! More on the way :)

[@echobellparademusic]

300 million streams = $6k 😞Daniel can you do a video follow up on the law that was past to increase the revenue artists make on streaming. Sad that all the other big streaming companies appealed the increase. Streaming for all songwriters is just a disaster from a salary perspective. Tech corporate companies are so greedy & take advantage of the sensitive nature that songwriters have. Its fascinating that most revenue is still generated on old school radio. Justin is so open & honest here & very generous with the information he's offering, great interview

[@meghansullivan6812]

Yo that's CRAZY

[@agustindigilio]

Bro this was so inspiring . Beautiful ❤ he is so warm as a person

[@stephmgreen]

He’s the human embodiment of charisma.

[@RichardFelipeMendez]

seems like a really chill guy and a great hang.

[@Esthy]

Love this series Dan! If you run your audio though the Adobe Podcast Enhance tool it will most likely save the audio even if the lav failed. Hope this is helpful! Keep it up!

[@GoodBaleada]

I can't believe this only has 40,000 views

[@thisishalover]

That was a great interview! Thank you for that! 🤗

[@smoothtalkerguitarsuk4431]

Greatest interview I have seen in fucking ages!!! Thanks v much.

[@HenryThong]

Great content man! Just keep an eye on the mic placement next time because the brushing was very difficult to sit through 😅

[@Twominutedevotions]

It makes me so happy that one of the biggest songwriters in the whole industry did rock bands instead of "DJ Hell" - I really hope rock keeps slowly finding new audiences again.

[@suziwall5777]

Awesomeness job. Great knowledge, humor, charisma, and fun. Thank you ❤🎉

[@lunavela6708]

Thank you for this! Justin is a G.O.A.T!

damn..the portfolios of songs looks like he is the goat!believer itself deserves the title!

[@tanmay7978]

This is amazing, you are also amazing, I would like to have more.

[@cholohermosa]

Would love to hear you interview mixing (like Manny Marroquin, Serban Ghenea) and mastering engineers (Bob Ludwig, Emily Lazar) and the business side of their craft. :)

[@malovina]

This video was not only informative, so interesting, Justin is beyond engaging. I work in marketing (entertainment) so it's awesome to see music side of things. Interview flew by so at 25 min I was not ready for last two questions. I would have listened for another hour. Amazing interview! Great job all!

[@DanielsWall]

Absolutely loved this comment (and your previous comment Malovina)! Justin is so great - glad the conversation was engaging!

[@malovina]

@@DanielsWallyes!! Keep doing the amazing job you’re doing! You not only listen but ask awesome questions and your genuine spirit shines through. Thank you!!

this explains a lot about modern pop music.

Just found this series, and this is what I needed to find! Ty!!! Amazing!! Sub!

[@dixnaaa]

What a great mic , 🎤 picking up every movement 😂 love seeing interviews w songwriters tho . Would u be open to interviews w korean american writers 😊😊

[@ronit.samuel]

Great job! Your passion and dedication will take you wherever you want to go, stay true to yourself ☺️♥️

[@JYT_2]

those are the legends we wanna hear about ❤

[@evanpearce1015]

I would love to sit down with Justin, especially because we have a lot of music industry in common. I feel like sooooo much was missed through what was happening

[@nycphoto1725]

I remember walking past Justin in williamsburg in 2005. He was just passing me by but he seemed so driven and determined.

[@SuperMcgenius]

Great interview , Justin is Smart and hilarious, love the white boots

[@Dane_Riazer]

These videos are really cool, I subscribed because this is thing I didn't know I needed. 🙌🏾

[@peni1641]

This a great lesson in song writing

[@fankaoliviilivki]

Amazing interview! Keep up with the great (because good is not enough to describe this) work :)

[@DanielsWall]

This means the world! Thank you

[@FUN.2810]

Y u take dis video down

[@SimonHuggins]

This is probably the best video I have seen on songwriting. And a masterclass on interviewing - STFU and prime information bombs only when necessary.

[@TannerHowe]

I love this series! but please fix the lav mic placement, the noise from your chain and Justin’s shirt is pretty distracting. Other than that The content and information is awesome!

[@dkkeen904]

This should have 700000 views ❤

[@popriffmusic]

Great interview!

[@IanFleming808]

It’s interesting to note that both him and Max Martin were both in niche rock bands. I’d love to see this guy work with Kamijo from Japan.

[@michelegelmini3541]

If someone wants to get detailed info about the different types of royalties and how they work (numbers included), there is a book called "music money and success" by Jeff and Todd brabec. It explains in details all the type of royalties. Hope this helps 😊

[@joncerda351]

Kelly Clarkson Nostalgic is such a great song! I always put that on repeat

[@3316xtendedmedia]

What a great guy to listen too!

[@DonWayneMann]

As a songwriter this information is so f***in important... and, Justin Tranter is so funny and fabulous!!!

[@damianotremendozzi]

i love your videosman, they're super interesting.

[@robertgold2643]

Fantastic interview gents 🙏😁

[@robertdouble559]

"The cons are just exhausting..." possibly the most sensible thing anyone has ever said.

[@Lunaar]

Amazing videos Daniel as always, your interviews are perfects!! Any chance you could interview RedOne in the future? He's a huge songwriter/producer (Lady Gaga, Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, and many more), he's so inspiring!

[@DanielsWall]

Appreciate you Lunaar! 100% would love to meet and chat with RedOne in the future!!! Let me know if there's any cool stories or fun facts about him as well. :)

[@Lunaar]

Amazing! His life is a beautiful story, he left his family in Morocco to go to Sweden to pursue his dream, without any money, and years later after hard work, and sleeping on floors, he made few number one in Sweden, but it was just in Sweden, so his family and country wasn't really aware of his success, peoples didn't know his songs, so he decided to go to America to make it global, but he had to start from scratch again, so, RedOne and his amazing wife went to America (with the money of Sweden hits), but it was so hard for him to get the trust from labels, nobody wanted to give him a chance! But after many years of struggle in America, he was close to giving up cause he didn't had enough money to survive any more months, so RedOne's wife told him "let's try 3 more month and if it doesn't work we go back to Sweden..." Thanks to his wife, he finally did a hit in America! This hit opened some doors for him, and then he met a girl (Lady Gaga), after talking to her for 10 minutes, the feeling between both was amazing, they decided to go to a studio session, and they ended up making "Lady Gaga - boys boys boys" this day, and a week later they booked another few studio session, first day they did "Just dance", second day "Poker Face", third day "Love game", each day was a number one! And then, everything happened for him! I'm sure he could inspire so many peoples in your community, with his amazing life, he's really amazing, happy person, positive person, he will give motivation and believe to everyone ❤ He's really making my life much more positive, since 13 years now, (i am his biggest fan haha, one day i'll meet him 🙏🤞)

[@jstov]

Daniel, why no description on this video? You should at least have a short description with this guy's name in it. I also don't understand what people are saying about the audio, it sounds fine. Love your videos!

[@jules7001]

Great interview

[@paulwood4142]

What a great interview. Great advice.

[@RMA-b9k]

Great interview! Educational. I like the insight within the not as public world of music. Songwriter POV. I remember reading when TS & Big Machine had the performance conflict- re-recoding/performance issue. They said she owed label, but her PR followed up by saying an auditor was brought in & TS was owed $8mil in royalties. I wonder if anything was resolved. I read stream payments go to labels to distribute it among the parties. Labels also determine radio play/playlists & copyrights factor control. Probably why investment firms are buying up catalogs. TS two decade career (split between country & pop) is a fascinating case study. I was watching a video where Brandman & RB talk about the Music Business vs Music Industry- touched on radio, community & artist cost (15% cut) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHiwlHWhZbJ1q9k
