More than happy. Always great to listen to new and novel work.

[@PresidenteChico]

I ask people for emails, and push the music to them...people too lazy now a days

Gino, its a mixture of electronic, jazz and classical. @PresidentChico, I am game for emails. I just generally put things out on soundcloud. The comment section there can be utilized for this very easily.

some deep shit spilled out G!

[@rellrascal7294]

This inspired me. The doubts, the judgement, and even after feeling my music is nothing. You really made me realize that the only person that really should be happy about this music is me. I build my craft and my own style and you made me realized that even though its hard for every artist. You really have to believe in yourself and things will get better. Thank you for the wake up call Adam. Patience is key and hard work pays off.

I understand where you're coming from. Me personally i've never believednin begging anyone for leverage. I always wanted to build an image for myself. My latest music video gathered 400+ views. I honestly never thought that would happen but im glad. Just have to keep putting in work and find people who like your message.

Even when you start getting noticed, KEEP WORKING! Don't let others direct your vision. If you want it you have to do what it takes to get it

This video was PERFECT, man. You literally spoke about ALL the things that cross my mind about creating & growing music, and being parallel to the music business. I'm 29, & sometimes feel like time isn't on my side with how long I've been making music sporadically with minimal direction sometimes. But this was one of those 1st steps to get me back on the grind & work for it. Thanks, Adam!

[@TheeAgris]

I love your energy! This really helped some of my doubts! Thank you!

[@adamivy]

I appreciate you watching. Thanks for the comment!

[@Rockefeller1]

Great video, Adam! You're absolutely right about not needing a huge record label or needing a shoutout from a big artist to be successful. You could be an independent artist/producer and still make decent money through online. Appreciate you giving different perspective on these things! Looking forward to the next one!

[@rayrivera1306]

This is probably your most informative and best video you’ve posted. And I’ve seen probably every video you’ve uploaded. This is how I’ve always thought about this particular subject. ITS ON YOU!

"Think about this. A lawyer has to go to school for a minimum of 8 years before they could ever even start practicing law legally. A doctor has to go to school 6 ,8 ,10 years before they're able to start practicing medicine legally. We could start practicing music legally since day one" - Adam Ivy Badass quote

[@AngeloMunjiOfficial]

I love it man! Love how you’re always real with every single one of us. I definitely say include material like this because like you said, it’s not just about the creating process, but our mindset also that can really change up the game. Much love man!

[@TheSpallanzani]

Adam! Thank you very much for all your videos, I've been playing guitar and composing songs for 7 years now, and thanks to you I'm taking the courage to take the next step and start going out to the world!

[@PRODbyKingDavis]

I've had a placement or two in my day and have been producing half of my life lol....I'm 32.... what I would suggest to kids is to rent out a studio or enter a best battle just to see where u actually stand... one of my mentors has platinum songs in his catalog and when he plays me shit it reminds me how good some of these industry producers are.... the older ones atleast lol.... be patient and continue to learn!!!!

[@giuseppearcelo]

Thank you Adam, you give me a lot of reasons to keep believing in myself and continue to strive. Lately I have been feeling really down because I am filled with a lot of doubts and nobody seems to believes in me, so I do feel really alone most of the time. I started to make music last year which wasn’t very successful, I had no idea what I was doing because I did not do any research about how the music industry works. Thankfully, earlier this year I stumbled upon your channel and learned a lot of important information. Now I am slowly starting back with my dream, currently uploaded my new single with the full EP soon!

Thank you so much for posting as this is exactly what I needed to hear. After all these years, not making real money but didn't get into this because of money, I did it because I love it. I've been given many opportunities by just doing what I love.

[@LaraLarkOfficial]

You're the only one who can pull-off long videos like this. You don't need to change a thing!

[@SebbJunior]

Great video, great advices, and definitely on point. A lot of us already knows what you said here but we don't always apply. Because while learning and observing the other artists in the industry, from time to time you notice a few kids who achieve in 2 years with no efforts what you haven't made in 20 of hard work. It contributes to the global frustration and the feeling that music industry is unfair and sometimes makes us lose our focus .. I say "we" but i should say "I" actually :). Cheers man. Keep up the great work!

[@RackzzzzMusic]

Sebb Junior not that to become a artist you gotta be confident in your work

[@barrytheartist.]

4:28 TRUTH! Entitlement is really a killer, it can get in the way of relationships too just with that ego in the way. Really said what was on our minds Adam, always appreciate these videos/talks about relevant ideas 🙏

[@elevationofficialartist]

After being in the business for 17 + years...i am so happy to hear you say this!!! The truth is .. we meet people along the way, when the time is right...maybe youll work with them or maybe you wont. The best thing is to just work on your craft .develop your own sound...because youll end up being heavily influenced by what the other artists want ....and you might not even learn that much. This business. isnt about money. (Well of course it comes with being hired for jobs but it happens naturally). Anyways. I'm not going to even go in to my journey and what i've done and who ive met...but it happened naturally.. I didnt seek people out...I PUT IN THE WORK....and im still PUTTING IN THE WORK. and im still buying things for the studio. I started in electronic music and was wildly seuccessful. and now im shooting for Film and TV. When the time is right I will cross paths with someone who is either a director or a composer... i dont know.. but i believe in putting energy toward things and believing. But dont go for things for greed and jump the gun. Be patient and put in the work and be humble. JUST like you said ADAM ...THANK you for sharing this with the world.. so perfectly well articulated. I accidentally got nominated for a grammy btw... This is the kind of thing that happens too. Dont give up people.

[@arrbiej.5173]

Hey Adam. Great as always. And disagree the videos are long winded! Fantastic information and for free. You give up your time to hand out your advice that you have discovered over your career. Cheers man. :)

[@arrbiej.5173]

And just to add that totally agree with your advice. In modern times a lot of folk believe they have the right to be a celebrity, maybe because they can sing or have a certain look. This is total bollocks. What they forget is the artists back in the day worked tirelessly gig after gig. Even the Beatles worked every night singing covers. Doing five hour sets and even had to travel over to Germany to get their name out there. We have to make our own luck and work as hard if not harder than the next guy. And most of all never give up. That’s what sets the big players apart. Some artists don’t make it until their fifties. Cheers again!! :)

[@KiraPre-debutDiaries]

Awesome video..I say the same thing all the time. I’m 23 years in the game...paid my dues paying to record in pro studios for years when I started till I learned enough to build my own studio and now all these years later my quality is way better than what I used to pay for. These days they don’t wanna pay to record and I try to tell then they are paying for over 20 years experience..these days they think they can buy a laptop and drop and album...no matter what..it won’t sound like what a professional can do

[@paulhilgerthekingpins4204]

Nevermind if you're 16 or 60. Always treat your fellow musicians and producers with respect and dignity, no matter the genre, no matter the level of skill. You'd rather be remembered as a decent, humble yet professional guy.

Bro i like how you seem to always keep it real. This is not something one dabbles in its a long term commitment and, it take patience most people want to see results quick but it don't work that way but if you love music or whatever you are doing then you won't mind waiting because you'll be too busy enjoying the process to care about that and if you love doing something it shows and your more likely to see success because people see your passion your joy and your mastery

Love the directness it helps so much appreciate it

[@darkeyez3444]

i always comment on the intro before i watch, just so you know, so i figured i'd just try to rob them of their clients they'll notice me, but luckily I know some big names that will/better give me time a day, I actually taught over 30 rappers, many of who made it what they do, few of who blew up without saying any names, teaching other artists for free is one of my passions and was a dream, did it for over 10 years, it led to a lot of connections, as they make connections interests about me rise because people tend to talk about me a lot, i literally made some huge connects by sitting on my ass these last few years, I could get to someone like eminem's ear, and i can get rappers including twista and t.i on a song, even t-pain, my boy was the producer he came up with, all i have to do is show my connects thats i still have it, and do some work, personally i think it's foolish to hit up anyone even a friend with a leechy approach, in other words, i want my ball rolling right into them, i'd rather people feel like this is a train they WANT to hop on
