So you’ve been doing music for a while now and you’re starting to get discouraged because at this point you’re ready to work with big name artists and industry producers, but they’re not giving you the time of day.

Well what I’m about to reveal to you might make you question everything you’re doing...or it might change your life.

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!

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!! :)

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.

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.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I really needed this for reassurance so it's a wonderful coincidence that this was uploaded today! This has been my mindset since graduating from music school. I tried working with bands/artists/producers but majority of them were ALWAYS somewhat busy. I don't have time to wait to accomplish my dreams. At least not like they do. Time to walk the walk! NO MORE TALK. This is exactly why I became and audio engineer as an artist. No one will ever care as much for you as YOU do. Not saying you gotta be selfish or be lonely, just be confident in your skills and you just gotta know what you're really worth to yourself if it seems like no one can help you. You must support yourself most importantly. I would really love to work with you on a project (whatever it may be) one day man. That's a bucket list goal of mine! Thanks for great content as always, Adam. P.S. You got me to buy a camera yesterday so I can start making higher quality music videos and covers. Thank you dude.🤘😎👌

I like that last bit - needing no permission to create, just limited gear ideas. We forget that as it's so easy to be distracted by the external. Keep creating, artists. ❤️

Adam Thanks. I hate this notion that people have that they are going to take the world by storm. Sure it happens and yes it is everyone's dream but most of us do this one step at a time with blood sweat and tears. I have been engineering for over 30 years. I have always toyed with the idea of owning a recording studio but I have seen so many fail. I am not a marketing tycoon. I have a very specific craft and I love it. I do it in my sleep (30+ years after I started) I may end up with a full on studio, I may not. Early on I realized I don't need gear. What I need is readily available whenever I have need of it. What I need is to do what I do better. There has never been 1 day when I could not say I think I can do it better yet. This is only because I have spent my life trying to learn how to "do it better". You said it. There are scouts and A&R reps etc. They are looking for "another good man". We just need to be the next good man that they need. You will notice I used the word "BE" here. That isn't to be confused with "think I can or believe you can". There is no room for maybe here. I get all of my work via word of mouth. I have found sales pitches don't mean anything in our industry. It is all about "Proven Track Record". They don't like to risk an already risky project on risky talent and that is why "the Usual Suspects" get all of the gigs. They do it every day and everyone knows if they hire them it is going to happen. Every chance we get is a chance to prove one more time that "we can". We need a whole rap sheet of "yes, he cans". No brochures, no fancy cards, no discounts or kick backs can help them to see what they are needing to know. In the words of NIKE "Just do it"!!! The only way to success is "nose to the grindstone". Sharpen the knife until it is the sharpest ever, then do another, and another, and another. Eventually someone is going to notice.

Hey Adam, music make me alive now. And the office work is fun too, but I strive with making a video now. I have so much apps to learn too, but time I got then. I have my pension now, and live good on that. Music is 100% for me, and it makes my day too.

He's right. It's all about mindset. "Luck ain't even lucky, gotta make your own breaks." Wise person Bon Jovi. "Stop living like a flea in a jam jar." Napoleon Hill. Love Adam's videos. Inspiring.

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
