how did you discover some of your favorite artists?

Tip 11: Only listen to the first 15 seconds of a song.

As a music artist being discovered is the hardest part! You have to understand that I am not just competing with other artists I am competing with anybody who makes their own content! Because people only have so much time in a day to observe content online! Facts!

The "Charts" function on Rate Your Music can be incredibly helpful for discovering new music. It allows you to sort albums, singles, mixtapes, etc by so many different variables. For example, genres, subgenres, year, decade, descriptors and so much more. Rate Your Music has expanded my music taste by a lot.

trying to learn the magic of discovering music on my own so i don’t have to be the fake fan for finding it on shorts or tt ☠️

THANK YOU! I am so tired of having the same 5 songs on my playlist, and whenever I go to pre-made playlists it's the same ALWAYS the same TikTok songs and I want to discover smaller artists with more unique music! It shouldn't be this hard to find different music than the same 5 songs!!!

The yeat record part killed me

As a classical/jazz trained musician, the algorithms on Spotify drive me nuts. Everything sounds generic. I appreciate this video (I'm only 2 minutes in but look forward to it). Surprisingly, this is the only video I've found on this matter. It's unfortunate because IMO Spotify is helping to take the personality of music, which will make sprouting bands lack personality as well. It's all about the live scene for now and you really have to seek the organic music.

I love this so much bc ppl always tell me that I have mid-music taste when I let them listen to my go-to Spotify playlists and I be feeling like I have a personality from TikTok bc at one point I had nothing but TikTok mainstream indie-pop indie rock music on my playlists and I just never knew how to find new music to be "my little secret" until now so this is really helpful. Underrated video😁

I was born in the late 70s but kept up with music trends for a while. I was in my 30s before I realized most of the music I listened to was produced by the same people. Really was an eye opener.

"please dont skip forward though, it will mess up my yt analytics" got me crackin

[@mimi5769]

When I was 14/15 I was really into psychedelic rock, the 60s and 70s one and just by curiosity I found like hundreds of artists in the same genre. It's amazing. Now i listen lots and lots of genres, extremely trendy and obscure ones, I just love music:)

One thing I personally do is go to a local thrift shop and look if they have any good looking CDs. That’s kinda how I found one of my personal favorite records, Vibe by Jacob’s Ladder. Sure I’ve also found some other gems like some old Hip Hop records like Richie Rich’s Seasoned Veteran, but it’s always a pleasure to see something that’s truly unknown.

[@JackMSpreaker]

For me, sometimes if I find somebody who posts really good songs on their socials or references really good songs similar to my taste, I will try to find playlists or stories from them to find more of what they listen to, with the hopes of finding something new

[@blokmotion]

you can also find your fav artist's music label and find similar artists signed there. It'll work as long as its not a giant label like warner brothers or rca that has thousands of artists

[@user-ie3gh4pg7m]

Hey, it's off topic, but your natural voice is really cool! Feels nice to listen to you talk, keep it up)

[@TayajohMusic]

#2 “for the faint of heart” lol. ❤😂 seriously though some really good points brought up. Thank you!

[@pinkwinkie]

started watching the vid assuming your a super popular music creator but dam you make good ass content for not a whole load of awareness. good shit man

[@user-by6jz9nm4g]

this video is a hidden gem.. coming back to it after like a year

[@SkizexMusic]

one way i like finding new music is by just looking up a genre i like on spotify and going to the playlists and scrolling until i feel like i went far enough, found my favorite album of all time like that
