Music Branding: 3 EASY Ways to Build Your Brand

[@jackdrew1946]

I find that branding can sometimes be overlooked and artists are left wondering why people aren't connecting with their content as much as their music, and it really comes down to the fact that PEOPLE grow brands and if there's not a solid brand to get your teeth stuck into, then there's nothing to set yourself out from the very crowded market

This channel is just so true, and good ...

[@chwezimadeit]

I discovered this channel 4days ago and I have been listening and watching to almost every video. Its worth it and thank u

[@Burstimo]

Thank YOU!

[@parijatsingh5858]

Same here! This is stuff no one in their right mind would give away for free! What the hell!

[@chwezimadeit]

@@parijatsingh5858 i guess we are the lucky generation

[@kissmekeekee]

I'm pretty much in the same boat haha

[@parijatsingh5858]

@@chwezimadeit Yep! We're in that time where everything has become open and it's challenging because you have to be really creative and incorporating everything, but the competition is relatively thin! We just have to push hard!

[@zalvus7392]

AURORA, Twenty One Pilots and SayWeCanFly are some of my favs when it comes to artist/band image :)

[@josieburner]

my favorite artist brand is Tyler the Creator. I particularly enjoy how he can change his style so often and still stay true to himself over the years.

[@tylermcclain606]

Rob Zombies branding is insanely good. He hasn’t had a good album or movie in over a decade, and STILL headlines every festival he plays at. Why?- the Zombie brand. Genius.

[@theSUProject]

His show is insane too. You can see him and his band genuinely enjoy performing, they have fun on stage, they make eye contact with the public, they smile at them. I don't listen to their music on a regular basis, but I won't miss an opportunity to see them live!

[@AprilKeez]

Regina Spektor has been a favorite of mine for a long time! She is adorable, clever, and creative, which comes across in every inch of her branding. She wears blacks and dark blues, often with sailor stripes, but always has that splash of bright red. Her music has moments of serious, beautiful lyric writing mixed with her silly attempt at making dolphin noises. She’s not afraid to experiment. It’s all so specific to her!

[@axel.lessio]

It's so important to be yourself and not think that we could all simply copy what Lewis Capaldi or any other artist did to blow up. Lately on Instagram I'm trying to be myself a lot more and tell my story as it is, besides making music: I'm a young father who loves his daughter madly, I work remotely so I travel often, and I freaking love cooking and food in general. As a result I'm able to post a lot more great content more frequently and my engagement is growing steadily. I found a great balance between what goes in the feed vs. the stories, and this vlog type of strategy is really starting to work for me. And here's the best part: I get my followers with classic rock covers, so they start to follow because they love music, and then they stay for the story. We'll see how many of them come to my debut gig and stream my next releases, but I do have a good vibe about it.

[@Burstimo]

Love it! Being authentic and telling your real story will always win

[@jackmanganmusic]

Yo Burstimo! Just wanna say you guys are awesome! Really helpful info you guys share! My band Shallow Green is releasing our debut single soon, and these tips will definitely help! Much love from New Jersey, USA!🙌🏻 -Jack from Shallow Green

[@amika4143]

Maddy, you and Alex are our career angels! We love you so much do you realise that? Seriously I feel like you are my very close friends and your guidance is helping me a lot day by day! Thank you for making sense of this chaos in the emerging independent artist world for us! God bless you!

[@seemaverma4758]

Your music is unbelievable 💯👏👏 I saw your Spotify you got good monthly listeners too just don't give up. You got the talent just work a little more on promotion n marketting your release. Your music is fire 🔥🔥🔥👏💯💯 no doubt all u need is good promotion hats off keep making music you're awesome god bless you 💓💓💓

[@seemaverma4758]

Waiting for your new music Amika just watched your recent upload on ya KZbin channel damn that was lit 💯💯👏👏🎉🎉 you're so damn talented OMG 😱 please keep doing music 🎶🎵 you're awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@seemaverma4758]

Research about paid promotions you pay to the distributor to get yourself on Spotify that's so acknowledging 👍👍👍 Start paying for the promotion of your releases n I guarantee you'll be the next big thing 💯💯 you're awesome keep making music I'm waiting for your next drop yoo 👍👍👍👍

[@seemaverma4758]

I'm a struggling artist just like you I'll be dropping my EP soon in January 2023 n the best part about this is nobody cares 🤣 Nobody gives a shit to us independent artist nobody would tell us to do what's right they'll let us keep running in circles if you know what I'm saying 💯 🙏 Promo is the key to happiness. Major labels spend millions on promotion marketing on artists which we independent artists cannot afford but fuck it we not doing this for fame we doing this because we love it it's our passion. I'm 22 working in a bar and saving money to release my debut EP next year somewhere in March and to promote it good I'm independent so I have my own budget to promote it

[@seemaverma4758]

Keep watching this channel "Burstimo" this is the perfect and best place for us independent artists to gain knowledge on how indie artists can make living out of their passion. Maddy and Alex are great advisors I been on this channel since 2020 n to this date I'm never disappointed by them they are awesome 😎💯 Love this channel and love all of their contents just like you feel they are your close friends so do I 🙏💯

[@Redshi1515]

Really glad I discovered this channel and subbed, you both have been giving me the necessary knowledge and confidence to do this the right way and build my career from the ground up. Thank you.

[@michel8065]

Thank you guys for doing this. You are helping a lot!

[@lightphasermusic]

Great video! Answering your question: I am following a lot of artists with good brands but I think none of them has a brand so strong like Kaguya Luna has, who is also one of my favorites. She is primarily a Japanese Vtuber, but makes her own music as well.

[@AntKneeLeafEllipse]

I've actually been wrestling with this for awhile, so I'm very happy you made this video.

[@ProducerSnafu]

I love the content on this page and I feel guilty for only being able to leave a like.

[@TheBloodyMallard]

Thanks Burstimo. Great insights as always!

[@JimmysGG]

I've been watching a lot of your videos for some weeks now and they are a real treasure. Thanks for inspiring all of us fellow artists, since was a kid I always dreamt of making and sharing music and after this kind of vids now I know I can make that dream even bigger and better. Music heals friends, let's keep all pushing onward!

[@shradan]

Hey guys!! you provide such good information. I am an emerging artist, trying to build a fan base . Do you think you can make a video about Tiesto?Tiesto has been in the EDM industry over 2 decades yet he is getting bigger and bigger. He is a perfect example for every up and coming and established artist as a brand. I would highly appreciate if you can make a video on him. Thanks.

[@TheLostYouth]

Hard. I just like good (from my point of view) music that's why I producing it. I think Im not trying to tell any story, but I think sometimes parts in my tracks are very emotional. My idea is to play my music one day in big giggs. Sounds jealous, but this is true, lol. I don't know, maybe I should name my tracks that I missing my origin country and I moved to the another one to have job and money for food? LMAO sounds like a plan... :D To be honest I'm not following musicans because the story. I have my favourite artists, because they making very good quality music. I dont care what ideas they have, what they do in free times, if they believe for something. How many kids or pets they have nor what kind of other hobby they have. I watching these things on KZbin where I can teach something, improve my skills, I skipping parts about other stuff, because I saving the time for making own music.

[@TrustedSiren]

I wonder if you know how many people are going to make it in music because of Burstimo. Really inspiring, thank you! An artist I think has got impeccable branding is Melanie Martinez, the toy house, playground doll/school satire has been carried throughout her start, with the half coloured hair and china doll fashion making her identifiable. My favourite artist though is Kim Petras though aha, her music and visuals are so good, and she is the first trans pop star which obviously has made her stand out, she utilises it well. Thanks again :)

[@daddypluginpresents7445]

yeah this is a deep concept to me who usually thinks about 12 tones. A story is quite novel to my conventional musician thinking, but yeah YOU'RE RIGHT. THANKS

[@mikeleezus4209]

[@dise706]

I love recording music and doing shows but for some reason I always get nervous when I think about doing some content for my platforms of me just talking telling the people a little about myself and its killing me

[@felixsmith7391]

hey Burstimo, can you guys make an analysis video of Beyoncé branding and marketing. i think the way she or her team has designed and potrayed are very interesting. it somewhat similar to the way michael jackson potray his identity, and it all end up with the brand that we know "King of Pop" and "Queen B". thank you

[@artistrymuzik]

I don't know if you guys know the artist Andy Mineo but he is by far my favorite artist to the point I'm in his top percent of listeners on Spotify. I probably listen to him to much, jk but his branding is on point. You guys should check him out.

[@jacksvocals]

I'm conflicted about the ethics of using my story; got an incurable illness which has ruined millions of lives, and it could be seen as shamelessly exploitative to put that forward in PR. It'd help to contextualise my content, but I really don't want to be seen as cynically capitalising on a condition like this, or fishing for sympathy. No easy answer to the situation but if anyone has thoughts on this I'd love to hear a fresh take. Cheers to burstimo for all the regular videos

[@Burstimo]

Not exploitative if you're teaching others and raising awareness

[@Chizabam]

[@itslucakoala]

tnx for the reminder!

[@YukiOtakuchan]

That's a really interesting statement. Still, by having to define an identity you're defining boundaries witch is... The worst thing when it comes to explore your creative world and truly show yourself : you are not a caricature, you can't be summed up by a style or by a song. When you're choosing to put yourself in a category, you're not being true to yourself

[@theSUProject]

Dolly Parton is iconic.

[@BeQuietEntertainment]

I have been locked in on your videos. Not only do you drop knowledge/information but you don't do alot of useless talking, every point/backstory is meaningful. 🔥🔥🔥

[@selahmusic1]

Such great advice, I especially like how you give us new and interesting creators to check out. The online branding is key to finding those fans that will stick with you and that is not easy to do. I've been tuning in for a few weeks now. As a touring musician you tend to neglect fully developing the online presence. Your advice has really helped me sharpen up those loose ends . Big thanks!
