Ant Chamberlain Talks $20K Per Month Selling Beats Online, Beating a Recession, Joining Navy & More

We left quarantine to do a Producergrind interview with Ant Chamberlain! It was worth it cause he dropped a lot of gems for music producers selling beats online. He told us his come up story and how he went from getting barely any views on his beats to in about a year making $20,000 per month on Beatstars selling beats. He started out trying to get placements and actually got a few including one with YFN Lucci and Offset called 'Boss Life' which we showed the making of a few years ago. We talked about him joining the Navy and being at sea with no internet and how that helped him perfect his craft.
We also talked about everything going on with the virus this past week and what music producers can expect if we go into a 2020 recession and financial crisis. We hope everyone is staying safe! This is one of our best ones of the year so far 💎💎💎

[@iridiumrox]

*BEYOND RESPECT* For Ants discipline, this is an incredible interview. He lays it down, no bullshit, no self aggrandising. If you want it, you can get it, for sure. Reminds me of a quote from that old TV show 'Fame'. 'So, you want fame? Well fame costs, and right here is where you got to start paying... In sweat!' Any day you're not working towards your goal is a day your working towards failure.

[@blancoboyloko7778]

I'm a rapper and a part-time producer and this interview helped me a lot. I used to be that person that would make excuses or sit around and tell myself "if only I had this" or "this ain't working." Eventually I would go on and once 10th grade rolls around I realized that there is nothing else I want to do besides smoke weed, hang with my homies, and make music. I realized that life is too short to sit around and be someone's b**** or to settle without accomplishing something in life, and I just started going hard. I started to really care about this music shit and I realized that it not only helps me but it also helps others so I'm not only doing this for me but for those around me. Music brings us humans together and forms friendships and strong relationships and that's one thing I also love to do. So this music shit just made a lot more sense to me and I really started applying myself in the past 2-3 months. I don't even want a whole bunch of money, I just want to do something that makes me happy and can provide for me. I wanna see the world, I wanna help people, and I want to live my life doing me and I want to live it proudly. I was born to do this shit and I'm not saying that I'm a prophet or some shit, I'm just saying that I wake up with music ideas in my head, I wake up with visions, I wake up wanting to get shit done. Thank you again Producer Grind for sharing this and thank you Chamberlain for not being selfish and wanting to help us small guys exceed in this crazy industry

[@LaynoProd]

this interview came at the right moment for me, i got so many beats in stock cuz I was planning to chase placements and email beat packs to artists, but at the same time i really need the money more so building my youtube channel might be the way to go and am inspired by Ant Chamberlain so thanks to him and thanks Producergrind for the amazing podcasts, I had a history of selling several beats online already (most traffic and sales came from my youtube channel) and I took down my beat store for several months cuz I wasnt cooking up much and it wasnt selling (ironically, a day after i took down my store, a rapper DMed me on IG to try and buy an exclusive), but im learning a lot now from Ant and I dig the mindset he got and the hustle, so Ima start uploading more beats now, especially cuz Im quarantined and have an established workflow figured out, I can prolly push these beats online like crazy and be happy that my bills will get paid quicker than chasing placements, i love the fact that he emphasizes "be your own boss and invest in yourself", building my own brand has been my main focus

Bruh, listening to this interview I have gained mad respect for you. I see so many beat makers that just make a beat and sell it, but then call themselves a producer. That's not a producer. You actually get in the studio with the artist and make your beats into magic for that particular artist.....I love it.....Stay on your grind. We need more like you.
