You definitely have proven that CEO wrong. That is the right attitude to have: Take hater's/naysayer's negativity and turn it into motivation. I am very happy to be part of your music licensing community!

[@HayesChad]

I was 1 of the many people you opened eyes to music licensing. I've been creating instrumentals for almost 10 years now because I'm a musician, not a vocalist. I always thought what I was doing would work best as background music to video. You would think I would have realized soon enough about this industry, but nope. It was last March when I stumbled on your video and you made it all click. So thank you, 2019 will be the year I join your network. See you then!

[@SyncMyMusic]

I'm so glad you discovered this industry Chad!

[@tonymondragon8868]

Jesse, you don't know how much you inspire me. Been watching you for a year, bought a fully loaded DAW suite in April, and have been learning so much. I feel that something really great is coming. Thank you!

[@SyncMyMusic]

That's awesome Tony! Glad to hear you're working hard for your career!

[@melyssamarie5377]

You have an incredible story Jesse. You know, when I have bad moments of doubt, uncertainty or fear about my music future, I have a couple of artistic documentaries I like to watch that inspire me and get me pumped up to start composing again. This video is going on that list. Thanks so much for telling us your story, it's pretty amazing!

[@BAMac964]

Wow this was really an amazing, encouraging, and inspiring video Jesse.

[@SyncMyMusic]

Thanks B.A.!

[@danceswithnotes168]

Thank you very much for inspiring and educating all of us who have been told that making a living with music is impossible and it’s just a fun hobby! You have been a God sent gift and I am so excited to learn from you!!! 😀 good luck to you in your career as well!!! John Williams is approaching retirement! 😉

[@SyncMyMusic]

So glad to have been helpful for you!

[@joshkreydatus6319]

The part about your feeling disenchanted with creating run-of-the-mill licensable music (at 22:00 ~ onward), I was not expecting to hear that ! Given those circumstances, it would seem like working another factory job, very repetitive, uninspiring, and mundane. This is a great example of a reality check before getting too lost in self-created false beliefs about how you expect things should be. Thanks for your very inspiring story, Jesse!

[@SyncMyMusic]

It was VERY much like having a boring day job. Needless to say I got even more bummed out thinking "even my dream job is getting dull". So it's good to recharge from time to time and remind yourself why you got into Sync Licensing to begin with.

[@joshkreydatus6319]

@@SyncMyMusic Well Jesse, I decided to put your words to the test and see for myself. So, after some experimenting I settled on a formula and started tailoring my music to fit the formula. The whole time I'm thinking wow, this is great, this works for me and I get a lot accomplished, but as time went on I started to feel exactly what you were talking about. For me personally, I need a ALOT of variety in my life, I can't handle no cookie-cutter-type stuff for very long. Thanks again for your feedback.

[@heavygroovebeats]

I appreciate your videos and insights, Jesse. I can relate to your points about isolation. That seems to be a common theme for many entrepreneurial endeavors.

[@SyncMyMusic]

Indeed. We have to support and encourage each other in this industry!

[@DrProps-np3hf]

Trials and tribulations obstacles can detour someone for a bit but you never gave up Jesse that was the key you never gave up

[@dendijohn]

Sounds like the studio you described in Hollywood was originally the LA location of Wally Heider Sound Recorders. Many iconic hits were produced at that studio. Cahuenga and Selma really. That’s the best studio in Hollywood right there.

[@SyncMyMusic]

Perhaps! It was a GREAT space to work out of.

[@alainvmusic]

Thanks again, your videos have open my mind as a musician, your method is not easy and your words are very straight forward, but that's what musicians need, down to earth advice, all the best

[@CascioMusicProduction]

What a great story! Very inspiring. Jesse you are hero and a great mentor for all of us, I don't know how do you do it 😮 ?!!! 🔝 I m so glad to be part of your community, a true life changer for all musicians and producers out there!

[@agentcalm]

Yep...spent a of of years being a dreamer myself. and even spent the past 8 or 9 years dreaming paying organisations to pitch my song thinking some famous guy will record it. Not any more. No more paying membership fees to these orgs promising they can help you with your music career. Bedroom songwriters dont make it....period. And it took a long time to cop on that fact. Time to see money coming back my way and not constantly out of my wallet and into someone elses.

[@amaranthinesounddesign2384]

Thank you!! I need this today. It been a really hard few months but things are looking up finally. Again Amaranthine Sound Design appreciates all that you have done for our business.

[@malineli3266]

Blessings on your future brother

[@UPHMusic91]

Really encouraging love this! and especially the Underpants gnomes reference, makes so much sense now aha

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad it helped!

[@ryancrarymusic]

Sounds just like being in a bar band- but getting paid to stay out late. I’m maybe 6 months committed and trying to get my first placement.

[@p.o.p.presents]

Good to hear your story Jesse. Thanks for all that you do for us producers who are passionate and want to excel this industry. I really appreciate it.

[@SyncMyMusic]

You're very welcome Walter!

[@robertrydell]

Thank you for sharing your story!

[@jkn928]

Amazing story! Thanks for sharing!

[@urbbanq]

much love bro

[@f.i.r.1225]

Bro. Thanks for making things clear.

[@kirillux]

Great story! Thanks for sharing this.

[@kcmusic1586]

Great story bro, motivation, makes a %100 sense, say later to the haters,

[@alysonyogi3890]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@BrothersOfAlienRock]

Thank you for sharing your inspiring story in such detail Jesse, I'm sure it hits home for many, i know it does for me. I've had multiple record deals, toured the world , been through the machine and for some time since have been in a "tug of war" in finding the correct path for myself. Even when the "dream" is achieved, things and circumstances change. They always change. If you don't change with them, then well, like you just expressed...you'll be miserable working for someone else. GREAT WORK, Cheers and looking fwd to being part of the fold!

[@thebeatfreakz4278]

Amazing man!

[@wlflightlr]

Great story Jesse, thanks for sharing it!

[@zheson5-speed953]

Holy shit, this is so amazing. I almost shed a tear. Literally god-level.

[@AquashiiMusic]

What a journey! I love the progress and how it switched from doing to helping. Very inspirational and it's great to really feel you and where you are coming from. Great video!

[@anaibizamoon]

Thank you for sharing your personal story, Jesse. It inspires in the way of keeping focused and motivated. Really appreciate it!

[@danielleknoll]

You're so awesome, Jesse! Thanks for everything!

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad you're with us!

[@TheDugChannel]

Once again, got me pumped to the roof! Thanks so much for sharing Jesse.

[@SyncMyMusic]

Thanks for watching Mathieu!

[@xquizitebeats]

Thanks for sharing your story Jesse. It’s very inspirational 💪

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jgoldfinger99]

Very cool story. Thank you for sharing.

[@SyncMyMusic]

You're very welcome!

[@GeorgePMusic]

Totally lovely story Jesse... its great to help others.. gives you a sense of purpose! awesomeness:))

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@robertb.robinson6869]

Great story, Jesse! You are an inspiration. I just signed up for SyncEdge yesterday. I've been following you on KZbin for a few months, and I've been creating and uploading orchestral tracks to a royalty-free library. They have accepted all fourteen of the tracks and variants that I've submitted, but I've only sold one track. Yay, ten bucks. So, I've decided to up my game and create an album of 5-10 tracks, closely following your advice, and submit it to exclusive libraries. Thanks so much!

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad you decided to join us Robert! And yes, I do recommend you start working directly with exclusive Libraries in order to start earning passive income performance royalties.

[@natebrutal65]

I love Jesse's videos..they helped me prepare myself for getting in the music licensing industry.

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad to hear it Chefboyar!

[@jastinartis]

Thank you for sharing your story in full detail Jessie. I'm new to the channel as a fellow producer shared your channel with me. I've always eant to get into syncing my music. I did several years ago but I think I needed more time to cultivate my sound. And I spent years being an artist and got away from the idea. In the last few years syncing is all I think about. And now, just recently I partnered with my first company. I could be mad for the time I didn't move on syncing but it's all about timing. I'm so excited to join your community!👏🏿👍🏿 so now - do you have a video on companies to join?? Lol

[@SyncMyMusic]

Welcome! And yes I do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZOslYSGaNirgtU

[@MagicJonesMusic]

Woooowww, dude. I have *got* to get into your system. I've been producing music now for 10 years and haven't had any serious direction. You inspire me. I'm all in, man. Something inside me is driving me to hone my music / production skills daily, and has been for 2.5 years. During that time, I've produced 123 songs (complete with music videos), but without any real direction. My gut is telling me you've got something that can help me, dude. On to the next video! (Where do I sign up for more?)

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad you're inspired! If you haven't gone through my free course, I would do that now: www.syncmymusic.com/freecourse You'll learn all about my premium services for producers on the 5th video 👍

[@MagicJonesMusic]

@@SyncMyMusic On it!

[@sourcefor]

Yes very inspiring when I saw your first vid I watched the free course then joined edge, got accepted to 3 libraries and make music everyday, life is good keep up the vids and good work thanks!

[@SyncMyMusic]

Killer dude!

[@miguelcruz1738]

You...you are helping me a lot...thanks very much....how long should my track be?...i started with a 37 minutes record with over 50 versions . it is only one track record with digital effects on multi-rhythm acoustic guitar...recording on garage band.... which I am learning how to use in the process as well as learning the business too. I feel the music has potential because of style, techniques and power and speed delivered on the strings at same time...what should i do ...can you help me out?....thanks and will be appreciated.

[@1funkyangel]

Hey Jesse,.. do you do your own mastering ? Just curious !! 🤔

[@rickneibauer1]

Sounds a lot like me... Hopefully I can follow in your footsteps!

[@SyncMyMusic]

Glad you're encouraged!

[@IMPRIMUSBeats]

What ever happened with the Band you were a part of under Tyrese? How did it end up dissolving?

[@SyncMyMusic]

Tryese's production company ending up dropping us after a few years and that took most of the wind out of our sails. We went on for a more months, but eventually we just stopped gigging.

[@IMPRIMUSBeats]

Sync My Music That has to be rough man. Congrats on making your own way. Thanks for sharing.
