1
Ten years ago, I wanted to figure out how to do music full time, after loving it so much growing up.
2
But I had no idea where to start.
3
I've learned so much that I wish I knew back then.
4
And if you give me nine minutes, I want to share with you nine of the most potent lessons I've learned over the last ten years.
5
These insights aided me through album releases, tens of millions of streams, and building a career doing what I love.
6
I learned a lot of this the hard way, so you don't have to.
7
Let's do it.
8
Number one, it's 100% possible.
9
The story I heard was that music is a risky career.
10
Only the best and luckiest make it and you can't make good money otherwise.
11
I met people who wanted to do music but didn't because it was irresponsible and there was no money in it.
12
All the advice from responsible adults and careers advisors at school really stuck with me, so much that I chose to do biomedical engineering at uni.
13
I thought because it was more academic and responsible that I should do that and only do music on the side.
14
In the end, I spent two years
15
and a lot of money forcing myself to do something I didn't really believe in with no time for anything else.
16
I just wanted to do what I'm doing now.
17
What I realized since then is this, if you feel called to do music or anything creative, lean into it.
18
It's not just possible, it's important.
19
The world needs more people doing something that lights them up.
20
Simultaneously, inspiring others to do the same.
21
You're not just chasing a dream, you're courageously building a meaningful life you genuinely love and sharing that love and courage with others.
22
I can't think of anything more valuable.
23
There's an endless list of ways to make a really good living in music
24
and you can mold the lifestyle that works for you.
25
It doesn't really matter what you do, if you do it well enough you can earn good money doing it.
26
Age, money and location matter so much less now too with the internet and affordable gear.
27
You can do it.
28
The first step is to know that.
29
Number two, bet on you.
30
Be the main character.
31
It's so powerful to believe in your own ability and be able to make things happen on your own.
32
It also makes collaborations even better too.
33
Learn the basics of everything, even if you're a specialist.
34
So you're skilled across the board and you'll be so much more versatile, valuable and irreplaceable, especially in the developing world of AI.
35
Strive for mastery of one or two specific skills, but don't limit yourself to just that.
36
I was always warned against being a jack of all trades, master of none, only to realize years later that that's not the full quote.
37
It continues.
38
Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than master of one.
39
Which couldn't be more true, especially today.
40
You don't need to wait for anyone to make things happen or for a lucky break.
41
Make your own luck by building capability.
42
Watch out for self-imposed limitations too.
43
I used to think I was just the musical one and not the tentacle one, which was just untrue.
44
Rewrite your story.
45
It's not that you can't do a thing, you just can't do it yet.
46
Play into your natural strengths, yes, but don't create needless weaknesses either.
47
3. 1 plus 1 equals 3.
48
It's important to grow as an individual, but the growth and joy you will see through working with good people is like no other.
49
We're social creatures and the musical pursuit can become a very lonely or isolated one.
50
You may have heard the quote, if you want to go fast, go alone.
51
If you want to go far, go together.
52
I think there's truth to that.
53
But honestly, collaborating can be one of the fastest ways to grow.
54
Every aspect of my music has improved because of all the amazing teachers, artists and friends that I've worked with.
55
When you work together, you motivate each other and you all upgrade by osmosis.
56
Not to mention how much fun it is to share your journey and become friends with creative people.
57
Speaking of sharing your journey, number four, show your work.
58
This one's huge.
59
Document and share your journey with the world and it will open up to you.
60
Finish songs and release them.
61
Take risks.
62
Post the thing.
63
Don't worry about making things incredible from the word go.
64
Worry about having incredible consistency, creating and finishing ideas regularly.
65
The first few things you post are probably gonna suck, and that is perfect.
66
You did the thing, and now you have all of this feedback to improve with.
67
If you want to collaborate with really good people, you need a portfolio of work so that they have a reason to want to work with you.
68
A crazy number of my collaborations all stemmed from Finn finding a cover I posted on YouTube.
69
Through that one connection, I ended up meeting and working with a huge web of people.
70
If I didn't post that video, none of it would have happened.
71
You don't even have to do it for views or networking either.
72
Videos and songs will be valuable to you forever.
73
Don't let perfect be the enemy of action.
74
If you've been waiting for a sign to put yourself out there, here it is.
75
Don't overthink it, just start.
76
Putting yourself out there will also harness the power of community by connecting you with people who share your goals.
77
One of the best communities that I've been blown away by recently is on Sonos Voss.
78
It's like a way more optimized version of SoundCloud, but it's not just another streaming platform.
79
It's a complete ecosystem where you can upload music, discover new artists, play in games and song contests, and have your music featured in them.
80
You can be rewarded for it all with prizes and money.
81
Plus it's free.
82
I'll drop the link in the description and thanks to Sonos Voss for supporting so many artists and for sponsoring this video.
83
Number five, health is non-negotiable.
84
Here's the truth, healthy people want a million things.
85
People without their health only want one.
86
You can't do any of this if you lose your health.
87
When I started I went at a 100 miles an hour and quickly came to a dead stop.
88
I was very unwell and I had to fight to regain my health.
89
Don't take it for granted.
90
To this day I still have to work through health challenges.
91
Find joy in building a supportive sustainable routine and habits.
92
Get high quality food, movement, time with loved ones and rest every day.
93
You need to rest as hard as you work.
94
Set boundaries with your work and limit the use of that damn phone.
95
Try to keep it out of your bedroom and use a a digital alarm clock.
96
I use app blockers and screen time widgets too and I've basically turned my phone into a dummy phone.
97
Push your limits to understand them, then work within them long term.
98
Basically treat your work like a professional athlete.
99
Number six, slow is fast.
100
The music world isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.
101
Instead of rushing, focus on building a career you can sustain forever.
102
Most of the people who win do so because they keep playing.
103
There's no deadline for success either.
104
We overestimate what we can do in a year and we underestimate what we can achieve in five.
105
Just think, a beautiful song isn't the one that's played the fastest.
106
It's the one that's played with the most feeling and as Nisha said, the end of a melody is not its goal.
107
Take your time, enjoy the ride and trust that your path is unfolding as it should.
108
Number seven, lean into the legal.
109
You have a choice.
110
You can be empowered by it or be intimidated and and avoid it until it comes back to haunt you.
111
Making music is fun and learning legal terms isn't as fun, but being exploited and undervalued is the least fun.
112
Music law and contracts can feel overwhelming, but the right knowledge is more accessible now than ever.
113
You don't need to be an expert, just know enough to identify fair terms and spot red flags.
114
You can even use tools like ChatGPT to help.
115
Of course, it's important to get genuine legal support when you need it, but you need to understand enough to know good advice from bad.
116
Learn what your rights are and how to read contracts, own your work, know your value and stand by it.
117
Labels and managers need artists, but you can achieve so much independently that it's only worth collaborating with them
118
if you're fully informed and have a clear purpose for doing so.
119
Don't be afraid of discussing things.
120
Aim for a win-win with everyone and trust your gut.
121
People with the wrong intentions will become apparent quickly.
122
It's either a hell yes or it's a no. You may make some mistakes.
123
I certainly have but that's okay.
124
Just grow from them.
125
Legal agreements shouldn't stifle creativity.
126
They should empower it.
127
Number eight, money.
128
There's really good money to be made in music.
129
A lot of people say don't do it for the money
130
and I agree that it's not a good number one reason to do music
131
but you don't have to be a starving artist either.
132
I wish someone had told me not to rush and
133
that it's important to support yourself with a part-time job to help you build a strong foundation at a healthy pace.
134
Dream big and aim high, yes, but know that you need good fuel to actually get you there.
135
There's an unreal amount of great financial advice online now so use it to develop good money habits and skills.
136
A positive relationship with money will allow you to use it as a tool to build something special.
137
Number nine, listen to the right people.
138
One of the biggest things that held me back was ignoring my own intuition
139
and listening to advice from those who live a life that doesn't inspire me and were not actually doing the thing.
140
Now I've learned to avoid that.
141
I still make careful decisions, but I try to base it on my true gut feeling
142
and on advice from people who have built a creative life I admire and respect.
143
Here's the truth.
144
Every career carries risks.
145
What's even riskier than chasing your dreams is living a life that leaves you unfulfilled, wondering what if.
146
If you love something, go for it.
147
Not recklessly, but with intention and boldness.
148
Support yourself with work alongside that if you need to.
149
This journey is yours.
150
Be brave enough to take that leap, disciplined enough to see it through, and open enough to enjoy the melodies along the way.
151
I want to make the comment section of this video a resource for people.
152
If you're at the start of your journey, ask any questions you want.
153
And if you've got experience, what would you tell yourself 10 years ago?
154
Also, I'm starting a monthly newsletter that will have a combo of my favorite songs, videos, and quotes from that month,
155
along with a hot topic discussion and a question I will answer from my audience.
156
The link is below.
157
It's also a great way for me to connect with you directly without relying on an algorithm.
158
You may be a regular viewer here or a new one, and this is your first video.
159
Maybe the algorithm will never suggest me to you again, and this is the last video from me you'll ever see.
160
If it is, then I wish you the very best of luck.
161
But I hope you'll stick around to listen to some music and connect with me and the community, which you can do by watching this.
इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "Give me 9 minutes and I'll give you 10 years" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
