Hey Jesse, maybe I’m a moron, but I missed where you explain how to find these curators/their emails. What’s the most appropriate way to do this? Thanks man.
Regarding co-signs, is name-dropping previous affiliations (labels, producers, etc.) a bad look?
Feels a lil icky but 🤷♀️ not above it I guess 😅
Cool. Got 5 ep’s ready to go.
Check out preview on my reels!
what is that track in the back?? I can't get it out of my head! the first one from the start..
This one is gold
I got lost at the template examples. I could not figure out what you were saying. Are those band names?
So does it mean that when I distribute my song today i need to wait for 7 days before I pitch or I can do that the same dayc
you feel me dawg

Ever listened to one of those editorial playlists? It’s 90% trash music
music is not on upcoming?
This was very helpful. I really struggled with writing a pitch before I watched this video a few times
I've watched this video like 3 times and have taken extensive notes. I'm making our first pitch tomorrow and i'm going to implement all of this info. Super nervous but fingers crossed…
Spotify playlists are worthless. it’s a scam
If the song is in german, should I write the pitch german aswell?
Hey Jesse! Love the channel. Not sure if I will get a response on an older video, but here goes! So we released a single which we think is our best song. We couldn't pitch it because we weren't on Spotify before. Can we/should we pitch it now that EP is dropping even if song is already a single?
Man, the “we’re 4 dudes from Kalamazoo just hanging and bangin, ya feel me dawg” hit different while driving around Kalamazoo on my nighttime grind listening to your content, I was bought in after the mention of Head Automatica in the Master Your Mix podcast.
Appreciate the hell out of your content, it’s so damn m stimulating hearing the things I sit and think about all day in a clear cut, no bullshit way.
Ps: were you in The Revive Easycore Group?
Im a sincere fan of yours. The knowledge you’re sharing is extremely valuable. Some sincere feedback I’d tweak. Your knowledge exceeds the editing. IMO the visual and music choices of this editing ends up being more distracting then engaging. Also, your videos feel really bloated. It takes way too long to get to your main points of advice. Just my thoughts – I’m sure many feel different and love it. Whatever the case, greatly appreciate your info!
Thanks for this Jesse , you are now my guru! Unbelievable channel!!
We release Amelia Chain's music. Not a single 'editorial' playlist, but approaching 1,000,000 just by working individual playlists. The way forward? We think so.
Great Video as always Jesse! Quick question – any cheaper alternatives for that playlist journey information! Can't justify the $140 / month Chartmetric paywall but the playlist journey is such a sick feature! I want it!
Imma keep it real though, why would should we listen to a person talk about sounds and music when they can't even stop their mic from distorting and peaking like crazy.
This video was unbearable to listen to due to the constant distortion coming from the mic, you need to get this sorted out.
why cant i find ayahuasca edge break anywhere lol ?
Im learning so much.
This is how you will help us way better… Let's say your single is baby by justing Bieber,. Tell us , what would you write to the curators so they can listen to it and place it ..
Are there any alternatives to Chartmetric that don't cost $140 a month? I love their artist-level stats, but just can't swing the premium for playlist journeys for the one artist I'm working with 😵💫
8:57 I like that background 😁
Random question, but does anybody know the background music the video starts off with🤔😂
I pitched my song 4 weeks in advance of the release BUT I edited the pitch a week later. (and my pitch on the spotify for artist page now says "Pitched on" the edited date rather than the original date from a week prior) Do I need to set my release date back another week to compensate?
Hey Jesse, maybe you can consider me as your project for these videos. Really show the people the live growth and take me under your wing. You have great content, but a real demonstration with an artist who works hard such as I would be really cool to see. Keep making content
I got so excited hearing Dillinger Escape Plan. Hometown heroes! Had no idea they were from the county next to me until recently, grew up listening to them.. Anyway, awesome video!
I never subscribe or comment on videos but you’re legit. Thanks 🤙🏾
pure gold man
How do I check the popularity score on my track?
