Thanks!
Jesse,
I’ve been consuming your Musformation content for a year now and I wanted to thank you for providing focused info windows to explore in building out a career path plan in music.
There can be a lot of moving parts…
I look forward to meeting up w you down the road at a show or making music together on a rooftop in Brooklyn w the City as the backdrop!
Oh yeh what I wanted to say also was you are friggin funny!I love the side thoughts, sarcasm, East Coast attitude
(I was born Jersey City).
Much respect,
Jeremiah
1:42 true as fuck!!!
This is my biggest question if my hook have profanity and I’m lip singing it will it be delated or will I get a strike it’s kinda weird becuz many songs have profanity and people can dance to it but actually singing the hook of my song wonder what will happen
I’m the 100th comment!!!
0:35 2 hours a week are you kidding me?? I spent hours yesterday just trying to find my microgenre or some decent hashtags to use and I could still hardly find any other artists that sound like me or any hashtags that I’m confident using. Especially for someone with zero prior knowledge about how to market or any social media experience, this is a lot.
I have to practice my instruments 5-8 hours a day just to maintain the skills necessary to make my content. Everything I actually make is in addition to those practice hours every day. Add all this stuff on top of that and this is an incredible mountain of work. I’ll probably spend at least 40 hours over the next week just on working on marketing/social media and I’ll still have a long way to go after that.
I’m not complaining here at all, I enjoy what I do but I just wanted to say this may seem simple and easy to you but trying to make it in music doing everything yourself is very hard. I have to be proficient at drums, singing, multiple styles of guitar, recording, mastering, writing, videography and now also music marketing/social media. I’ve been working 12-15 hours a day for months now since I’ve been seriously pursuing this. Adding on this whole other world of social media and marketing on top of all that is a gargantuan task. I will do it and be successful, I’m not complaining just giving you a bit of reality here. 2 hours a week in my dreams…
I don't know how many times I have to watch this video before the information sinks in XD I've found myself on this video for the third time now
Great content!! Thaaank you 🙂
Finally someone who actually gives real info and doesn’t just dance around da answer. Thank you 😂
Twerking on grandfather's head 🙈
How to grow on TikTok…understand and come to terms with the fact that it’s a slot machine and not a blackjack table.
Thank you Jesse, your advice is second to none! We are going the animation route, is there anything different you'd recommend for this?
Posted a popular video on tiktok that shit 2x my numbers in 3 days so yeah… honestly that shit powerful you just gotta be good and have a plan of action, I like tiktok cuz they dont play favorites like youtube and facebook does
Hmm as an EDM producer whose tracks don't have vocals, who also doesn't do instrumental performances (my DAW is my instrument!…), I find it a bit hard to know what videos to make for TikTok 🤔
your a gem bro pushing us to the next level
Love your channel man, so many ideas. Can’t wait to finish my Singles and start trying your ideas for the next roll outs.
Great content Thx so much!!!
Excellent! Excellent video with great advice. Thank you so much!. Certainly going to dive into more of your material on the subject
Polacheck for prez 24
Jessseeeee thank you for saving my (musical) life 🙌🏽
much needed , no pain no gain in the swolmageddon.,
It seems like the lip syncing in the room is working for everyone but me :/
Dude you deserve so much more recognition
The only tiktok videos ive ever had hit 1000+ views are videos 3-6 seconds. But im 46 & dont do any tiktoky type of content.
Is it possible for you to breath through your nose? Asking for a friend.
I thought TikTok was going to be banned in US. How are we to know, as creators where to invest our time?
Lol I've watched so many of your videos in the last 30 days since finding your channel. Just finished listening to Processing Creativity, Get More Fans is in the mail right now. Thanks for your generous work homie!
The Trump/Obama/biden gaming trend is the best thing that happened lately, pls don’t talk it down lol
Great video Jesse! We have a video for our latest single but I can only use the 1 min audio that my distributer sent to TikTok. If I try to upload the whole song I get it taken down for copyright as I have under 1000 followers. I guess I could just make different clips with that 1 minute. Any suggestions for this dilemma?
Wow great video
Honestly, this is a totally brilliant idea that I'm going to work into my music video planning. Thanks, Jesse! By the way, I use logic on my Mac, in my songwriting, and IRL, but that was still funny because it's true! I love how dynamic your videos are, man. You are the best!
Thank you, this is great advice and very inspiring … do you have any examples of artists like Caroline Polachek but who have stuck with posting 30-60 clips of just the hook? Would love to see how much variety they put into their text, description etc or whether there are key messages they repeat over and over. Thank you again!
❤
If you enjoyed this and want to level up on TikTok I have a ton of videos on how musicians blow up on TikTok here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omKZ-9HUHh4&list=PL0i-5Ujnd4VVTUEEcoX4uTqK4j1EnvhGs
so much alpha in this video it’s crazy
Dance for me..dance for them
what about subtitles in tiktoks? How important is it and do you have any tips for that?
Quality content as always, Jesse! Upping your comedy game there as well 😂
Why do you always sound like you have a stuffed nose xd
I know for music we use organic easily but does anyone know what cards tiktok ads accept? Like I wanna see which to get cause mine don't work
My god you got terrible taste in music. What shill simp lmao. Solid advice, but dude, keep it in your pants ffs. Her music is mediocre at best and the chick's proper fugly
did the dog make anyone else remember to like this video? thanks for the knowledge J
Great video, thanks. A good example of low fi video is Neil Young's A fork in the road. I love that song and video because he just doesn't give a sh**t.
You’re just a fountain of ideas
You're bang-on, Jessie! A few director friends of mine quite literally storyboard several shots of their high production music videos specficially with TikTok, Shorts, and Reels in mind. In fact, oftentimes — those 16:9 re-contextualizations are PART of the deliverable packages. Keep up the great info!
New Jesse Cannon video? Cancel whatever I had to do.
so many gems in this video that i will apply in my next release, thank you Jesse 🙏🏽💎👨🏽🎨
