Thanks for the insight boss!
Pure gold , thanks Jesse!
i really dont think Chainsmmokers qualify as fitting in the βweird, hyperpop worldβ so not sure if that example applies here
Cold emailing is the way to go for musicians wanting to establish connections. It is straightforward and effective. I have been using FilterBounce for around six months, and it is been a lifesaver. The real-time verification has kept my bounce rate down, which is crucial for maintaining a good reputation. Plus, their plans are super affordable! If you care about reaching the right people, you should definitely think about FilterBounce.
I cannot believe the difference cold emailing has made for my music career. With FilterBounce, I have got real-time verification that keeps my list clean, and for just $10 a month! This tool has been a blessing. It works wonders against tricky domains, making sure I am always in the game. If you are looking for an efficient solution to verify your emails, FilterBounce is the way to go.

Our track with the feature was our biggest one around the album release. But also, we were friends with our guest vocalist for years and didn't spend a big pile of money on it, so there's that. I definitely wouldn't want to throw a bunch of dollars at a feature, but I do love the thought of getting a bunch of friends on various tracks on the next record. To me that's what features SHOULD be about.
These panel discussions are where itβs at. Thanks guys!
I think my production and songs are good but every song I strive to get a sound thatβs unique and stands out
What are some ways an artist can take risks and think outside the box? π¦
Thank you for the information brother.
awesome episode, I like the perspectives
I love collabs! I'm always looking for new music that resonates with me and these team-ups help to bridge gaps in genres and fan base! Wouldn't have discovered HEALTH w/o Lamb of God and wouldn't have discovered Sierra w/o HEALTH! #KORITFW
Love u Jesse
