> Some random company in India licenses it for their meditation app Lmao if your music is so boring that people want to meditate to it, you're as much of a "musician" as the guy who writes elevator music

nice man any tips? I'm a 27 year old bedroom musician neet
Send your stuff out to as many places as you can, spend money on advertising if you can. Make professional looking press kits with everything people might need if they decide to run your stuff. Most importantly, be unique.
Congrats, you googled my name lol Make sure to check out my articles while you're at it.
Thank you user

awesome man, when I sold my first song on bandcamp for $1 I felt so realized, because someone actually liked my music and sent me a message about how it spoke to them. You actually made me remember that i need to keep recording and maybe someday it will reach more people, godspeed man

I was in a similar scenario as you, but I was running a music blog.
>Started a record label with cool bands from my area in 2013 > started small, got some blog/radio credit, > Had over 35k in revenue in n 2015 + 2016 with some sweet placements > Contracts for artists expire in 2020 (4 year contracts) > Corona virus happens > MFW only $3,000 in revenue in 2020
