The first Music Producer Mastermind Meeting was held in Love and Laughter Studios in Anaheim, CA (Jan. 25-28, 2018). On this panel, we talk about how to get placements, how to connect with other producers, and much more!
This is Day 2 of 4.
This seminar was full of strategies you can apply as a music producer in this modern music business.
Main topics of the panel discussions were interrelated and revolved around the following themes/lessons:
- Building your brand/reputation: What pops in someone’s head when they think of you? What comes easy to you and difficult to others?
- Goal-setting: Crucial step in any business/profession/passion. What are you trying to accomplish and more importantly, why? (Asking so what over and over again)
- Setting your intention: Creating specific goals for the beat/project/outcome
- Developing a message: Create content that speaks to an audience
- Naming your projects: Song and beat title psychology (similar to other psychologies in fast-food (yellow/red colors), shopping, consumer behavior)
- Narrowing your focus: Avoiding changing goals and being sidetracked by different distractions; such as fame, awards, number of streams/plays
- Work Ethic/Commitment: Working hard, discipline and being consistent
- Authenticity: Earning trust (Universal trait in all aspects life). Producers only work with people that they trust
- The Journey of Self-discovery
- The Power of Relationships: Creating value for those above you in vertical relationships (Thirst vs. Hunger)
- Understand the business: Don’t just have your head down making beats or songs for years
- Independence in the Music Business: Distribution, assessing and reaching communities, monetizing your products, exploring business models, contracts, splits
- Building and maintaining email lists: Creating a community and providing value to your followers
- Routines/life hacks: Work techniques – Pomodoro Technique (Time management/Avoiding fatigue)
- How to get better at producing: Practice remaking songs you like, study the billboards, constant re-evaluation and improving sound, seek feedback
- Investing in your future: First invest time to earn money than invest money to buy time
- 10X rule: Whatever you think you are going to do. It’s 10 times harder than you think
- Teaching: If you can teach you can lead and generate another stream of income while helping others enhance their skill-sets
- Influence: Impacting the world through growth and contribution
