What does that look like for you? For me it’s just having enough resource from music to warrant doing that all the time. Nothing too crazy perhaps. That and true connection of the music so it communicates the feelings I had when making it.

in some ways I already have made it: - I played live on stage with my favorite band from high school in 2007 and 2023 and appeared on their 2011 record - toured the country three times - just today, someone opened their DJ mix with one of my songs from 1998 I don’t want Taylor Swift level fame. But I’d love to have more than 80 Spotify listeners.

I feel you bro. Similar story, have had DJ residencies, music out on vinyl, supported big artists overseas and even charted and had sync deals. The thing at the core of it for me though is connection. I wonder what part of you would be unlocked if you were to have all your wants. What’s the real ‘why’?

I think I’m still searching for the why and I kind of like that

Where’s the best place for me to hear your music? And what track are you most connected to?

what ever streaming service you prefer I am on them all as Tricil The Emancipation is probably my biggest “hit,” another success was the music video for that introduced me to my wife from literally across the world but lately I’m feeling Come Out of It the most because the lyrics are like a letter to future me.

Listening to Emancipation now. Really involving, cinematic and detailed. 🙌

Get some YouTube ads placed and find your audience man! There’s literally thousands of people that would connect to this just waiting to be found.

thank you, maybe. it’s hard for me to get over the “pay to play” idea of pouring money into ads and not getting very many sales. or streaming with their 90 day later pay out, the ROI isn’t worth it (also I’m unemployed right now so even more so)

The ‘funnel’ is not to get direct sales. You use the shop window track as a way of getting new potential fans attention. Then, get them on a mailing list and make offers around your music and existing catalogue elsewhere. Shows, merch, customised songs and other novel offers

Oh trust me I am a direct-to-fan veteran since the Topspin Media days in 2010. We pushed this video a lot back then and gave away all my music for free (in exchange for an email address! email marketing is still so valuable!) flash forward to the current era, there’s a yet-to-be-minted out copy of this song, even: https://zora.co/collect/eth:0xf91e0363a9907681e6ae3356088565cbe9f23f18

Ok good, I’d hate to see you leave opportunities on the table as the source material is great!

I definitely wanna do a promo blitz of all the old shit, these are great ideas for sure! but I wanna time it appropriately about 6 months before a new release so that it’ll hit. and right now there isn’t any new stuff yet, so that comes first haha

I think the time is now bro, don’t necessarily need to time it to coincide with new stuff. Look for other markets globally, shows ain’t paying like that locally anyway at the minute. And forgive me if I’m saying stuff you’ve tried already, just wanna see you win!

no you’re exactly right for sure. again, I need a job first before I have money to take out ads for my own.

You’ll find a way I’m sure! But for now even if you have 1 dollar a day for testing it could prove fertile ground this time that you currently have. Anyway, I’ll shut up now! 😁
