00:00:00
it seems like every few years an artist
00:00:02
breaks through with a sound that is so
00:00:05
unique and original that it captures
00:00:08
everyone's attention and influences the
00:00:10
entire music industry but here's the
00:00:14
thing these artists didn't just get
00:00:17
lucky they knew something that the
00:00:19
majority of artists don't and in this
00:00:22
video I'm going to reveal a powerful
00:00:25
strategy that successful artists use to
00:00:28
set themselves apart from the rest
00:00:30
you'll learn why Finding and defining
00:00:32
your sound is not just important but is
00:00:35
essential to your success and I'll guide
00:00:37
you through a simple and actionable
00:00:39
method to make it happen it's so simple
00:00:42
in fact it might even feel like you're
00:00:44
cheating but before we get into that
00:00:46
let's talk about a common mistake that
00:00:49
stops 95% of artists from ever achieving
00:00:52
their true potential most artists
00:00:55
unknowingly fall into this trap that
00:00:57
makes their music blend into to everyone
00:01:00
else's and if you're not careful you
00:01:03
could be one of them too but don't worry
00:01:06
I'll show you exactly how to avoid this
00:01:09
and stand out from the crowd imagine if
00:01:13
your music could be something that
00:01:14
everyone can't help but notice so
00:01:17
genuine so original that it resonates on
00:01:20
an emotional level with your listeners
00:01:23
that's what I'm going to help you
00:01:24
achieve today so let me introduce you to
00:01:27
my favorite chocolate some parties if
00:01:30
you don't know them they're basically a
00:01:32
bigger version of an &m but regardless
00:01:36
they're here just to help me explain a
00:01:39
few things this is what it would look
00:01:41
like if everyone made completely
00:01:44
different and completely original styles
00:01:46
of music but that just isn't true is it
00:01:50
the act of imitation is inherent to the
00:01:52
way that we learn the way that we learn
00:01:54
to speak the way that we learn to sing
00:01:56
and in fact as much as we might hate to
00:01:59
admit it we borrow ideas we borrow
00:02:01
sounds we borrow chord progressions from
00:02:03
other artists all the time so what
00:02:06
happens is that slowly everyone's music
00:02:10
starts to sound the same and we're just
00:02:12
left with one shade of music but why
00:02:15
does that matter well because if your
00:02:17
music sounds like everyone else's it's
00:02:20
nearly impossible to stand out and
00:02:23
visibility as an independent artist is
00:02:25
just as integral to success as writing
00:02:28
great music but gaining visibility is
00:02:31
next to Impossible if you're just a
00:02:34
watered down imitation of someone or
00:02:37
something that already exists if you're
00:02:39
an orange smarty in a sea of orange
00:02:42
Smarties good luck but if you can be a
00:02:46
blue smarty in a sea of orange now
00:02:49
people won't be able to resist paying
00:02:52
attention human nature and Intrigue will
00:02:55
just take over and if you think that
00:02:57
this just isn't applicable to you
00:02:59
because you make aent guard dream state
00:03:01
hyperpop you're wrong you will find that
00:03:04
in any genre whether it's hyperpop or
00:03:06
hip hop or even classical the majority
00:03:09
of artists look to a leader for
00:03:12
influence and inspiration on sound and
00:03:14
style and this is the Trap taking
00:03:17
influence from what's successful Now
00:03:19
does not guarantee your success your
00:03:22
fans are much clever than you might
00:03:24
think and they deserve something only
00:03:26
you can create but how do you create
00:03:29
something or that only you can create
00:03:31
well don't worry it's much easier than
00:03:34
you might think after I explain this
00:03:36
concept I'll walk you through a
00:03:37
step-by-step method to help your music
00:03:40
stand out it's truly transformative but
00:03:43
first let's go back to these Smarties
00:03:45
imagine we have three artists pursuing a
00:03:49
career in the music industry person a
00:03:51
was born in London during the 9s but
00:03:54
moved with their Albanian parents to
00:03:56
Kosovo during their childhood a 15 they
00:04:00
returned to London alone to pursue a
00:04:02
career in music navigating the
00:04:05
challenges of living between two very
00:04:07
different cultures person B was born in
00:04:10
Barbados during the 80s and faced their
00:04:13
parents separating when they were young
00:04:15
later they moved to the United States to
00:04:18
pursue a career in music person C was
00:04:21
born in the ughs they grew up in a
00:04:23
multicultural household with one parent
00:04:26
from Kenya and the other from England
00:04:28
their parents adored music no matter who
00:04:31
you are or what you may believe now when
00:04:34
we are born we do not choose our
00:04:37
families our ethnicities or our
00:04:39
nationalities and as we grow up we have
00:04:42
little control over where when and how
00:04:45
this happens it just does these
00:04:48
surroundings and experiences shape us
00:04:50
and influence our music your exposure to
00:04:53
music during these formative years is
00:04:55
written into the tapestry of your unique
00:04:58
story so if you can view the most
00:05:00
influential songs of your life through
00:05:02
the lens of the person you are today you
00:05:05
will create something nobody else can
00:05:08
create and this is how you stand out
00:05:10
from everybody else be 100% genuine to
00:05:14
yourself and make music that you will
00:05:16
love forever so let me show you my
00:05:19
five-step method that will change your
00:05:21
artist career forever step one make a
00:05:25
playlist of every song that you love and
00:05:27
have ever loved this could be the the
00:05:29
first song you remember singing your mom
00:05:31
and dad's favorite song the song that
00:05:34
got you through your first breakup or
00:05:36
the song that made you start music any
00:05:39
song that has meaning in your life step
00:05:42
two go through the playlist and play the
00:05:45
first 5 to 10 seconds of each song If it
00:05:49
doesn't immediately bring back an
00:05:51
emotion a powerful feeling in your
00:05:53
stomach or an image in your mind delete
00:05:56
it from the playlist and repeat this
00:05:58
process until you have have 10 to 12
00:06:00
Songs Max the more you narrow down this
00:06:03
playlist the more you define yourself
00:06:05
and the easier your music will stand out
00:06:08
step three create an accompanying
00:06:11
document and for each song write down
00:06:14
why it is important to you describe in
00:06:17
as much detail as possible the emotions
00:06:19
you feel the places that it takes you
00:06:23
and what exactly touches you this could
00:06:25
be for instance the way that the singer
00:06:28
uses their higher register reminds you
00:06:30
of being a child or the contrast between
00:06:32
quiet verses and Loud choruses makes you
00:06:35
want to scream every time you hear it
00:06:37
capture the essence of what resonates
