    it seems like every few years an artist
  • 00:00:02

    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

  • 00:00:35
    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

  • 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

    nationalities and as we grow up we have
