🎧 Making niche music isn’t the problem. Marketing it like pop music is.

If you make ambient, shoegaze, neo-classical or experimental music, stop trying to reach everyone.

Find the people who already love your sound. 🎯

🔹 Target genre-specific playlists
🔹 Pitch curators in your scene
🔹 Use your genre name everywhere

The more specific your music is, the more specific your targeting should be.

Your goal isn’t more listeners. It’s more right listeners. 🖤🎵

Years ago, we struggled to find momentum on social media, but the artists I worked with were hesitant to go in on short-form videos. After seeing all the success LaRussel had many years prior, I suggested to Lyrics Born we try something different to promote his music. He was hesitant at first, but was willing to experiment with a new acoustic album. This is the story of how we ended up going viral and Snoop Dogg reposting one of our video to his 87 million followers.

Over a span of a year with experimenting with short form performance videos, I grew Lyrics Born’s following from 20k to 200k+ on IG and 1.5k to 58k+ on TikTok. The funny thing we had our most viral videos take off almost 6 months after Snoop.

This is part 1 of a 3 video series. Clips are from the @HistoryoftheBayClips podcast by @Dregs_One.

Welcome to MADE2MAKEIT — a live performance competition series where underground artists perform in front of a panel of judges for real opportunities, prizes, and exposure.

But there’s a catch…

The rules are simple: If the judges aren’t feeling it, they pop your balloon. If the balloon pops, your time is up and the critique begins. Some artists rose to the occasion, while others crumbled under the pressure.

Who deserved to win?
