they are, i met my first manager on ktt1, whenever i meet someone in the industry like that and i tell the story i can read on their face if they've been on here or not lmao

also worked w/ producers who have been on here (not like i met them on here, like they just told me they're on here too)

i mean it makes sense, its a v specific interest forum

tiktok is just the epitome imo of what we've already known, you're better making good catchy memorable music to grow a fanbase and garner attention than try and tinker and make some serious project and pray you blow

69, lil pump, lil nas x, pinkpantheresss and pop smoke imo all fit this. make some on your laptop and phone, make a video on youtube, catchy and good, and then you drop more songs like that, you end up making money and then drop albums

idk why ppl still try and go the old routes of doing like mixtapes and small shows at first. it's not bad but you're doing more work and it's not what's engaging ppl anymore, like plugging soundcloud in social media comments. my b for this big ass comment

i hate how cliche it is lol. like it's just another form of failing before you even start cause you're too worried about how you're perceived or the idea of failure

fr, let your content speak, there will be ppl that like it, and then hopefully something causes exponential growth, cause tons of youtubers and businesses have shown, the early stage is the hard part, after that growth just becomes more and more rapid as long as you don't stagnate or f*** up

i was just about to ask if it's cause the forum is an area of interest as i was reading

makes complete sense in terms of creatives, seems music is at the forefront though

ya it makes total sense especially for ppl in my age bracket (23-27) like I was on here tryna find the g.o.o.d fridays songs before I even had an account, then it was leak threads, then it was finding people w/ like-minded interests because I had trouble w/ that in high school and even college. this site made my interest in music feel like something real that i could go into tbh

then once i found music people in college we started booking shows in 2016-17, and i booked a bunch of artists that I had originally found on ktt (kevin abstract and daniel caesar in particular) and then some artists that other friends from ktt had sent me

i had just started making music then and seeing those artists at that stage of their careers made it feel real so i kept going !!!

facts bro. s*** been holding me back this whole time i can blow up easy at this point in my musical journey if we talking music quality but ur right, worrying about looking dumb during promotion f***ed me all the way up. I can barely post my s*** in music sxn without feeling a type a way.

i still haven't started using ig to post outfits and style. i'm still p****

just another topic i be thinking about. marketing is just such a big factor in like everything business, celebrity or rich imo.

stays fresh cause i'm always giving my friend like very basic business, marketing and just basic logic advice and he doesn't take it, or at least partially put it into practice. instead he's left just talking and saying how he wants to blow up, and get the money ah ah ah

nothing but facts

ktt has connected me with ppl that are more lik-eminded as me and have similar interests or just as passionate as me if not more creatively than any of my homies irl

this site and university have put me around ppl way better for my creative growth and freedom than any ppl i met or knew in high school, and i think that's why lately i've been feeling like i'm outgrowin em or they're just 'friends from high school' sadly

but i wanna start goin for s*** and takin opportunities and all these new ppl like that too and not afraid to be authentic and themselves so f*** it lets ball
