ASK THE PEOPLE WHO ALREADY DO IT

Brye posted a video about making her song “Lemons” on an iPad issued from her high school:

“How crazy is it that a song that could be on Sirius XM Radio, streamed a hundred million times, literally chart on the global top like viral 50 or whatever… it was literally made on GarageBand. You do not need fancy equipment, you do not need a degree to make money and to do this is your job.”

The second part of the video hits on something I’m always talking about on our Zoom calls, which is talking to and learning from other people:

“Watch YouTube videos, ask the people in your life who also might do music, or people online for tips for advice. Most of the learning I have done has been watching other people produce, or asking questions, or like watching those interviews… like my favorite interview of all time I think, Ethan Groska, he’s my favorite producer, and I learned so much from like an interview called like Meet the Makers I think and he talks about his process.”
