This is my second time writing this, as my website deleted the first draft. Buckle your seatbelt because now I'm slightly annoyed. My first draft was cheerful. This one will pack a punch.

Christian artists are supposed to be Christians first. The artistry is secondary. Our goal should be to lead people to Christ through scripturally correct music. We are preachers of the gospel who choose to do so over dope beats.

Your goal should not be to go viral. Your goal should not be to amass hundreds of thousands of followers. Your goal should not be to "blow up." Your goal should be to spread the Gospel. Your goal should be that, hopefully, at least one person hears a piece of content you've created and wants to learn more about God.

I had to take a step back and examine my own heart. I realized that I had become more concerned with views and likes than with the ministry. I took a step back. It was refreshing. It was rejuvenating. It made me bold. Hold on, let me cook.

I have a challenge for Christian Artists: Be bolder. Tackle unpopular subjects like calling out sin, encouraging folks to repent, reminding people that few find the narrow gate and that the road to destruction is broad.

Be encouraged that no matter how many people "see" your posts, a lot more people actually SEE it. And better than that, God sees it. Remember, friend, you can't fool God. He'll know if your intentions are pure or not. And yes, some artists build huge platforms even when their heart posture isn't the best. But if you observe long enough, you'll realize that what's done in the darkness always comes to light. You'll see some of these same people involved in various scandals and experience their own downfalls. A deficiency in character will always be exposed, in this life or the next.

Which brings me to my final point: Sometimes you won't get the reward in this lifetime. You may not get the cheers and the sold-out shows. You may never have the "Fans singing along with every word of your song" moment. But live faithfully and according to God's word, and you'll get your crown! And no one will ever be able to take that one from you because it will come from the Most High.

I'm not telling you not to strive for greatness. I'm not telling you not to dream. I'm just telling you to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

​If you’re an artist or influencer, a home studio can help take your creativity to the next level. So why do you need a home studio?  Here’s a few reasons:

There are times when I have a few lines in my head randomly during the day, or I think of something witty to say on a song that I’ve started. When that happens, I stop what I’m doing and log in to the good ol’ pro tools and press record. Having a home studio allows you to record things in the moment, while your emotions and creativity are still high. 

Imagine this: You meet someone cool on Instagram, and yall decide to do a song together. They send you a dope record with an open verse for you to record over. What’s the issue? Well you have to fork over $40-70 to your engineer for you to record a 12 bar verse that will only take you a few minutes. Welp, unless you have a studio of your own. In that case, you’d just mosey on over to your studio set up and record it. 

You can probably set up your entire studio for under $500 starting off. For most artists, that’s about 10 hours of studio time. So look at it this way; after recording just a few songs, the studio will have already paid for itself. You can save some of the extra money, or use it for promotions. 

Let’s say a big rapper just dropped a song that’s going crazy online. You can do a remix of it or record a cover version of the record and take advantage of their momentum. What if you wanted to get in the studio to remix the song, but your engineer was busy that day, or out of town? You could miss your window. Having your own studio prevents this. 


​Thanks for stopping by.

Ever tried to get in touch with curators but couldn’t figure out how? It’s pretty frustrating huh. I know. That’s why I developed this simple process. When I show you how easy it is, you’re going to be mad that you never knew this. 

​So to find spotify curators contacts, type in the (inserts random drum roll) SEARCH BAR! Shocking, I know. Here’s how you do it. 

​Step one: Type in a mood/genre or playlist style and then type “gmail”. Press enter. 

​Next we will click on playlists. Once you select a playlist, you will notice that these curators email/contact information is in the playlist description. Jot down the curators info and send them an email. Let them know that you like their playlist and you’ve attached a song link (of one of your songs) that you feel would match the mood of their playlist. 

​

​Bada boom, bada bing! Now just rinse and repeat! Contact any curators who have playlists that match your song’s vibe.
 
I hope that this is helpful for you guys!
