I actually did music production a lot in college (hip-hop, R&B). Paid for a lot of my school. I miss it and go back to it every once in a while. But for me, when it came to being paid to make something, it made me lose interest. It’s hard to explain, but when it turned into more of a job, I felt less inspiration and got way less creative. It was more suitable for a hobby for me.

When I look at the industry now, I don’t even know how you would get started. Everyone seems so damn talented these days!!! It seems harder than ever to separate yourself.

Thanks for sharing this! I feel exactly the same. It’s so hard to get out there.
I’ve done it as a hobby for some time, but eventually turned it into a passion. I don’t think I wanna work for someone else, and I love music. It’s like a drug

Honestly, if u hv any tips on monetizing this, pls share!

Wow, I already consider myself a pretty good PPT-er but after hearing ppt sound fx for the first time i realized you’re another level

Just repeat after me, "Gucci Honey" three times

I wish. How do you plan to pursue it?

Find ways to monetize

Wasn’t there like a DJ who is a former MBB? Like elephant or sth

Thanks for the info tho! I’ll look into him more

Keep in mind that if you want to monetize you won’t be doing the music you want, but whatever the market and the music label dictates. Maybe start by putting music on youtube.

Anyone here in partnerships management or business development or strategic alliances development? I’m in a BizOps role today and have been trying to break into this space without much luck. Hiring managers / recruiters always say the same thing when they do give feedback - that they’re looking for someone that has experience in the same role. What’s the best way to break in? It’s not like there are business development classes like there are coding classes where I can learn the job.
