Has anyone made the jump to being a freelance music producer? How’d you get started? What are some things you had in place before you did it? Been thinking about it a lot lately. 🫠

I'm a designer who is learning how to produce music and I'd love to know the same! How's your journey going?
I've tried looking for fishbowls on here but none of them are active

Just saw this as I haven’t been on Fishbowl in ages! I actually started making the jump a few years back when I was a full-time creative in advertising.

In a nutshell, I got my start by sending my boss some music I made and convincing him to let me compose for a video we were doing. It went well, so I picked up some freelance composing gigs and then just kept doing that to build the portfolio. I guess my biggest piece of advice is to make a music portfolio. You’ll need one, just like you have one in advertising, to show that you can do the job.
