Trying to please everybody means you wind up pleasing no one. Lock in on the audience. Hey, the audience may be you. The one person it should matter to the most. This came up on Thursday's Q&A with PJ too. He made what he loved, and the people who loved the same thing found it. Twenty years in, that's still how it works. Before you call your next song done, name who it's for. Swipe through the slides, then drop it in the comments: who is your next song for? 🙏🏾

The other half is protecting it, and that part is more technical than most people think. Register the songwriting with your PRO (BMI, ASCAP, SESAC or GMR). That's how performance royalties find you when the song is played on radio, TV, in venues and online. Get an ISRC code for the recording. It's the fingerprint that tracks that exact version of the song. Register the recording with SoundExchange. They collect digital performance royalties from places like SiriusXM and Pandora for the artist and the owner of the recording. Do all of it as soon as the song is finished, not when it starts working. You gave it your time. Now give it a chance to create wealth for you and impact in somebody else's life. 🙏🏾

Yo, I was working on this loop for The Artist 9 and I got stuck. I was seeing can anybody add some more instrumentation to it. *He wants to tell a story with it

Sad and excited at the same time....Transformation has taking place, not only with you, but with me as well. The charter members will never be forgotten! Let's do this one last time...See ya tonight at 6:30pm CST
