It's been a long time since the next serving of tips, huh? No need to worry! Today is the day they return! =)
Today's tip of the day is:
01. Fight the Opposition!
 |
| Fight the Opposition! |
Now, I don't mean to start a fight with your worst enemy, aha. All I mean is to stand up for yourself and what your music stands for.
Yes, you know this already, I know. However, this is really important because sometimes the pressure can be too much. For example's sake, if you're used to writing a certain way, and every one of your listeners are used to hearing that certain style, people usually get comfortable with anything that they're accustomed to. Why can this be a problem? Let's say you get tired of this style, and for a while you want to try something different. Experimentation could allow you to reach more followers, however, in some instances, the ones that are used to that specific sound, could be driven away.
The key is to not let negative comments get in the way of how you want your music to be. You're the one behind the pen, behind the keyboard, behind the guitar, behind the computer, behind the songs. You should be the one who gets to decide what to make, as long as it's not in bad light, or bad energy.
So bottom line is, make the music you want to make, and don't be discouraged by what fans or listeners of your music may say! Cause if you're not having a fun time making the music you make, that will show in the final product. So have fun, be cautious, but not too cautious so that you lose sight of what your music is supposed to represent!
Thanks for reading, and till next time, peace out to all my drafters!
Sincerely,
Julian.
Hello all,
For those who follow Draftboard, I want to give my sincere apologies for the hiatus from updates recently! A lot has been going on in my life, and time seems to become shorter by the day. To make up for all lost time, Draftboard will be undergoing major changes in the next couple of weeks, including lots of new posts! Once again, my sincere apologies, but stay tuned for more material please!
In a lighter notion, we've reached number 14 for "Song of the Day!" For today, the winner is "Young And Beautiful" from singer, Lana Del Rey! Enjoy!
Sincerely,
Julian.
Dun, dun, dun, dun...
Dun, dun, dun, dun!
I have an announcement!
This marks a very special post in Draftboard's history, (which has not been too long) but...
We have the first post of a new section!
Introducing the 'Scope of Songwriting,' a new section of Draftboard that revolves around interviewing various musicians and artists, to find out what their routines are, how they view the industry, what we can expect from them in the future, and more!
In this intro episode, I sat down with Christina Kay, and Matthew Miller, two, young, aspiring artists,
who each have a different take on the industry, reflections of themselves, and their desires.
This episode may be a little short but I assure you that future episodes will have a bigger range. Some episodes will be short like this one, while others will be longer than ten-fifteen minutes.
However, let's not talk about the future so quick because the future is now! Enjoy the first episode of 'Scope of Songwriting' and thank you so much for all the support!
Till next time, peace out to all my drafters!
Sincerely,
Julian.
Today's song of the day winner is "A Little Faster" by rock band, There For Tomorrow! Enjoy, and till next time...
Peace to all my drafters! ^^
Sincerely,
Julian.
Today's quote goes to rapper, J.Cole! Enjoy!
"I don't live for the accolades. I'm more so about the music. Making it, and putting it out. Those are the two best feelings." ~ J.Cole
