I will start this one by revealing the point immediately. BE PATIENT!!! Speaking about music generally, nothing happens overnight unless you happen to go viral and even still you will have to wait a little bit before you see your revenue. As a general rule of thumb, if you completed a release today, you should expect to wait about 3 months before you see the revenue made from your streams today. Why am I saying this? Well, most major digital music retailers only report their

Success is not what you are told or what you see, it is what you want it to be. Let’s ramble some more. Lbvs… Another HUGE mistake I noticed that changed my life was noticing the misinterpretation of the word “Success”... People most commonly think it means working to obtain what someone else has determined it to be. Success is not determined by the outside world. It is determined by the individual. Only you can create your conclusion of what success is, and most people are c

Here are some time to expand on keeping your data safe, specifically my article called “Back Up Your Sh**!” These are all things that can be done probably together and on their own to keep your data safe and redundant. Set your DAW’s (or any program for that matter) Autosave Feature. FL studio allows autosaves every 5 mins and before major moves. Use it! Save secondary, even tertiary copies of your tracks and projects where needed. You can never save too many copies, because

We will keep this one simple and present it to you in the form of math. Hypothetically, you have 1k followers. There is some guy you would like to work with that has the same amount of followers. You guys decide to work together and put out a track or album. You both release it on your platforms to each of your 1k followers. This means each of you have presented this project to 2k followers instead of 1k if you were to do it on your own. Now, if you both work together, utiliz

This is seemingly something that needs to be over emphasized. Keep It Professional! I can’t tell you how many times I have noticed unprofessional behavior by people who actually should be trying to stay professional until there are no other choices. And if you happen to be reading this and think this is about you, well it is, but it isn't lmao. So no offense at all! This is seemingly something that needs to be over emphasized. Keep It Professional! I can’t tell you how many t

I have noticed a ton of people tell me “Ok Cool, Let’s Do It” in one form or another, leading me to believe everything is cool and is going to happen as discussed. Great! Right? Example. I talked to one guy when I was in desperate need of artwork. I had very little experience in making art at the time and was not good at it at all. Speaking with him gave me enough confidence that I announced that I was going to drop a project within a certain timeframe. He explains to me how

So, Q goes and drops 'Com On' with Mar$ Noel and YeNn beats. People went crazy! They loved it and it really showed his quality when it comes to his vocal skills. No you know how he sometimes dabbles with other genres? Well, 'Wobble Man' is an album that shows off his skills as a producer. From Dubstep to Trap, this one will have you on repeat! See for your self!⬇️ Q's not done.... 2019 is set to be a very interesting year for 'Q The Beat Boy'. Be sure to follow him and keep u

The short answer is, most times, but only if you let it be… In comparison, in your lifetime there are few instances of something you learned to do that you perfected right off vs the number of times you failed or didn't do so hot the first time you tried. Or even the first few times… Every single thing you do or will ever do resulted from something you had to learn first, aside from involuntary and instinctual actions.
