Once you discovered new music, do you tell others about the new music/artist you discovered? If yes, how exactly?
“If I like the new music then I tend to show my friends, I know how hard it is as an artist to get your name out there so every form of promotion goes a long way in the long run

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
I know how I want the video before I even write the song so I draw the video up first and write around how the video has been constructed.
