Imagine one of your songs would blow up right now
Could you handle:
- The fame?
- The shows?
- The fans?
- The social media messages?
- The finances?
- The need to stay on top?
- The pressure?
- The expectations?
- The lack of sleep?
- The endless traveling?
The reality is that A&R managers of big labels will first look if you have at least 50k followers on Instagram or Tiktok before they start listening to your music
Just had a talk with the manager of my sidejob. I told him I'm gonna quit
Why? Cause I truly believe that my music is more important than earning money
I'm gonna spend all my extra time on going full time in music. Much love to anyone who supports me on this journey ๐ซถ

I need new music! ๐ต
Do you want to get your music featured in my new "Indie Innovators" playlist on Spotify?
Step 1: Follow me on Twitter
Step 2: Like the playlist on Spotify (link in comments)
Step 3: Submit your music in the comments โฌ๏ธ
I'm thinking about sharing snippets of my music every day on here. I mean tweets are cool but the music is what it's all about!
How often do you share your music?
Musicians often tell me that they don't think its worth making content cause they get no engagement
I always ask myself:
How much time and effort have you put into researching what makes good content?
I get a feeling that artists supporting artists is becoming more important now than ever
Musicians know what it's like to struggle which is why they understand eachother
Keep supporting the artists that you love, it goes a long way! ๐ซถ
I changed my artist name twice
I started as Ivanho and then Outer Space. I never felt too connected with those. Then I included some letters from my own name and it became Sensko. Now it's permanent
How many times have you changed your artist name?
If you blame the algoritm that you don't get exposure then you'll probably never get it
Either figure out what works, or keep blaming it for the next 5 years and see how far it gets you
The choice is yours
Every type of music has a target group of people who are willing to listen to it
Your job as a musician is to find those people and keep them interested
This is how you build a fanbase
If an artists blows up and gets momentum, but then all of sudden decides to take a 1 year+ break from music
Do you think they can still reach the top after the break?
Never talk about yourself in a negative way. Your mind might start to believe it's true
In fact, do the opposite. Go to the mirror and look yourself in the eyes and say "I can do it" 3 times. I want you to really mean it
You'd be surprised about how you can shape thoughts
Am I the only one who find these diss tracks kinda lame?
You can rap about so many beautiful things in the world but you choose to drag someone else down
I highly underestimated the amount of music yall would send me
I'm still going over tweets from 2-3 days ago ๐
Guess there is a high demand for people willing to get their music heard
I just realized how much exposure you can get from selling non-exclusive licenses to video games
Not only do you make some money but the fanbase of that game gets to hear your music
There are thousands of game developers. You can even freelance custom music. It's big game
3 good reasons to support independent artists:
1. They get little to no help and do it all by themselves
2. They are some of the most authentic and artistic people you'll ever meet
3. Even if you don't see it, they are working behind the scenes
I'm running out of time
I have about 2 years left before I'm forced to take a full time job
I'll do anything to go full time in music before then
Gonna be spending all my energy to make it work
We're gonna make the dream a reality
"I Wanna See Ya" ๐
I'm super excited to announce the release for one of my favourite songs today!
This one a bit different style than usual. I personally love the dreamy synths & vocals in combination with the uplifting beat, and I hope you feel the same!

I heard someone say people from your hometown are not your audience
I disagree. I think those are the people who support you first irl. If you wanna begin performing then start local!
I understand if you want to support underground artists and alternative music
But saying mainstream music sucks just makes no sense. The reason it's mainstream is because the majority of people consider it to be good. Also, mainstream includes a wide variety of different genres
I made my first song with a female singer! Her name is Skyelar and we hope to bring you heart-warming vibes to start the year. Super excited to share this one!
The song will be called "When You're Mine" and it will be coming out this friday
Please pre-save it in the comments ๐
I often share my music, milestones, achievements, goals, desires, values, beliefs, motivation and more
Just know that there is also another side of that. Late nights of work, saying no to friends, wanting to grow faster, not getting enough money
But it will all be worth it

3 life lessons I wish I knew sooner:
1. Nobody is coming to save you, if you want something then only you can get it
2. Most people don't care untill everyone cares
3. Easy and fast work will never beat hard and long work
What is 1 life lesson you wish you knew sooner?
Best advice I can give to newer artists is to put your music out there
If you only have 1 song up there and someone likes it then there is nothing else to listen to
Yesterday, I've seen 2 musicians give up on social media
This game is tough. And not everyone is able to handle it. But giving up on social media in 2024 is almost guaranteed that you won't get exposure from your music
People come and go. But the perseverant stay
The moment someone sits with me in the studio I instantly forget how to produce, mix and master
I feel like I get way better focus when it's just me and FL
Anyone else has this issue?
