The entire beat selling industry is crazy, I wont even do it any more. I get paid to produce a final finished peace of music for an artist and I work with them on vocals and everything, or I make a track to license for film and TV. No more trying to sell "beats"" for $25 booo

^^ How did you get into making music to license for film and TV?

 

[thedreampolice]

Networked my ass off, met people. Created music for licensing sites then got an agent. Its REALLY tough to get started.

Thanks man. Apologies if this is slightly off topic but out of curiosity do you have a database of fans of your work?

 

[thedreampolice]

Yes, I have a mailing list for Drunk Pedestrians that I keep updating. I also have a database program I built myself to track where my songs have been submitted.
