I think that you should write whatever music you like. No matter what you do, there will always be people who will appreciate it. Also, you don't have to confine yourself to specifically only indie. You could always do a pop thing once in a while. As to making a new channel, that'd be fine. But I personally like to see how Youtubers, no matter what they make, grow from their early videos with not as good quality to full HD videos.
I really enjoy your stuff and I'll always support/watch you.
Hey man, just follow what you want do with your music direction. It'll keep you happy, and your best work will come out of what you're most passionate about. Just because you do focus on your own indie style doesn't mean you can't appease the rest of your fans with a pop cover here and there. I personally like the pop vibe better, but your stuff is still great.
T.j you are awesome I think your voice is good just not as great as other singers. But you are very cute and over seen you act in music videos, I think modeling is your thing!!! Love you forever.
I think the whole reason that having a channel that is simply named after you is so popular is because YouTube is all about a more honest appeal to music. So, having your name there is a way of saying "This is me and this is what I do, plain and simple."
In light of that, I don't think you should pander to us. Do what you do and do it well and you will have supporters. Well, you'll have my support at least.
I do like the indie sound of carol of the bells. You have to be 100% passionate about what you produce, don't be swayed by people saying "more pop!" or something. And you know, just have fun with it, I think it's cool that you're expanding and exploring your musical boundaries.
Something I've learned is that you will ALWAYS do best at what you enjoy most, so I think going forward with the indie sound is the way to go. There's always room for improvement, so finding where the reverb/doubled voices gets overwhelming will be up to you. I'd say start with less, add as needed.
As for changing names, It's up to you. I like sticking with where you came from. Christina Grimmie still uses "ZeldaXLove64" and Christina Perri still has "lovemspenny" and they aren't hurting for it
1. & 2. make sure they are the same I like the IvyLeaguePunk maybe keeping this channel and bumping the gaming channel to IvyLeagueGaming or something like that, but defiantly a gaming channel, since games might inspire some of your music so having the muse for view is pretty cool
3. Do indie, keep your pop covers, but your personal be indie, if it's indie pop or rock for a few songs and then metal and blues for another your still genera and it gives yo the ability to explore or emotionalize
While I discovered your music in the pop genre, I actually appreciate your sound towards more of the alternative sound, a genre that I actually prefer over the years. If I was to choose which channels to put, I'd say create your music site first. And then afterwards, your gaming channel. Personally, I prefer the gaming channel but that's just my opinion. Keep up the good efforts and update on the progress. Yay!!
sometimes I find you really painful to watch because of your handsome face. Just so you know. But yeah, I think it could be great to separate your different channels. I don't know if you need three of them. Two could be good.
Thanks for asking. : ) I liked the effects in Apologize, thought it suited your voice. But you should do what you like and feel comfortable singing. Not a gamer, but might take a look at it.
Gaming channel I would enjoy but let's face it, I'm biased on that account being a gamer myself. As for the new music channel, go for it. It sounds like something you are behind, and there is no reason you shouldn't do it if you want to. And about a new indie style, yes please! You can do both styles well, but indie is what I would prefer.
I would say DO NOT make a new channel. Just because other's are doing it, you dont have to. And honestly, i much rather like the channel name ivyleaguepunk. The fact you have videos from years ago when it wasnt as high of a quality just is perfect so people can see how you have changed. I would love for you to just keep this channel (and yes make gaming channel and do indie :) you sounded good in the last videos)
Hi TJ! Please do more like the last vids. The sound is great & I love it. "Good Live" & "Skyscraper" are an other style, but they are a part of your music-development. And btw. for me you were always TJ Smith - a musician, an actor and a very interested person. I'm sorry, but I don't understand so much about gaming. That's another part of your live and it belongs to you. It's a pleasure to have the chance watching your vids. Thanks for share them with us. I enjoy the next ones. Little hug. ;)
I kind of liked your voice more without the heavy reverb on "Apologize"... I felt like it was too much reverb. But indie does suit you, and you don't need heavy reverb and effects to sound great.
I think separate channels for your music, vlogs and gaming is a great idea! That way people can subscribe to the certain aspects they like about you! Indie is totally the way to go, especially for you!
- You don't necessarily have to follow the crowd! BUT if you feel like you should make a new channel, go for it! I doubt anyone would not want you to... hahaha
-Gaming channel would be cool:) that's how i first found out about your music haha
-Indie style in my opinion is great and suits you,
Dude. Do whatever YOU want to do. If you want to have one channel or three, it's really what makes you happy. Your viewers all watch for different reasons. If this makes any sense...
i think creating a music channel could be a pretty good idea :) but im personally not interested in gaming channels at all and i think a mix of indie and pop would be awesome cuz i love both :D
You are super hot!! <3
