 What's up everybody once again is Brian man Sean and the artist came to me the other day really just wondering Does getting into magazines like xxl source or you name it help or hurt your chances of really getting out there in short? Yes, of course They help your chances of getting out there and do they hurt they can hurt But it's really all up to you first whether you're in a magazine or not They don't determine whether you get fans and become successful They can't help you and get you in front of more people and seem like you have some kind of big Okay, but that's only something that amplifies what you're already doing now There's are some artists who start off just because they have relationships getting right into those magazines or whatever They have a manager that's connected, but that's not necessarily going to really push them and get people to love them Love them unless they still have the content at the end of the day You might have to go the longer route of getting your stuff out there But once you get your stuff out there magazines will talk about you anyway If you're making enough noise yourself You're gonna bring views to those magazines when they do articles about you So of course they're gonna talk about you regardless There are a lot of artists that are out today that was never on in freshman class and XSL is still writing about them and can they hurt? They can hurt if you rely on them to build your career when at the end of the day It's about the fans relying on a magazine to build up your career It's the same thing as relying on the radio and the record label in today's world Especially when at the end of the day the only thing that matters is the fans So as long as you focus and build your fan base, you will be alright regardless But if you rely on them to do that for you It might get you a head start and a few steps above really quickly and compare it to a lot of other artists But you still have to do the work and grow that fan base But you rely too heavily on them for your fan base once they decide to take that away from you Somebody decides they don't like you anymore yada yada yada then all of a sudden you'll lose all that traction that you Have once again. Yes getting your magazines It's helpful, but nothing ever is better than actually just truly building a real fan base There's a lot of people who've been in magazines who don't have careers There's also YouTube SoundCloud and all these other channels and places to get in front of people I say do all of them eventually of course you got to start focusing with a few but That's all for today.
