News You Should Hear About ⚠️
Jack Antonoff is making studio space more accessible.
The award-winning producer posted to Instagram this week, announcing his partnership the Ally Coalition to bring studios "to people who wouldn't have access to them."
"Our plan is to build these spaces, pay for maintenance and engineering, and let the center give out the time slots for people to use them," he said.
Antonoff spoke to the importance of studio access in his own career, saying, "Working with analogue gear and creating sounds that are impossible to recreate is powerful. Knowing you are in a space for a limited amount of time and pushing yourself to the edge is vital. A studio is a rare space, and you function different because of it... I've loved home recording but my life changed in a recording studio."
An Industry Secret They Don't Want You To Know 🤫
There are several effective ways to promote your music. Another powerful method is leveraging YouTube channels dedicated to music promotion.
For instance, Drop Nation is a popular YouTube channel with over 350K subscribers. They specialize in promoting various music genres such as electro-house, pop, reggae, deep house, trap, and dubstep. Drop Nation helps new artists reach a broader audience by featuring their music on the channel.
However, while there are many YouTube channels providing promotion services, it’s essential to ensure you’re making a deal with a legitimate and trustworthy service. Always do your research to confirm the credibility of the promotion service you choose. Check out their channel here!
