"Biig Piig" is the stage name of Irish singer and rapper Jessica Smyth.

Her music has been described as "candlelight hip hop" by one reviewer, and others have compared her to Erykah Badu. But the reality is that Jess doesn't feel ready yet to put a label on her sound, or make a bold statement about the sonic direction she is going in. She has also yet to release a debut album, with only a back-catalogue of one-off singles and a few EP's having been released since 2017.

Join Jay and Jesse for a discussion on Biig Piig's music, career and creative approaches so far.

Knowing this is super important because pretty much everyone in the music game will tell you that a lot of success comes from being in the right circles with the right people...

...but almost nobody tells you how to get in those circles, so I'll tell you right now - it starts with YOU.

Literally... noticed how I started this email?

I started it with the letters "Y-O-U".

That's because people want to know what's in it for them and when you're starting out a conversation talking about yourself (i.e. using the words "I" or "me"), then it's a pretty big turn-off.

I've been dripping this strategy into all of my messaging - from emails to Facebook ads to Instagram posts and everything in between - because people want to know what's in it for them.

Just as Keef said to me in a recent conversation, "it's not about a single strategy or a single ASK, but it's about the overall relationship you build with that person and you're missing what that relationship could potentially offer you when your ASK is focused on getting ONE strategy from someone". 💎

You can check out some more gems 💎 from that conversation that I recorded on the newest episode of the Midi Money Podcast.

Keef talks about reframing the conversation to lead with your personality so that you can close more impactful relationships in your music career so it's definitely worth checking out!

One of the reasons I think he's been able to do this successfully is because he identified a niché pretty early on, which was showing people how to make drill beats.

As drill artists like Pop Smoke started making waves a few years back, Jay realized that there was a demand for drill type beats, which separated him from many of the other producers making generic type beat tutorials on YouTube.

This is one of the reasons why you might see certain producers and entrepreneurs suddenly blow up - they find a niché that's beginning to build momentum and then they capitalize on it. 🤯

So if you wanna learn how to find your own niché that you can start serving right now on YouTube to grow your own music production business, OR you've already found your niché that you'd like to serve and monetize further...

...check out the newest episode of the Midi Money podcast to start using the same strategies that Jay Cactus used to grow a 6-figure business and YouTube channel by making drill-type-beat tutorial videos for music producers.

I hope you get some value out of it!

A lot of musicians don't know how to work the ins and outs of a DAW (like Pro Tools or Ableton), and many vocalists that record themselves daily don't even have time to learn how to engineer at a professional level...

That's actually one of the reasons why I first got started with engineering in the first place...

I really wanted to grow my beat business, but when I was first starting out, engineering in my recording studio was the thing that was providing me with a livable income - not making beats.

And it turns out William had a similar experience when he was first coming up.

I asked him how he was able to bring leads into his studio as a newer engineer and he told me that he used something similar to a referral system...

He offered hole punch cards that would incentivize his clients to come back again and again - for every 10 holes you got punched on your card, you'd get an hour of studio time at no cost.

This system basically made people want to book more time just so they could fill out their cards, which subconsciously made them feel like they were "completing a task".

Pretty smart, right?

During our conversation, William brought up some additional tips for engineers and producers that helped him grow his business to the scale it's at now...

You can use those same tips to bring more rappers and singers into your own business as an entrepreneur and music producer - go check out the newest episode of the Midi Money Podcast!

Recently he and I have been collaborating on a song contest launch for rappers and singers and have been relying on SMS text messaging for a huge chunk of our revenue.

One strategy we tried out before we launched was using an early-access waitlist to build excitement for our audience.

We let everyone know that they had about a week to get early access, and we did that by sending out a few texts and emails.

Within the first day of opening access, we made over $50,000. Could you believe that?

I attribute a lot of that success to SMS and don't think we could've gotten anywhere close with email alone.

That's because with email, open rates on average are actually pretty low and most people don't read the emails that come into their inboxes.

Yes, emails are still effective and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, but only 20% of people will actually read your emails if you're lucky.

(Personally, I know many people who don't even have their email notifications on and/or have "junk" email addresses that they never check.)

On the other hand, +90% of text messages that are sent are actually read. One of the reasons for that is because people are literally texting all the time - for many, it's their primary form of communication.

When someone sees a text message, there's also a good chance that person is already in their messaging app before the notification pops up - not to mention texts are usually way shorter and take much less time to read than email.

That being said - I personally think SMS is the way forward for entrepreneurial music producers and beat makers.

Wouldn't you agree?

At face value, they might not seem like they're worth much to most businesses (and to be honest I didn't see much value in them at first either)...

...but after Omari started explaining them to me, it's no surprise why some music producers like himself and Illmind have already started to leverage them.

They're sort of like a stock that you would trade on a stock exchange, but for influencers and creators.

So let's say I created a Creator Coin for my music production business, Legion Beats; if you wanted to support Legion Beats, you would put capital towards the Legion Beats Creator Coin.

The value of the coin goes up and down, kinda like stocks fluctuate in the stock market, but with Creator Coins there's an added incentive for investing.

That's because you can incentivize people who support your Coin, and one way you can do that is by rewarding people and giving them access to special content and deals only they have access to.

Isn't that pretty sweet?

I'd say so - I can't think of many other currencies that have this much power to build brand loyalty.

DISCLAMIER: It's still a very new concept, though!

That's why I highly suggest you start learning about it ASAP so you're ahead of the competition when more people start adopting it.

Start taking your first steps by watching my discussion with Omari in the newest episode of the MM Podcast.

"I made this 🔥 beat - go download it here!"

"I made this really dope sample pack that you should check out! It's got xyz features and you'd love it!"

Does this look familiar?

These sentences start with "I", which means they're addressing the wrong person!

Instead, you want to address your audience first so that it's clear you're focused on solving their problems. Here's what that might look like 👇

"Do you struggle to find beats and hooks that are mixed well and sound great?"

"Do you have a hard time getting your mixes to sound good because the samples you have don't sound all that great?"

See how using this strategy creates a small shift that reframes the conversation?

It's so effective that it's helped my buddy Bruce Beats make 6 figures in just a few months teaching music theory online to music producers.

He explained to me that putting and addressing your customers' problems first is what gets them interested in your solution (a.k.a. your product).

But that's just one of the many 💎 gems we talked about on the newest episode of the Midi Money Podcast.

Plus Bruce also revealed some of his secret music theory sauce that he applies in his own creative process to pump out more beats faster, so it's definitely worth checking out. 🙌

That's why I sat down with mixing engineer Amond Jackson (credits: Future, Young Thug, Snoop, Rick Ross, & more) to talk about some of the mixing mistakes producers are making with their beats and the hacks you can use to fix them so that you can make more 💵 with your beats.

❌ Too much reverb ❌

Reverb is supposed to create spatial awareness for the listener and shouldn't be thrown all over your beat, so to make sure you're not drowning out the important elements in your sounds, you can use an EQ to filter any unneeded frequencies out of your reverbs.

❌ Bass Blanket ❌

Specifically, when it comes to 808s and steady basslines, many producers tend to create a "Blanket of sound" that doesn't allow the brain to "reset itself" when it hears low end.

Instead, you can try cutting the tail of your 808s by using a gate to make your low end more dynamic.

❌ Wearing too many hats at once... ❌

"When you're making beats, just make beats. When you're mixing a song, just mix the song."

This was one of the biggest points that AJ brought up to me.... the most efficient producers and engineers in the game have two hats: a mixing hat and a producing hat.

If you focus on too many things at once (i.e. trying to make a beat and fully mix it at the same time), your attention is split and your efficiency goes out the window.

Instead, try to mix your beats completely after you've arranged it the way you like it.

And if you wanna learn some more of the mixing hacks that the top-performing producers are using in their own beats...

...then check out all the other tips that AJ mentioned on the newest edition of the Midi Money Podcast!

Some of the things I hear pretty often are, "How do I get my beats/songs on this blog?" or "How do I get a ton of streams on my beats/songs?"...

...but in reality, these usually aren't the things that will create a long-term and sustainable career in the music industry.

Instead, knowing your customers' needs and wants can be way more effective.

One of the things I learned from my friend The Young Exec (who's been able to network with people like DJ Khaled and Rick Ross) is that, as a musician, you don't always need to provide value through your music, especially when you're first starting out.

In fact, if you're only pushing your beats and songs to people who don't know you, it could backfire on you and your brand because you haven't yet earned their trust AND most people already have their go-to places to find great music.

So what's the solution...how do I get new customers and fans to find my beats and songs❓

One way to do this is by offering products and services people need first, and then pitching your music after, and here's what that might look like. 👇

If you're a producer who wants to target rappers and singers, you could offer a few beats upfront at no cost, and then charge for custom exclusives or a beat pack you've put together at a low cost.

Alternatively, if you want your beats/songs in front of people who aren't musicians and just listen to music recreationally, one of the things The Young Exec has recently recommended is to offer COVID-19 face masks (and bundle them with your music).

And while he explains his process, he emphasizes the fact that musicians need to shift their mentality from wanting to get into the industry to building a business that leads with value first.

Do you agree with this mindset shift?
