      Hi, I write and record several original pieces a day. Have done my entire life. Last night I became aware that a neighbour celebrated as they recorded me through ceiling and or wall. They were sone of my deepest lyrics and before I mixed, they wrre shouting about getting £85 in their account for it. I’m desperatlely asking how I can find out if, what and where they submit… MY WORK. Please help, I am unable to work anywhere else. I have 300 uploaded tracks in my style, am actualising now but this is a wall to hit and I feel lost, disrespected, vnerablr and near suicudal. Please 🙏any advice will be more than appreciated.

      Sincerely,
      Brian Wood

      How do you write your own song lyrics at home and get other performer artists to sing it and get credit for what you wrote and get paid for it?..

      • Omari MC

        The two ways would be to either develop relationships with those artists or pay for them to sing on your songs. You can use marketplaces like Fiverr to find singers.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
