Music Producers, listen up.
This is the hardest business to pursue and I dare to say the most disorganized industry ever but why knowing this we continue to want to become the NEXT Metro Boomin or Murda Beatz?
I know where you’re at right now. You’ve been grinding, pouring your soul into your music, and nothing seems to stick.
You scroll through Instagram and see every “producer” out there showcasing their plaques, fancy setups, and streaming numbers. And here you are… fighting with some cheap headphones and a DAW trial version.
You think to yourself, “Maybe this isn’t for me.”
Stop. Right. There.
Let me tell you something powerful: every single producer you admire—Metro, TM88, Mike Dean & even Bricks himself.
They all had this SAME moment.
That gut-wrenching feeling of wanting to throw in the towel. But the difference between them and the producers who disappeared into mediocrity is this: they didn’t quit.
By the way if you haven't read Bricksdamane's story (Download his ebook his music producer's come-up story is super fire)
Note: If you are a new member, you will have to engage with the producer pathway members by liking, commenting, and writing helpful tips and sharing stories like I'm doing to rack up points to unlock ebooks, sounds, sections, etc.
And I’m about to show you how to make sure you don’t either.
Step 1: Understand Why You’re Stuck
The main reason you’re ready to quit is simple:
You’ve forgotten why you started.
Rewind for a second.
What made you open that first DAW?
Was it the love for sound?
The dream of touching hearts worldwide?
The idea of your name in the credits of a timeless hit?
That fire didn’t go out. You just buried it under frustration.
Here’s how to reignite it:
1. Watch This Now: Why We Make Music - A Documentary
This 20-minute film will remind you why you started.

Step 2: Leverage the Right Tools:
You don’t need a $10,000 studio to sound professional. You just need smart tools.
- Loopcloud: Stop spending hours digging for sounds. This library has everything you need to craft type beats or anything else.
Imagine spending an hour with these tools and hearing the results. You’ll wonder why you ever thought about quitting.

Step 3: Build Your Momentum
Here’s the secret sauce: finish something every day.
It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t even have to be good. But the act of completing a beat will fuel your confidence.
Here’s a challenge for you:
1. Open your DAW right now.
2. Pick a BPM.
3. Use one sound from Loopcloud
4. Finish a 16-bar loop in 30 minutes.
Upload that beat to YouTube, Audiomack or SoundCloud. Don’t overthink it. Just post. **That’s how careers are built—one finished track at a time.**

Step 4: Plug Into Inspiration Daily
Your environment is everything. If you’re surrounded by negativity, you’re toast.
Fix it by:
- Joining a Skool community like this one
- Find producers like you who are grinding daily check out Producer Grind’s, Buzywork Beatz & Trifreeze Discords

Step 5: Remember Who’s Counting on You
Let’s get real for a second.
Your future self is out there, five years from now, living the life you dream of. They’re looking back at you, this moment, and begging you to push through.
You don’t want to let them down.

So, what’s it going to be?
Are you going to quit and join the sea of “what could have been,” or are you going to take one more step?
Because that next step might just be the one that changes everything.
Go open your DAW and make some noise. Your future is waiting.
