I AM MUSIC- Tay Dizm interview & more


Tay Dizm interview:

TB: What's poppin maan

TD: Ain't nothin, just chillin, tryna get it..

TB: You sent me "Beam Me Up" with Rick Ross. How did that come together?

TD: It was like magic..ya know what i'm sayin. Everything just fell in place. At first i did the hook to "Beam Me Up" . T-Pain wanted to make the song bigger. So Pain redid the hook and he called up Rick Ross to get on the track. Rick Ross loved it and jumped on the track.

TB: Where are you from?

KEY TO MUSIC SUCCESS: Build Your Brand...

   Create music that represents you. That means sticking to what you like instead of what's trendy. Use your music to attract certain listeners who will be loyal to you and your music. Use the tactic "Less is more" when building your brand. Stay in your own lane and don't worry about what the next person is doing.
  Speak with game to get loyal customers. Your mouthpiece is the most powerful tool to attract your customers and it will get you paid nicely.
   Hit the streets hard like a politician to find your loyal base. Go city to city, town to town and create a network that you can build into an empire. Get your product into the hands of people outside of your country too.
   Find an unconventional strategy to sell your product. Sell it (PayPal swiper) by Greyhound, Amtrak, Dark Web, postal service etc. Look to see what works for you.Who knows, you may even find a way of selling that nobody has ever thought of. Start brainstorming and empower yourself in this high tech age. You're looking for longevity instead of popularity..BUILD SMART!!!



Digital Music Success: 

   To make it in today's music world you don't need a record deal. Why there's artists signed to record labels in a digital age is beyond me. I guess they didn't get the memo from tech companies that says " The internet was created as a tool for individuals only so that they can think, act, make money on their own and create their own destiny". Here's some things to make you successful in your craft..

1. Know the music, study the music. Take classes ( not just for a degree only). Learn about writing, composition, AI , chords,notes, wave physics etc.

2. Create music you like or you're inspired by. Don't create music for social media trends, likes, followers etc. Remember, music isn't a popularity contest. If you have money to work with big names that you like..it will help in step 3.

3. Put your music on radio stations, Podcasts, TV etc. Do local shows at dive bars, open mic night, music contests etc. Put your music in the streets before you put it on social media or music sites. If people like you, go to the next step and put it on the internet. If people don't like you, QUIT NOW!!! Don't force something that isn't there. Never fake it till you make it either. Nobody likes a phony.

4. Now that you have a nice buzz in the streets..create a music page. Put up snippets ( never a full song) of your music and make sure it's copywrited. Keep a base of loyal fans who actually listen to your music, go to your shows, listen to radio interviews etc. 

5. Sell your music. Make sure you have a PayPal account and a PayPal swiper for your phone. Selling from your phone is like selling CD's and tapes from the trunk of your car ( You can still sell unlimited CD's & Tapes too). People forget that getting money under the table is more profitable as a hustle than selling units with a label . Hell, Slim Thug had a mansion and millions in the bank without a label when he was in high school... STAY INDEPENDENT!!!

6. STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE!!! The only person you should be competing with in a digital paradigm is yourself. You'll know whether you're on top or not.

FOR ALL YOU ARTISTS WHO ARE MAKING MUSIC FOR SUPERFICIAL REASONS ( a few girls, trinkets, a hot IG account etc) , TAKE DOWN YOUR MUSIC PAGES NOW!!! IT'S TIME TO SINGLE OUT THE WACK FAKE ARTISTS AND SEND THEM BACK TO THEIR PARENTS BASEMENT.. Nuff said


Trevor's Traveler: Gilford,NH /Laconia

   I'm going to officially say this, Gilford,NH will be the new Austin,TX. I also see it becoming a tech/smart hub by 2030. 



Laconia Municipal Airport is a great way for artists to fly into the Lakes Region here in New Hampshire. The Bank Of New Hampshire Pavilion is a major spot for big name acts to come and perform. So has the Whiskey Barrel Music Hall. This area is close to everything.
   You can find great hotels, campgrounds, skiing ,hunting, fishing, golfing, Lake Winnipesaukee cruise, Bike Week in Laconia etc. It's also close to North Conway, Fryeburg & Cornish, Maine etc..



Gilford and Laconia will be the go to spot for music artists. The Abnaki used this area as a major trading and selling area before the European settlers came here. The history and resources are rich in this area. Hopefully we could see Amtrak, a few casino's, and possibly professional sports teams move to this region. Who knows maybe Coachella could move out here. Let's get it poppin baby...
