I really like the song. What I can advise you it’s to add a bit of afro to your sound .
Add some spice to your music so you could conquer Africa which is a big music industry

Thank you so much Nicholas! I will listen to your music suggestions! I have to admit I don’t know them yet and it’s always an adventure discovering new music to me :slight_smile: I just have pitched the song in this moment to the playlist you suggested! we also have sent the song to some radios, which aired it from UK to Brazil and from Moldavia to Israel. It was an incredible feeling to hear our song in a radio show for the first time :smiley:
we also sent it to playlist curators and it entered some playlists, also some influencers used it as background music for their stories. we also have our own playlist with a small number of followers were you can find some of our influences, friends and new musicians we discovered: Spotify
we are working on the next songs but as we do it in our spare time there is no date yet for the releases :slight_smile:
thanks again and very best from Venice!!!

yeah! It was really amazing! we don’t have that great numbers so it is difficult for someone who doesn’t already know about us to find us although there is someone who found us through our instagram, but we contacted curators and influencers which isn’t always easy and we reached some :slight_smile: we also made large use of artist hub pro in our promos and had quite a bit of presaves too.
We make music since a while but lockdown gave us the chance to go deeper in the production and afterwards we discovered how to release a song and when we thought ok, it’s done, a whole new world, let’s call it promotion haha, opened up. I can naturally speak just for us but I think there are lot’s of other emerging musicians that don’t expect how big and challenging the adventure of releasing a song is! and we are glad we chose iMusician because we were always helped also in our newbie doubts on really basic questions, starting from artwork to other details, like finding our song in streaming services that are not available here and so on, so big thanks and compliments to the whole team!!

thanks Nicholas, the video is reallyyy helpful, wish I had seen it earlier,and yes, in the beginning it is a strange feeling when your song is rejected but some playlist curators reject for the same reasons others accept. It’s not about the music itself in the first place but about finding the right match and the tips are exactly what you will go to find out after reaaally a lot of trial and error :smile:.
so I have to admit it is not really frustrating (but we are just at the beginning haha) but more stimulating to go deeper in the issue of finding the right playlist, stimulating also the listening, you will listen to songs differently when you listen to them thinking about what fits and what doesn’t, more than what do i like and what don’t I like. :innocent: and when something like this at min 26:30 happens everything would be good again anyway: Mixcloud :blush:

wow, yeah, that would be amazing! for now we are focused on the venetian playground to make music (everyone we make music with is somehow related to it haha) but I wouldn’t exclude that at all for the future when we are a little more experienced :blush:

hi Simon, haha, it should mean that we (the andi and meicheng project and all participating musicians) are somehow based or related to Venice although from all over the world, so we meet, play and record in Venice, at least for now, and it’s a little bit early for us to expand for what is related to our let’s call it ā€œinfrastructureā€ it’s quite a bit challangig already haha. I’m not sure if I could explain my thought :blush:
