Hello everyone, hope the week is treating you well as always. Here's to another week of productivity and staying disciplined in our respective fields of expertise.
In terms of what's new around here at UnPS, we are especially excited to be gearing up for "Y3AR 11" - the autobiographical story of yourman3VAN and his time of 11 years in and out of the music industry. If you're curious as to what the rise of a yet-to-be-commercially-successful recording artist looks like, this is the series for you. You can check out the trailer here: https://youtu.be/puyTW-x0LVs?si=w3pB7wtnrXYxy2-X
Our weekly video is also live now, and this week we're discussing how to get fans as an artist. We look at 4 different entry points you can use as doors of connection to your potential fans, and strategies for how to implement them. You can check the video out here: https://youtu.be/lfW5ksnsiV8
This week, the "yourman3VAN" team is onto the newest single of the year with "Chrihilistian" - arguably one of the first-ever Christian darkwave songs. This one will be interesting to see how it performs online, so give it a chance and see if it fits into your playlists: https://yourman3van.supertape.site/music/chrihilistian
Our quote of the week comes from Dhirubhai Ambani, businessman and founder of Reliance Industries -
“If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.”
I challenge you to really think about what your dream is this week. There's still a week left in January for you to pivot to doing what you really love. I also encourage you to evaluate the quality of your dream too. There's a massive difference between dreaming to consume versus to create. There's nothing wrong with dreaming to be able to own a house or car you'd like, but if you're a reader and follower of UNPROMOTED SOUNDS, you're likely aspiring for something bigger than this. Think of the scale of your dream as well - how "big" do you want to do it? Consumption-based dreams will inevitably lead you to a nihilistic viewpoint when looking at the big picture of your life, while a creation-based dream will feed you for years to come. Think about these things as you head into the next week, and I hope you see you back here again in seven days time.
