motivation was jumping on the course was
and joining us was for at the time
obviously I just had that track signed I
was just wanting to progress but I
didn't really know kind of where to go
from from there especially obviously I
know that you're a wizard with like
social media media side of things as
well that was always something that I
really struggled for I needed a lot more
like kind of help and advice on uh I
think I'd seen I don't know if I'd seen
an ad or I was already following you I'm
not sure I know a couple of people
mentioned like you in passing as well
some other producers that I'd met I did
a it's like a one day course at fabric
they had some talks there maybe it was a
GU yeah yeah I was oh that sick I that
was such a good day that was yeah I
remember that that was good that was
good fun yeah so I think I saw you there
obviously loved you what you were
talking about and you seem very
knowledgeable so I've yeah fenced a bit
of that and uh sent you a message and
then yeah the rest is uh history got
stuck into the course and yeah what a
massive help it's been what a massive
help even just like the the little tools
and little websites that you can use to
just you know things such as you know
like Clipper or something like that for
getting your audio and videos and you
all those little things and inot and
yeah you're just a wizard and knowing
the right apps to use it's going to save
me massive amounts of time and help me
kind of focus on the production side of
things so yeah I really appreciate that
yeah I was going to say what's the
biggest things you got out of the course
and what stuff have you implemented as
well social media like content
scheduling things I was very like just I
just post as and when I I would go like
you know I I wouldn't even think it'
been that long and I could go four or
five months and not post anything and
just not realize I just wasn't
concentrating on social media at all it
wasn't that I didn't have content I was
just I don't know what it was I wasn't
in that routine and you kind of
explaining it in you know easy layman's
terms and you know things like getting a
Content calendar set up and planning
like three months in advance for example
of like what content you're going to
post I on that kind of stuff like really
really helpful like I said the little
apps that you kind of suggested as well
to help us use that was um helpful as
well so by putting all those little bits
together yeah just it improved my
content creation like tenfold I would
say and the organization for that as
well it improved that's really good I'm
I'm so happy like the content now you're
put out now is amazing I absolutely love
it and it's absolutely killer and the
results are just showing for itself and
I hope they are getting more than more
than I you sort of see from just looking
at it I hope they are expanding for you
as well oh yeah it's been yeah it's been
a revolution since I started doing that
that was main focus like end of December
I was like New Year's coming 2023 let's
absolutely smash it this year uh let's
get the preparation I did my you know my
three month scheduling I got all my
ideas together and then boom just
started cracking on then as soon as like
it got to first of January and started
making the content and then as you were
finishing the course you had the ketam
Mind EP which I actually premiered the
lead track I oh no I helped you get the
answer on techn Bible that's right the
one yeah so that yeah that out toward I
think it was oh end of July it was I
remember cuz I was looking at this
morning thinking that was at the end of
the course and then did you kind of
apply stuff that to make that release do
better because you'd after doing that
course basically definitely 100% 100% uh
because obviously I knew the release
date so then I just started planning
properly for that release whereas love
house I think it was just the day of I
made a post that was that do you know
what I
mean follow all if I'm completely honest
at the time whereas with Kat mind I had
a bit more of a build towards it towards
the release and then obviously pushed it
afterward got in contact with the right
playlist like Spotify playlist that
you'd recommended uh pushing it through
like SoundCloud obviously technno Bible
did a premiere on it uh blank did a
premiere on it as well so I just kind of
had a few more extra contacts that I
could use at that point as well that's
really cool that's really cool I like
that's you can see the like I was just
looking at the streams on Soundcloud the
difference between like the first
tracker had a few hundred and that one
had like 6,000 congrats that's that's
amazing than you yeah I think um John
Summit put it on a playlist on beatport
and then that had a that that had like a
significant boost on the sales on
beatport I know that um CU I think at
first there was there's a remix on there
from ants who's now going by antiago
he's flying yeah that was always kind of
like outperforming it and then as soon
as John Summit put on that playlist it
just kind of shot past
it when music it's good thing these days
yeah yeah yeah yeah that's
amazing and finally can you just of sum
up working how working with us was and
and the course and would you recommend
it to others yeah of course 100%
recommend it to others like the amount
of content that I got from yourself like
I think I think what the people don't
realize about this course is it's not
just a six week course or however long
of course it is Graham does these chats
that are that are weekly chats with
everyone that's been on the course and
he's been running them practically every
week since I started the course two
years ago you don't have to go every
week you can kind of pop in every time
you know whenever you're free to do so
and then if you've got any questions
about anything that's happening at that
time you know whether it's regarding ads
or you got a release coming up and you
know gra got any suggestions then it's
just perfect for that side of thing
you've got the networking thing as well
of all the other people that are
attending that the course that can only
be helpful uh but yeah the day-to-day
stuff that like he's helped me with from
this course like I say with the
organizing my content little apps that
have been key to like my progression has
been unreal honestly it kind of give me
the kick up the backside that I needed
regarding content creation and yeah I
