    How to Get Millions of Views on Music Content ft. Citizen the Artist #265

    Citizen the Artist has generated over 1 billion views across social media by pairing his music with some of the most intentional, cinematic, and scroll-stopping short-form videos on the internet. But behind the massive numbers is a process built on hooks, pacing, psychology, quality control, and a deep understanding of what makes people keep watching. In this episode, we break down Citizen’s entire approach to viral music content, from his “mill-liker” checklist and first 3-second rule to his high-level editing process, VFX, ideation, and commitment to making every post feel impossible to ignore. We also get into the bigger question every artist should care about: once you have the attention, how do you turn views into listeners, fans, money, and a real career?

    71 Minutes of Tough Love For Indie Artists ft. Jane Lee #263

    Jane Lee does not do fake motivation. On this episode of the One More Time Podcast, we sit down with artist coach and content creator Jane Lee, also known as Indie Mama, for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had in a minute. This is a real reality check for independent artists who feel stuck and need the truth more than another “keep going” speech. We get into why so many artists stay stuck, the excuses that keep people from posting and growing, why perfectionism is often just procrastination in disguise, why artists are scared to be seen, and what it really takes to build momentum in today’s music industry.

    The New “Management” Model that Built Brent Faiyaz’s 8-Figure Business ft. Ty Baisden #262

    Today we welcome Ty Baisden, Brent Faiyaz’s "manager", but more importantly his business partner. We break down why the traditional 20% manager model often fails artists today, and what a better setup can look like when you are trying to build a real business. Ty explains the difference between a manager and an operator, why most artists should actually be looking for a co-founder/partner type of character to build the business while they focus on the music, and how equity partnerships (done the right way) set all of it up for success.

    The Hitmaking Mindset Behind 18 Hot 100 #1s ft. Sean Garrett “The Pen” #259

    Sean Garrett aka “The Pen” is one of the most legendary hitmakers of the modern era. He’s credited with 18 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles in just 7 years, and Billboard recently ranked him #23 on its Greatest Songwriters of the 21st Century list. In this episode, Sean breaks down the art of hitmaking (and why it’s not the same thing as songwriting). We discuss what all hit records have in common, why interacting with humans is the secret sauce for relatability, and the real mindset shift most independent artists need to make if they want their music to cut through.
