Someone asked me how I went from producing "X" on the Black Panther album to "You're Welcome" on Disney's Moana Soundtrack (03:38). Long story short, it was years of nurturing relationships and getting to know the right people. The game has changed so much in the las 10-15 years (00:24). The dream of signing a deal is old. Now, it's all about pushing everything yourself on social media, collaborating, expanding your network, being patient and never quitting. Don't worry about what other people are doing. The money and the opportunities will come as long as you put in the work (07:52).

The biggest and most important thing you can have when you're an independent artist/producer is LEVERAGE. That means growing a fan base, creating a buzz around your music, engaging with your followers. The best way to do that is by being authentic, being yourself. That combined with understanding how to use different platforms for certain things. What to post on Instagram vs Facebook vs Twitter, etc. I had another awesome Pass the Aux session in LA and really got into explaining how these things work, how it can help you to be successful.

I was one of the finalist judges, alongside JustBlaze and Mannie Fresh, for Battle of the Beatmakers in Toronto this past weekend. Got to see so many talented people that are trying to pursue their passion and make it their career. In an interview, they asked if I feel successful enough to retire. My answer is why? There's so much more to do, more music to be made and so many more ways I want to express myself. I wake up everyday and feel like I'm just starting out. And it's important for everyone to always be a student of the game and always learning.

Zaytoven and Usher have collaborated once again in order to create a classic project. This vlog was created by @lowkeytim.
