We left quarantine to do a Producergrind interview with Ant Chamberlain! It was worth it cause he dropped a lot of gems for music producers selling beats online. He told us his come up story and how he went from getting barely any views on his beats to in about a year making $20,000 per month on Beatstars selling beats. He started out trying to get placements and actually got a few including one with YFN Lucci and Offset called ‘Boss Life’ which we showed the making of a few years ago. We talked about him joining the Navy and being at sea with no internet and how that helped him perfect his craft.
We also talked about everything going on with the virus this past week and what music producers can expect if we go into a 2020 recession and financial crisis. We hope everyone is staying safe! This is one of our best ones of the year so far
