A lot of artists and producers want to know how to make a living with music, and Benn Jordan (AKA The Flashbulb) has done exactly that. He has 145,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, 70,000 subscribers on YouTube, has been signed, toured, made music for TV & Film and also made music for commercials. In this video I got to pick his brain on how he did it and what advice he'd give other people who want to do it to.

Battz grew to 287k TikTok followers, 1,100 YouTube subscribers, 6,100 Instagram followers and 1,400 Spotify followers 100% DIY in the past year (and only really taking it seriously for half that). On top of that he's cranking out 1 single per week going forward along with a music video, and for a while he was shooting all of his music videos on a 3 year old iPhone.

I find his incredible work ethic and DIY attitude inspiring so I though it would be cool to hear his thought process and how he pulled all this off.
