We all get our down days…this can especially be true for the aspiring music producer. Have your creative juices stopped flowing? Feel like you’ve hit a wall with your marketing efforts? We’ve put together a list of FIRE YouTubers offering music production support that can help keep YOU inspired.
1. Adam Ivy – Music marketing Guru
Adam Ivy is like that morning, strong black coffee after a heavy night out – his no nonsense, fast-paced attitude will hit you in the face but will almost instantly give you the energy you need to get back on your grind (pun intended).
Adam often talks of his rags to riches story in his videos, and he really comes across as someone who genuinely believes that if he can do it, you can too. His videos include pure motivational tips for producers, equipment reviews and his speciality: music marketing. In fact, he’s even coined his own doctrine – Magnetic Music Marketing.
2. Curtiss King TV – #Curspiration…
Curtiss King’s YouTubing career has become so successful that he has now stopped selling beats online, only to focus his attention on supporting and developing the careers of his subscribers. You might regard him as a YouTubing veteran having uploaded over 1500 videos in over 12 years!
Just like Adam, Curtiss has videos to motivate, but also provides more technical support in showing his beat-making process via tutorials. His humorous personality is a plus, giving that much needed comic relief if you’re feeling blue.

- His advice on a particular issue as an online music producer; and,
- A fly-on-the-wall demonstration of him creating his latest beat!
