How I Went from a broke Artist to a Full-time, 6-Figure music Career by Licensing to Brands.

I remember sitting in my car, right after one of the best shows of my life, and breaking down in tears.

I had just come off stage from an incredible performance, the kind every artist dreams of, but there I was, unable to face another day of living a double life...

I was signed to a label, had fans, and millions of streams, but the reality? I was broke, scared, and felt like a failure.

I started out just like you—grinding, hustling, doing whatever it took to get my music heard. From performing all over...bars, churches, conferences, skate parks to birthday parties, I put my heart and soul into my music.

I even got signed to a Christian hip-hop label, toured the country, and inspired thousands. But behind the scenes I was barely making ends meet.

Paycheck to paycheck, working a full-time job to support my passion, I felt like an imposter. I had the stats, the followers, and the streams, but I was lost, anxious, and burdened by the pressure of providing for my family while trying to keep my music career alive.

It wasn’t until I stumbled upon something unexpected in 2014...

I randomly got paid for my first music placement with ESPN! This made me realize there was another way, a smarter way, to make real money from my music.

 
It got me thinking, what if I could get paid to make music for brands WITHOUT having to rely on social media hype or endless touring that left me exhausted and still struggling?

I wanted control over my career, my income, and my life. So I decided to leave the label and do just that. 

Spoiler alert: It was the best decision I EVER made for my music career and here's why...

If you’re anything like me, you’ve already tried the traditional route—touring, labels, merch, endless studio sessions. And maybe, like me, you’ve found that despite all your hard work, it’s just not adding up. You’ve got responsibilities now—a family to support, bills to pay, a stable job to keep.

Music is still your passion, but it’s no longer enough to just make great music. You need it to make sense financially. You’re serious about finding a way to make your music work for you, not the other way around. 

You want to make music full-time, from home, but you don’t want to risk everything for a dream that feels out of reach. 

That’s where sync licensing comes in.

Sync licensing is the process of getting your music placed in TV shows, movies, video games, ads, and it’s one of the most reliable ways to earn consistent income from your music.

This is the path that finally allowed me to take control of my music career and finally allowed me to quit my job and go full-time music!

After that first placement, I dove headfirst into learning everything I could about this side of the industry.

After years of research, trying and tons of trail and error, I figured out how make the kind of music brands were willing to pay 4-5 figures for consistently.

Since then, I’ve had my music featured with brands like Fortnite, the NBA, Netflix, Disney, and many others. I’ve become a multiple six-figure earner in this space.

Sync licensing changed everything for me.

It wasn't long after that my other artist buddies who were struggling just like I had been, started asking how I did it.

So I began teaching my friends and then they started landing placements too! 

But I knew there were so many more artists out there who were passionate about their music but didn’t know how to turn that passion into a sustainable, full-time career.

I realized that if I could help others, they wouldn’t have to go through the same hardships and uncertainties that I did.
