MySphera is a freemium Spotify playlisting service that’s been around since 2018. The service aims to pair curators with artists. Artists can submit for free through a curator contact form or run a paid campaign where MySphera will pitch your song to the “best-fit” curators. While you can submit your tracks for free, there is a limit on the number of curators with contact forms available. There are around a thousand more curators that are only available via a paid campaign.

BAD MUSIC MADE FAST IS STILL BAD MUSIC

It’s everyone’s dream to support themselves financially from their art. Exposure doesn’t pay the bills! For many independent artists out there, having consistent income from one’s art is pretty rare. We all know that streaming services aren’t paying enough per stream and earning back the money you spent on production, mixing & mastering, artwork, visuals, and social media content is basically impossible.

The modern-day music producer has more responsibilities than before. A BIG reason for this is the pace of technology advancement and the power of tools we have access to today. This is why many roles in the music production sphere have combined. For example, a recording engineer (someone who solely focuses on the recording process) might also be handling the production for this song. Another example is a producer who is also the artist (this is the most common) - not only does this person need to understand music production, they also need to have an understanding of social media, growing a following, and all the other tasks an artist has to deal with.

With the rise of home studios (aka bedroom studios), there are hundreds of applications, tools, and programs aimed to make the process of music production to be as painless as possible. Here are the ones I recommend you check out.
