I have a roster of artists I'm building up and they all have different sounds. At the moment while we're building relationships with local producers they've all been leasing their beats from producers that have their beats on YouTube.
I know this is not a good strategy long-term, but I still like it for proof of concept to show what they're capable of & what sound their going for in order to attract the type of producers they want to work with that fit that sound.
I do see a lot of them typically go to the same 2 or 3 producers on YouTube. Any tips on how we can build that relationship with those producers off YouTube? Of course I've messaged and showed interest, willing to pay and even sent over the songs to let them hear how it's sounding. No real luck so far.
Also, how can I go out and find producers outside of YouTube for my artists to work with?
