Hey all, Here's my latest blog. It is in the Blog section, as it's more of a blog than a lesson. https://www.skool.com/elevate-your-craft/classroom/ec854f5d?md=9ee96a7666bc41f0b867842f1a773051 The world of music is changing, seemingly faster than it's ever changed before. This is all due to streaming and, of course, the bulldog in the room, AI. It honestly feels like music could become a lost art form in just a few years. As AI music companies like Suno continue to grow, they're slowly ripping apart the fabric of musicianship, producing, songwriting, singing, and everything that goes into making music. The only thing that's not really on AI's radar yet is live music. There's still hope for that. Suno is growing faster than Spotify did, and that's pretty grim. I've predicted for a while now that people eventually won't know the difference between real music and AI music, and most won't even care. It also looks like Suno will likely launch its own AI streaming service, finally giving Spotify a competitor, but not a good or ethical one. The craft of making music is becoming easier and easier, and in many cases AI is replacing the need to learn the craft at all. But the grind of becoming someone, building a career, and actually making money is still very much on the table. People still want to connect with people. There's still hope to become a DJ. There's still hope to become a musician who gets on stage and performs. To get gigs, play festivals, build a real fanbase, grow an audience, sell merch, sell tickets, and create experiences that people want to be part of. At the end of the day, becoming famous has always been about far more than just making music. But making the music was the foundation. It was the hard part. It was the craft. It was the art. Maybe that's what's changing. The barrier to creating songs is disappearing, but the barrier to building a career isn't.

Hey everyone! Couple crazy announcements today, last night I sold out my biggest headline in Denver yet at Larimer Lounge (270 tickets sold) and just today I released my track "ok." on Jauz's label Bite This! I'm super stoked for all of this and these two events are becoming my foothold into touring as an artist. It would mean the world to me if you guys could check out the song and give it a like/playlist ad if you like it! Here's the link to it on all platforms, I hope you enjoy! https://hypeddit.com/chandlerkline/okbitethis

Hey everyone, The secret to making amazing music is Not the Daw. Not your plugins. Not your samples. Not even your talent on your instrument. It's your EAR. Training your ear is the most important thing you can possibly do. The more music you make, listen to, create, play, mix, and learn, you are developing your ears. Here's a website that can help with this https://www.soundgym.co/
