🎯 The Invisible Barrier That Stops Most Composers From Growing
Most composers don’t struggle because they’re not good enough.They struggle because they lose track of conversations, forget to follow up, or never build a real system around their creative career.
We’ve all been there — spending hours on writing, mixing, or polishing tracks, and then realizing we never actually sent them anywhere.Or we send one email and hope it leads somewhere... but never follow up.
Here’s something I’ve learned over the years:If you want your music career to grow, you need as much structure in your outreach as you have in your composing.
A few simple tips that can make a massive difference:
  • Create a contact list. Even a simple spreadsheet with who you talked to, when, and what about is a game-changer.
  • Set follow-up reminders. Most deals and collaborations happen after the second or third message.
  • Systemize your outreach. Write short, repeatable message templates that you can personalize fast.
  • Track your opportunities. Know which companies you’ve reached out to, which ones replied, and which ones you want to contact next month.
  • Keep it human. Don’t turn into a marketer — just be consistent, professional, and helpful.
The truth is, once you start treating your composing like a business, things shift dramatically.
You suddenly know who to contact, what to send, and when to follow up — without burning out or losing your creative flow.
That’s actually one of the reasons I’ve been working on tools that make this whole process easier, so composers can focus on what they do best: writing great music.
But for now — I’d love to hear from you:👉 What’s the part of the “business side” that frustrates you most?
Emails? Organization? Finding new clients?
Let’s talk about it below — maybe I can share a few practical ways to make it easier.
