LESSON: Why You Should Post Your Spotify Wrapped (Even If You Have Mixed Feelings About Streaming) Every year, Spotify Wrapped brings a wave of emotions for artists: excitement, frustration, pride, comparison, confusion… all of it. And I get it. Streaming can feel like a necessary evil. The payouts aren’t great, the system isn’t perfect, and it’s easy to feel discouraged if your numbers aren’t where you want them to be. Streaming services are one of the most powerful promotional tools we have in today’s music industry. Not because of the royalties… but because of the reach. My Personal Goal This Year I set out to get my annual streams back over the 1 million mark.I didn’t quite hit it, but I came close. And here’s what matters more than the number itself: Streaming has pushed my music into the ears of millions of new listeners who never would’ve found me otherwise. Even though album royalties have dropped dramatically for many artists (myself included), streaming has opened doors in every other area of my business: - More fans discovering my solo project - More support at shows - More opportunities - More visibility across platforms - More momentum for every new release That’s the real win. Why Your Wrapped Matters (Even If You Don’t Love Spotify) Think of Spotify Wrapped as: - A snapshot of your growth - A marketing asset - A fan engagement tool - A confidence booster - A milestone worth celebrating You don’t need millions of streams to show off your achievements. Even 1 listener in a random country across the world is incredible. That’s someone who chose your music out of 100 million songs. That’s real impact. Why You Should Post Yours Posting your Wrapped isn’t bragging. It’s storytelling. It shows: - Your consistency - Your dedication - Your global reach - Your progress - Your resilience - Your authenticity as an artist Fans love seeing behind the curtain. They love rooting for you. And every year you post your Wrapped, you build your narrative. You show growth. You show commitment. You show that you’re in this for the long game.

Hey everyone, Life can be a real B#*ch sometimes. There are big ups and big downs, and many of you are feeling those waves right now. Huge wins, breakthroughs, excitement, and at the same time unexpected setbacks, heavy emotions, or pressure pulling at you from every direction. With the holidays upon us, everything tends to get amplified. Emotions run higher, finances can feel tight, schedules get packed, and the energy of the people around us can add to the load we are already carrying. But these ups and downs are a sign that you are alive, growing, and moving forward. Nobody leveling up has a smooth, flat road. The people you admire, the artists you look up to, the creators you think “have it all together,” they deal with the exact same swings. I'm speaking from the same ups and downs here in my studios.. Life is not easy sometimes... The one thing you can do is keep showing up. Feel the chaos, feel the pressure, and then use it as fuel instead of a stop sign. So if you’re in a low, breathe in and breathe out, then zoom out, and remember your story is still being written. If you’re in a high, ride that wave and build on it. And if you’re in the middle of both, which most of us are, stay focused on the craft, your habits, your growth, and the mission you are building. You’re stronger than you think, and you’re doing better than you realize. Bring clarity, heart, and momentum to this week! You got this!

What's ur go-to Sunday activity? Producing? Church? Cooking? Netflix & chill? Gym? Pizza, beer & football?

Hey everyone - Happy Sunday! Post a photo of what you're working on: your studio, your song, or your instrument. Maybe some yard work or a new dish in the kitchen. Post a photo! Here I am, in a little cute hotel in Luxembourg, on a day off, recalibrating and doing some laptop work

Hey everyone! Happy to share I have a new single out today. It’s a wobbly dubstep tune called Dubplate. It has samples that talk a bit about dubplates and the culture behind them. https://linktr.ee/wilsunbass
