HIS "TERRIBLE" SONG JUST HIT 500K STREAMS 🫠

Aug 12 • Gems 💎

My student Jake just sent me the most confusing message:

"Bro, my worst song is blowing up and I have no idea why."

This kid dropped a track last month that he called "a piece of shit" when he sent it to me.

Recorded in his bedroom during a mental breakdown. Vocals shaky, production messy, left in this weird

vocal crack when he got emotional.

"Should I even release this? Sounds terrible compared to my other stuff."

I told him drop it anyway. Sometimes your "worst" work is more honest than your "best."

500K streams later, he's eating those words.

Comments are insane:

Meanwhile his "polished" tracks he spent months perfecting? Still at 2K plays each.

Jake accidentally discovered: People don't connect with perfection. They connect with authenticity.

While he tried sounding like a pro, people wanted to hear a real human going through real emotions.

The vulnerability he tried to hide was what made it special.

Most artists get this backwards. Think success = sounding polished/professional/like everyone else.

Autotune the humanity out, wonder why nobody cares.

Want the simple formula for making music that moves people instead of just impressing musicians?

Jake's now getting label DMs about that "terrible" song.

Drop a 💎 if you've been hiding your authentic sound.
