No New Stock Music in 2020?

Let me explain why I've barely uploaded any new stock music in 2020. Mostly it's because of COVID, moving, and other music projects. They have taken up a lot of bandwidth.

But also, as a result of the thrust of this year, my heart just hasn't been in it.

Despite barely doing any new work, I've still earned around $800 this year based on tracks that I previously recorded and licensed!

So the moral of the story is twofold. First making music - even stock music - is supposed to be joyful. If it's not helping you out, it's totally ok to step back from it for a time. Second, if you start a music licensing side hustle (while you're feeling good), it can continue to deliver passives income for those times when you can't work on it.

Of course, I'm not done with stock music by any means! I plan on uploading a bunch of new stuff in the next couple of months and continuing with it!

From a Frustrated Producer in a Ragtag Bedroom Studio to Major Placements on TV Earning $1,000s!

My name is Evan, and I've been making music since around 3rd grade. I'm from San Diego, California, but I've lived in Washington, DC for the last 20 years.

After 3 grueling years of grad school, though I had put aside serious attempts at making music. I found myself spending my days doing work that was dreadfully uncreative, with a ton of student student loan debt.

Which made me feel like my favorite parts of myself were withering.

But I didn't know what to do about it.

Being in my early 30s with tons of student loan debt, in a world where there is "no money in music," I felt like my youthful dreams of trying to "make it big" were dead. Like my music would remain unheard in my head and hard drive.

Frustrated by my inability to get my music heard, I started researching solutions.

Instead, I wanted to find a way where I could focus on making the music and let someone else deal with promoting it.

I realized the music licensing was the perfect opportunity for a solo artist like me to get my music heard, without having to do any promotion. I just need to focus on improving what I could control - my songwriting and my production skills.

While I still have a full-time day job, I have created systems that have allowed me to produce dozens of songs a year in my spare time.

My songs have been on Netflix, TV shows like the 90 Day Fiance, an award-winning indie film, and NPR’s “All Thing Considered.” They've also been streamed millions of times.

In addition to being a music producer, I am passionate about teaching people how they can make professional-sounding music and earn money licensing it, all in their spare time.

Thousands of musicians, like yourself, have trusted me to guide their musical journey. My YouTube videos have been watched nearly a million times. And my story has been in Forbes, Side Hustle Nation, and the Side Hustle School.
