You're not too old

Thank you for all your kind messages yesterday about Instagram doing Instagram things, really appreciate it. If you've had the same message feel free to reach out and I'll always help you try and get it back, it's a stressful time. Today I want to go through something different. I read a comment that said "when you hit 30, it's time to stop music and get a proper career" And it really hit me... As I think that may have been true a decade ago when there were more gatekeepers, but I think it's never been less true than in 2024. And here's why... You don’t dictate timing. Life doesn’t always play out as you expect. You could find "success" later in life because that’s how it’s going to play out for you. We don't all find the best period of our life is when we're 19 years old!! How crazy does that sound when you think about it. Creativity doesn't age. Your creativity can grow with time, you have more life experience and depth to your authentic self. Again, you can't expect to know everything and be able to translate your emotions when you're younger, it's just not realistic.  It's never too late to achieve your dreams. Everyone always wants to shut you down and when you’ve hit 30, it’s "downhill from here". That just isn’t true. Right now, you can be "successful" at any age. Audiences aren’t just young. Audiences don’t turn 25 and stop listening to music, you can have an audience that is right for you at any age. Passion fuels success. If you love music, this will shine through at any age. Music is about emotion and connection and this will only deepen over time. This is ending next week but I'm currently running my biggest offer I've ever ran. This is what you get... - A HUGE 50% off the Academy (I kinda hate to do this because it really devalues what is thousands of dollars of value) And all of these bonuses engineered to save you time (yes all of them!) - The Release Checklist 2.0 (the checklist we use with our label clients) - 100 Social Media Content Hooks (that we use every day to generate millions of views in my agency) - The Music Press Database - The Radio Database - The A&R Database - The Press Release Template - The Communication Templates (how to talk to fans on release day etc) - The Recording Agreement Template - The Performance Agreement Template - The Sync Licensing Agreement Template - The Music Entrepreneur Calendar (I get all of our clients on this, sounds unfun but it's the best thing you'll do for your career!) Now I could be one of those people that's like "this is valued at 5 MILLION DOLLARS AND YOU CAN GET IT TODAY FOR $99.50" But I'm not going to do that 😎 You can see the amount of value for yourself. So the next question is.... "Damian, how do I get this?"
