Ready for Your Final Music Release of 2024?

Hey,

I can’t believe we’re already in the last quarter of the year. Feels like I was just setting up my 12-week year for Q1, and now I’m entering my winter arc ! If you’re a music artist or industry professional, this is your time to close out 2024 strong and set the stage for 2025 to be your best year yet.

Why the Final Stretch of 2024 Matters

Whether you’ve been consistently releasing music or you’re gearing up for that last big drop before the year ends, the final quarter is critical. It’s your chance to:

Boost fan engagement before the year wraps up
Monetize your content with strategic offers and releases
Build momentum so you hit 2025 with a dedicated and growing fanbase

And guess what? The groundwork you lay now will have a massive impact on your career moving forward.

5 Steps to Close Out 2024 Strong

**1. Build Your Fanbase with Intention**
Your fans aren’t just numbers—they’re the community that’s going to support you long-term. Focus on engaging them authentically. Reply to comments, host a live Q&A, and start meaningful conversations that make your fans feel seen and appreciated.
**2. Nail Your Music Release & Rollout**
If you’re planning a release before the year ends, make it count! Whether it’s a single or a full project, have a clear strategy in place. This includes teasers, content leading up to the drop, and leveraging your fanbase to spread the word.
**3. Elevate Your Branding & Identity**
What do you want people to remember you for? As we enter the winter season, this is the perfect time to audit your brand and make sure your identity is shining through—across social media, performances, and even your music.
**4. Monetize Your Audience**
In 2024, diversification is key. Whether it’s digital products, merchandise, or fan support platforms, think about how you can offer value to your audience while securing additional income streams. This is how you stay sustainable.
**5. Set Your 2025 Vision Now**
The year’s not over yet, but now’s the time to reflect on your wins and misses. How do you want to start 2025? What do you want to achieve? The clarity you gain now will make it easier to set yourself up for success come January.

Why Branding is Key to Success in the Music Industry

As an artist, your brand isn’t just a logo or a color scheme—it’s your identity. It’s what sets you apart from every other artist out there. At No Conformity, we believe that your brand should reflect your unique sound, message, and personality, helping you build a deep connection with your audience.

So why is branding so important?

Recognition: A strong brand makes you instantly recognizable, whether it’s your name, visuals, or even the tone of your posts. This consistency creates trust and credibility with your audience.
Emotional Connection: Fans want more than just great music—they want to feel like they know you. Your brand identity is a way to communicate who you are, what you stand for, and why they should follow you.
Longevity: In an industry that’s constantly changing, artists with a strong brand are more likely to stand the test of time. By creating a lasting impression, you give your career more staying power.

Why Building a Fan Base is Critical

For any artist, building a dedicated fan base is the key to long-term success. Here’s why focusing on your fans should be a top priority:

Support System: Your fans will support you not only through music streams but also by attending shows, buying merch, and spreading the word about you. They are your ambassadors!
Direct Feedback: Engaging with your fans allows you to receive instant feedback, helping you understand what resonates with your audience and how to evolve.
Monetization Opportunities: A loyal fan base is more likely to purchase your music, merch, and attend your events. This directly translates into more revenue streams for you as an artist.

Tip: Creating regular and meaningful content, engaging on social media, and offering exclusive experiences are just some of the ways to build and maintain your fan base.

“Crafting Your Brand “ - New Artist Planning Workbook !

In this e-workbook, we'll dive deep into the art of crafting your brand story, defining your brand identity, and mastering the art of authentic communication.

Now, I know what you're thinking—branding? Isn't that just for big corporations and fancy logos? Well, think again. As music artists, branding is everything. It's what sets you apart from the crowd, attracts your ideal fans, and ultimately, helps you make a living doing what you love.

But here's the thing: you can't build a strong brand without knowing who you are as an artist. That's where this e-workbook comes in. We're going to help you dig deep, uncover your unique identity, and harness the power of authentic storytelling to make a genuine connection with your audience.

So, grab your favorite beverage, find a cozy spot to curl up, and let's get started. Your music career journey starts here. Let's do this!

Singled Out: Releasing Singles vs. Albums in the Digital Age

In a world where our attention spans are shorter than that one-hit wonder's career, musicians and managers alike face the million-dollar question: to drop singles like they're hot potatoes or to go old-school with a full-blown album? Let's tune into this melodious debate.

The Single Life: Swipe Right for Instant Gratification

Singles are the speed dating of the music industry. You put out your best pick-up line and hope it's catchy enough to get you a second date (read: another stream). Here's why singles might just be your musical soulmate:

Instant Buzz: Drop a single and watch the hype train leave the station. Choo-choo, baby!
Playlist Prowess: Singles love to mingle on playlists. They're the social butterflies of Spotify and Apple Music.
Budget-Friendly Beats: Producing one song at a time is kinder to your wallet than splurging on a full album. Ka-ching!

Album Affairs: Commitment Is Not Dead

Albums are the grand romances of yesteryears, the "Notebook" of music releases. They tell a story, take you on a journey, and sometimes, they even come with a booklet. Old-fashioned? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.

Narrative Nuance: Albums let you dive deep into an artist's psyche, unlike singles, which are more like reading the book summary on Wikipedia.
Fan Fidelity: Albums can strengthen the bond with die-hard fans who crave more than just a three-minute fling.
Artistic Integrity: There's something about saying, "I released an album," that still carries weight, like owning a vinyl collection or knowing what a B-side is.

The Remix: A Harmonious Blend?

Perhaps the real chart-topper is a mixtape of both strategies. Release a few singles to test the waters and build anticipation, then drop the album like it's the director's cut of your favorite movie – with bonus tracks!

Tease 'Em: Singles can act as tantalizing teasers for the main event, keeping fans on their toes like a never-ending drum solo.
Flexibility & Flow: By alternating between singles and albums, you keep everyone guessing – and listening.

So, whether you're all about that single life or ready to settle down with an album, remember: in the end, it's all about making sweet, sweet music. And isn't that what we're all here for? Now, go forth and serenade the digital age with your strategic symphonies!

**JT's Debut Album "City Cinderella" Drops This Friday!** 🏙️✨

Ladies and gentlemen, clear your calendars for 7/19 because JT is about to drop her debut album "City Cinderella"! As one half of the (now former?) iconic rap duo City Girls, JT is ready to step into her own spotlight after the group's sudden disbandment last October. Their last project, "Raw," had fans scratching their heads with its seemingly rushed release and lack of promo. Caresha recently opened up in a Complex interview, saying, "Naturally when she does her own thing it works for her, and when I do my own thing it works for me, but when we get together as a group it just wasn't connecting."
But now, JT is back and better than ever with singles like "Okay" and "No Barz," and a killer feature on Doechii's hit "Alter Ego." She’s been owning late-night performances and music videos, and we can't wait to see her shine on this new album. Her album release is followed by a tour starting 8/20, and there's even a documentary titled "City Cinderella" to give fans an inside look at her journey.
I'm super excited for JT because she missed out when the City Girls crossed over into the mainstream. Now, with the budget and popularity she has, it's her time to shine, and I am so here for it! GO JT!!

**Mentorship Magic: Dextiny’s Story** ✨

Remember Dextiny? She had a mentorship session with me, went viral in 24 hours, and now she's rocking almost 10K followers and 1.8M likes. We also worked together on a Coco Jones cover to turn her audience into superfans, and now she’s prepping to drop some original tracks. If that’s not proof of the value of mentorship, I don’t know what is!

🎶 BET Awards Recap: A Night of Tributes, Triumphs, and Trailblazing Performances 🌟

**Usher's Tribute: A Celebration Led by Queens**

Hey Music Enthusiasts!
Still reeling from the excitement of this past Sunday's BET Awards? Us too! Let's relive the night that had us all talking, cheering, and even shedding a tear or two.
The evening was electrified by a tribute to the legendary Usher, led by an incredible lineup of black female powerhouses. Big Latto, Coco Jones, Chloe Bailey, Keke Palmer, Marsha Ambrosius, Tinashe, Teyana Taylor, and Victoria Monet took the stage by storm, delivering performances that were nothing short of spectacular. Even Queen Bey herself, Beyoncé, couldn't help but share the moment on her story, showing love and support for the stunning homage to Usher. Now that's what we call a royal seal of approval!

Victoria Monet: The Show-Stealer

**Speaking of Victoria Monet,**

she didn't just perform—she owned the night. Her live rendition of "Alright" was a masterclass in performance art, leaving everyone speechless. Plus, when Victoria won Video of the Year, she gracefully shared the spotlight with her choreographer, Sean Bankhead, who's behind many of the music videos we adore. Teamwork makes the dream work!

And let's not forget Coco Jones in the audience, whose expression was the epitome of us all—jaw-dropped and utterly captivated. 😂

**Normani's Absence: What Could Have Been**

A notable absence from the festivities was Normani, sidelined by an injury. We can't help but wonder how amazing it would have been to see her improvise and perform despite the setback. Fans, wouldn't you have loved to witness her resilience and dedication to her craft? It surely would have been a memorable moment to promote her album.

Fresh Beats: New Music Alert!

Sasha Keable & DESTIN CONRAD's 'AUCTION': Sasha's profoundly rich, velvety tones not only captivate but enchant, drawing listeners into a lush soundscape perfectly paired with DESTIN CONRAD's equally soothing and evocative timbre. The duo's chemistry is palpable both in the audio and the visual aspects of the release. While the pair also stun in the video with their compelling presence, the same-sex love story they portray is especially poignant and timely, resonating deeply with the culmination of Pride month. Echoing themes of love and acceptance, the single's release is further accentuated by its seductive, minimalist yet cinematically charged video that sparks meaningful conversation. The video doesn't just complement the track; it enhances the storytelling, allowing viewers to experience the narrative on a more personal level. It brims with originality and substance, gripping you from beginning to end with its artistic integrity and powerful messaging.

**Meg's Chart-Topping Album**: Meg hit number one on Apple Music, and while "Hiss" is a certified banger, I'm curious about your thoughts on other tracks. Personally, I feel like Meg is a phenomenal rapper, yet she's still on her journey to crafting those iconic albums and songs that will resonate for generations. Also, did you notice the album cover change? I must admit, I was quite fond of the butterfly aesthetics.
As we bid farewell to Pride Month, we celebrate the diversity and inclusivity that music brings into our lives. It's a powerful reminder of how melodies can unite us all under the banner of love.

Love and Surprises: Ashanti & Nelly Rekindle Romance 💕

Nelly, Ashanti, Fat Joe, Lorena

The air was thick with nostalgia and sweet melodies when **Ashanti** and **Nelly** surprised fans with a heartwarming display of affection that has everyone talking. During a Verzuz battle, Nelly made his way across the stage to embrace Ashanti, stirring up old romantic flames. Little did we know, this hug was the prelude to something even more beautiful.
From Embrace to Engagement... and Secret Wedding? Yes, you read that right! Sources buzz with rumors that the couple may have not only re-engaged but also tied the knot in secret “allegedly”. While they keep us guessing, one thing is certain – these two are giving us major #CoupleGoals!
Surprise Baby Shower Adds to the Joy
As if a renewed love wasn't enough to celebrate, a surprise baby shower added an extra layer of happiness to their story. It was not just a celebration of new life but a testament to the joy and community that music brings into our lives. We’re overjoyed for Ashanti and Nelly and can’t wait to see what the future holds for them. Here's to new beginnings and the sweet symphony of love! 🎶💍👶
That's a wrap on this newsletter! From unforgettable tributes to surprising celebrations, the BET Awards were a testament to the power and beauty of Black artistry. Now, tell us — what were *your* favorite moments?

Until next time, keep your playlists fresh and your hearts full.

Stay tuned for more updates and keep the vibes high.

Cheers,

What’s Cooking, Good Looking? It’s Newsletter O’Clock

Get ready to jazz up your inbox with updates and industry insights that'll make your neurons do the Cha-Cha Slide. 🕺🕺🕺

No Conformity is here to report your weekly news! Music, Pop Culture, and Social Media have been interesting in the month of June, to say the least. Between fans BEGGING Normani and her team to give them more content celebrating the release of her highly anticipated debut album, Kendrick “freeing the slaves” with his Juneteenth pop out, and Victoria Monet popping out on a Tuesday morning with the SURPRISE VIDEO OF THE YEAR, the tea is overflowing!
But before we get into that, we have some exciting tea of our own to spill!

No Conformity Celebrates: Jasmine Just Joined the Gang!

Jasmine Tucker

Break out the confetti cannons! We've nabbed Jasmine Tucker to elevate our Client Services game. She's officially the first hire at No Conformity, joining as our Head of Client Services! This is step uno in our master plan to become THE place everyone wants to work at. Go on, send her some love!
While you’re at it… slide this job description to anyone you know trying to get their start in the music industry and wants some hands-on experience:
**Wanted - Social Media Intern Who Can Out-Tweet a Canary**
We're scouting for our next masterpiece, a social media intern who's got more game than a console. If you know someone who memes well with others and considers hashtags a second language, point 'em our way!

'Hello, Is It Tea You're Looking For?'

Okay, now BACK TO THE TEA 🫖

After years of anticipation, did you guys think Normani’s album lived up to the hype? Personally, it gagged me how Victoria dropped her “Alright” music video that same week and the internet was talking about that more than Little Miss Pop Star’s DEBUT ALBUM. The crazy thing is the music is BEAUTIFUL, amazing production… Tantrums ft. James Blake has a CHOKE HOLD ON ME! I mean, there’s still time to do a Bankhead choreo video for Candypaint or a new track. As we can see from his work on the “Alright” video, QUALITY MUSIC VIDEOS ARE BACK BAYBEE! With the success of “Wild Side,” I thought that would have been a no-brainer for this album release, but I digress…. Anyway...

Album Releases That Slap

Tems, Aryaa Star, Kaytranada, Normani, and Kehlani have already dropped albums, and Meg Thee Stallion is closing out the month with her album release this Friday. WITH ALL THAT NEW MUSIC, it’s hard to digest it all, but BABY, WE ARE FULL & wanna know what y'all think?! Do y'all feel like Kaytranada’s album is getting the spotlight it deserves? Cause that’s the theme track to my summer! Personally, I can’t keep Kehlani’s album off repeat… she showcases her eclectic taste and party side, and we’re HERE FOR IT!

POP OUT WITH THE NEWS!!!

🎤 Kendrick Lamar Drops Jaws on Juneteenth

Kendrick said, "Imma make it look sexy," and boy, did he deliver! Popping out on Juneteenth, Kung Fu Kenny turned history into his-story. That performance is now etched in Black culture and pop music like your ex's initials in a tree trunk. Unforgettable. Someone said that was the best Juneteenth since the first one, and WHERE IS THE LIE?!
Good luck and Godspeed as we head into BET weekend. May the party odds be ever in your favor!
Stay tuned for more updates and keep the vibes high. Until next time, keep breaking boundaries and making waves with No Conformity!
Cheers,
The No Conformity Team

Today, we're delving into the art of strategic career development and discovering how to craft a solid blueprint for success on your journey.

Defining Clear Goals for Success:

In the ever-evolving entertainment industry, a clear vision and achievable goals are your guiding stars. Think of them as your roadmap, steering you toward your dreams. As an artist, I've come to understand that goal-setting is the backbone of progress. Without tangible and attainable goals, it's like sailing without a compass. We'll explore why defining clear goals is a crucial step in shaping our path to success.

Crafting Actionable Plans:

Goals are the seeds, but actionable plans make them blossom. Organizational prowess has become my superpower; it's my secret sauce for success. Planning isn't just about staying organized, it's about empowerment. When we have a plan, we're in control, not just waiting for external factors to dictate our path. It's about creating a roadmap that's driven by your aspirations. Let's ensure that you're the captain of your ship, no matter the tides.

3 Strategic Artist Development Tips:

On this week's episode of "The Showbiz Mindset," we dove deep into strategic artist development, and I promised you some screenshots to go along with my tips. Here they are:

1️⃣ Collaborate closely with artists to identify actionable goals, construct strategic project plans, and set clear objectives and milestones that resonate with their aspirations.

2️⃣ Time is of the essence: Keep a watchful eye on project timelines and deadlines. Address potential delays promptly. Here's a snapshot of my company revamp campaign timeline using a Google Sheets hack.

3️⃣ Performance Tracking: Gauge project performance through metrics, analyze data, and deliver regular progress reports. By measuring project success, you pave the way for future growth. Check out the No Conformity Content Calendar, a snapshot of tracking tasks and measuring progress!

***Fun Fact: Google Sheets made this timeline for me using the columns “PreLaunch Phase | Start Date | End Date”

Implementing these tips means a strategic evolution in your artist development journey. A strong collaboration with artists, crystal-clear objectives, and adherence to timelines are the magic ingredients. Tracking performance metrics offers insights that fuel your future endeavors.

Harnessing Resources for Career Growth:

In the entertainment labyrinth, you're not alone. Building a network, seeking mentorship, and fostering collaborations are your power moves. Mentorship has played a pivotal role in my journey, and surrounding yourself with like-minded souls who understand the industry's rhythm is invaluable. Let's unravel the art of leveraging resources and forming meaningful connections that open doors to boundless opportunities.

Here's a snippet from my journey: a retreat called "No Reception." It's where I connected with Gordan Dillard, EVP of Artist Relations at Capitol Records. Our shared experiences became a cornerstone, making work trips and collaborations seamless. Who knew an ATV adventure in the desert would lead to building lasting bonds in the industry? 🏜️🚀

The captivating world of entertainment is more than just glitz and glamour; it's a symphony of creativity and innovation that constantly evolves. As we step into the realm of artistic expression, guided by the principles of artist management and the celebration of uniqueness, we find ourselves on a journey of self-discovery and growth.

Unveiling the Role of Artist Managers

Behind the curtain of every successful artist lies a team of unsung heroes – artist managers. These individuals navigate the complex landscape of the entertainment industry, acting as compasses that guide artists toward their destined success. Think of them as conductors of an orchestra, each playing a unique instrument that harmonizes into a masterpiece. Whether they're negotiating contracts, building brand identities, or envisioning creative directions, artist managers are pivotal in helping artists shine their brightest on the grand stage.

Embracing Your Unique Melody

Just as artist managers guide artists to their unique paths, it's essential for artists to embrace their individuality. Our artistic journey is not about conforming to trends; it's about discovering what sets us apart. Unlocking our inner superpowers and experimenting with our sounds and styles allows us to create authentic universes that resonate deeply with our audiences. Embracing our uniqueness is a key that unlocks the door to genuine connections and lasting impact.

This transformation isn't merely a change of aesthetics; it's a celebration of authenticity, paying homage to the past while embarking on a journey into the future. This evolution reflects the dynamic nature of the industry and the need to adapt and innovate.

Embrace Your Showbiz Mindset

As we navigate the entertainment universe, we're reminded that success isn't solely about fame and recognition. It's about embracing our showbiz mindset, understanding the importance of artist management, and honoring our uniqueness. Just as artist managers support artists in realizing their potential, we must also take charge of our creative journey, sculpting our masterpiece and leaving an indelible mark on the world.

So, whether you're an artist, a creative professional, or simply someone who appreciates the magic of entertainment, remember that the spotlight is on you. As the symphony of creativity plays on, let's embrace our uniqueness, celebrate our individuality, and create harmonious masterpieces that resonate across time.

In the dynamic world of showbiz, every note matters, and every artist has the potential to shape the narrative. As the curtain falls on this chapter, remember that your story is waiting to be told, your uniqueness is waiting to be celebrated, and your journey is waiting to unfold.

Today, we're offering you a backstage pass to No Conformity 101, a glimpse behind the scenes of the spirited force driving this captivating series.

Before we lift the veil on the inner workings of No Conformity, let's rewind the reels a bit. I've journeyed through the dynamic rhythms of showbiz, collaborating with iconic names like Wiz Khalifa and the brilliant minds at Taylor Gang. My odyssey continued at Maverick, where I had the privilege to work alongside artists who would go on to carve their names in the industry's hall of fame - Doja Cat, Gallant, Arin Ray, VanJess - each a note in the symphony of my inspiring story.

But what truly ignited the blaze within me was the arrival of my son, a spark that ignited the embers of entrepreneurship. From that spark, No Conformity emerged, a powerhouse designed to empower artists, celebrate their authenticity, and challenge conventions. This isn't just a company; it's a movement, a testament to the belief that within every artist lies a unique story waiting to be told, a distinctive voice yearning to be heard.

No Conformity's heartbeat reverberates through the very walls of the Hyyer Creative Studio in LA, a haven where creativity doesn't just bloom, it flourishes. The vibrant atmosphere is a testament to the synergy between Neither, the co-CEO of Hyyer Creative, and me. This space, where ideas come to life, was also the birthplace of my podcast "pickHERupper," a resonating chord that harmonizes seamlessly with the ethos of The Showbiz Mindset.

And so, fellow travelers in the world of creativity, I beckon you to this space, a sanctuary for artists, creative professionals, and those curious about the enigmatic realm of entertainment. The stage is set for unfiltered conversations, paradigm-shifting insights, and unabridged advice. Together, we're about to unveil the secrets that pulse through the veins of the showbiz mindset.

Remember, this isn't a solo journey; it's a symphony of voices. Share your thoughts, drop your questions, and engage in dialogues that ripple with meaning. As we embark on this odyssey, be prepared for the expedition ahead. Don't forget to subscribe and allow yourself to be swept away by captivating content that promises to empower you in the world of showbiz.
