3 ways to grow on social media as a musician from a guy who does this for a living. From working with 100s of artists there are patterns that emerge, the biggest pitfall is becoming an influencer instead of an artists by chasing followers and views. A good experiment is to look at massive accounts that are doing influencer style creation and check on their monthly listener count - it’s not a perfect system but it’s a clear window into artist vs influencer fame #musicmarketing #adviceformusicians

If you’re doing these 5 things, your growth is stuck (even if you’re working hard): 1. You’re building an audience for “you” before you’ve built demand for your music.
If your content is identity-first (skits, personality, lifestyle) before your songs are in rotation, you create a fanbase that follows… and then does not convert when you post music. Big followers, small listeners. 2. Your discovery content isn’t music-first.
TikTok, Reels, and Shorts are not for “existing fans.” They are for strangers. If the post doesn’t deliver the song fast, clearly, and repeatedly, you’ll work hard and still get ignored. 3. You’re trying to grow the “middle” of the funnel while the first impression is weak.
You’re tweaking Spotify, branding, aesthetics, and profiles… but your first 3 seconds are not stopping anyone. Fix the tip of the spear and the whole system improves. 4. You keep adding more tasks instead of cutting down to what you can repeat daily.
The plan that works for two weeks doesn’t count. Growth comes from the version you can sustain every day through the year. Eliminate first. Then stack. 5. You’re still in consumer mode instead of producer mode.
If you’re mostly scrolling, overthinking, and “learning,” you’re not getting reps. Use platforms as a research tool, ship, iterate, and let the algorithm teach you what hits.
If you are looking to build a personal brand, be known for multiple things, get brand deals because of your past accolades and socials presence, this isn’t for you. If you want to get more people to actually care when you post your songs, to connect with people with your art, before anything else, and build upon that connection later in second touch spaces, resulting in a tight knit fan base orbiting your music , instead of orbiting you, listen up
2025… what can I say - this year has been unbelievable. A charting record, 1.5 million streams, a sellout debut album, too many moments to count. Thank YOU for making this the biggest and best year yet, this is nothing without connecting with you crazy desert rock loving gig going riff addicts, so here’s to you, happy new year from the Nuns xxx 🥳🎉 big love @saviourmusicuk for having our backs
