Full Truth Score
“"After a decade of chasing algorithms, I'm done. The comparison game, the person before the work. That's not for me anymore." Brother, you LEFT social media six months ago and you're acting like you escaped a cult. Meanwhile, your entire website is a glorified Spotify playlist with album covers.”
Het Lichtpuntje
“At least you're not calling yourself a "multi-hyphenate creative" in your bio.”
Gevonden Problemen (5)
1. Quitting Social Media Is Not a Value Proposition
Bewijs
"In my work is where you find me now." — This is not the profound artist statement you think it is; it's what literally every artist does.
Aanbevolen Oplossing
Pick your 10 BEST tracks and feature those prominently with context — tell us WHY they matter, what they're about, who they're for. The wall of 64 tracks dilutes your impact.
2. 64 Tracks With Many Labeled as 'Demo' Undermines Credibility
Bewijs
"These days I just make things. Music, apps, games, art, whatever feels right." — So you're a jack of all trades with no clear positioning or focus, got it.
Aanbevolen Oplossing
Add actual proof: streaming numbers, testimonials, press quotes, playlist placements, SOMETHING that shows people connect with your work beyond you releasing it.
3. 'Does Whatever He Likes' Is Not Positioning
Bewijs
"All under Lifthill Studio, my creative playground" — A one-man bedroom operation with a studio name is peak 2020s personal branding.
Aanbevolen Oplossing
Ditch the "I quit social media" narrative as your main identity — it's been six months. Instead, lead with what makes your MUSIC unique, your sound, your themes, your story IN the songs.
4. Six Months Off Social Media Framed as a Spiritual Journey
Bewijs
"Since August 2025 I've stepped back from the noise" — it's been SIX MONTHS and you're centering your entire identity around quitting Instagram like it's a spiritual journey.
Aanbevolen Oplossing
Stop releasing everything as a demo. If it's on Spotify, it's released. Commit to your work or keep it private.
5. Zero Social Proof Anywhere on the Page
Bewijs
Zero social proof: no listener counts, no press quotes, no testimonials, no context for why these 64 tracks matter — just blind faith that people will click through to Spotify.
Aanbevolen Oplossing
Add a clear bio: What genre? What themes? Who are your influences? What's your actual story? "Does whatever he likes" tells me nothing and makes it impossible to connect.
