"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.
At least you're not calling yourself a "multi-hyphenate creative" in your bio.
Quitting Social Media Is Not a Value Proposition
“"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.”
The fix 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.
64 Tracks With Many Labeled as 'Demo' Undermines Credibility
“"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.”
The fix Add actual proof: streaming numbers, testimonials, press quotes, playlist placements, SOMETHING that shows people connect with your work beyond you releasing it.
'Does Whatever He Likes' Is Not Positioning
“"All under Lifthill Studio, my creative playground" — A one-man bedroom operation with a studio name is peak 2020s personal branding.”
The fix 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.
Six Months Off Social Media Framed as a Spiritual Journey
“"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.”
The fix Stop releasing everything as a demo. If it's on Spotify, it's released. Commit to your work or keep it private.
Zero Social Proof Anywhere on the Page
“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.”
The fix 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.
