Most streamed guitar player
The other day I hopped onto Google and typed in “most streamed guitarist”. My name was the first one!
Here’s the article that came up talking about it
Oh, and here’s another in case you’re interested.
This got me thinking: WOW!, I've done pretty well for myself as a guitarist. Especially the humble guitar player that I am. I've never toured, I don't consider myself remotely famous, and I’ve never had any sort of “viral” success yet! Just because I may be one of the world’s most streamed guitarists doesn’t mean I set around picking my nose and relaxing with royalties coming in.
I’m still driven. but I only see myself as moderately successful. Still going and going and going….
One of the biggest attributions to my success is my tenacity and setting goals! This leads me to tell you about a goal I set last year and I’m still working toward it.
The goal is to have 1 MILLION monthly listeners on Spotify.
Thus, I advertise, tell people to listen every day, and I’m always on the lookout for some sort of press opportunity that could potentially shoot me to the top and beyond. I also release music all the time, make videos, tell more people to listen, do social posts, schedule sessions, make videos on TikTok and the list can go on for a long time for sure! I’m so driven because I’m doing something I dreamed about when I was younger and first learning to play guitar. I actually wanted to be in the band, Metallica. Seriously! I thought I wanted to be a rock star. I found my place though, and couldn’t be happier… well I would be a bit happier if I had the 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify. HAHAHA!
So if you read this blog post and listened to music guitar music, you’re 1 in a million and I thank you!
