To produce and spread your music, start by defining your unique style and identity. Experiment with genres, develop a personal brand, and refine your vocal and songwriting skills through consistent practice. Record your work, starting with basic setups before upgrading to professional studios.
Build your presence online by sharing content on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Post songs, behind-the-scenes clips, and personal stories to connect authentically with your audience. Use music distribution services like DistroKid or TuneCore to upload your tracks to Spotify and Apple Music.
Collaborate with other musicians, producers, and songwriters to grow creatively and expand your reach. Attend open mics, music events, and industry networking opportunities to establish connections. Perform live at local venues or host virtual concerts to engage audiences.
Invest in promotions by running social media ads and creating interactive campaigns, like fan challenges or hashtags. Build a website as a central hub for your music and updates.
Finally, seek guidance from mentors or professionals in the music industry, and stay consistent with your efforts. Focus on building a strong community of supporters and be patient as you grow your craft and audience. Your passion, paired with strategy, will help your music spread.

Hi Evelynne, It's wonderful that you feel such a passion for music! I would encourage you to continue writing your songs and singing. Production will take some technical skills. Perhaps look online at tutorials on music production. You might also check into possible classes where you will get first hand experience about equipment used in a studio. As with songwriting, singing or playing an instrument, follow your creative intuition. Continue to listen to all kinds of genres of music and let it inspire you!
Wishing you all the best! God Bless you!

Hi Evelynne,
As a musician and producer, I would encourage you to focus on music production. Producing music will give you valuable skills and experience that will help you as an artist while exposing you to other artists and people in the music industry. It is also a more in-demand career path that you could use to support yourself while you continue to pursue your passion for singing and/or song writing.
The two can be complimentary, but music production is a more stable job path that will be easier to break into than becoming a professional singer. Plus, even if you do make it as a singer, having the ability to produce your own music will give you more creative control, and eliminate the need to pay another producer (or record label) to create your music, which will entitle you to a larger share of royalties.
I hope this helps! All the best,
-John
