When I first set out to make a living through music, I had no idea how hard it would be. I loved audio, loved the craft, but finding clients was a constant uphill battle. I’d send out emails, wait on referrals, and some months I honestly wondered if I’d ever be able to do this full-time.
That changed when I stumbled onto Fiverr. What started as a small experiment quickly turned into something that gave me the steady flow of work, the experience, and the confidence I had been searching for.
My First Breakthrough
In the early days, I created a simple gig offering mastering. I uploaded a few samples of my work, set my price, and waited. I didn’t expect much. But within a few days, I had my first order — then another, and another.
For the first time, clients were coming to me instead of the other way around. Each project was a chance to learn, to get better, and to connect with artists from all over the world.
Lessons in Consistency
The thing Fiverr really taught me was consistency. Delivering on time, keeping communication clear, and putting the same level of care into every track slowly built trust. And that trust turned into reviews, repeat clients, and new opportunities.
Over the years, those small, steady steps added up. I became a Top Rated Seller, worked with over 5,000 artists, and even had the chance to contribute to projects for Netflix, Showtime, and Timbaland’s label. None of that happened overnight — it was the result of showing up again and again.
More Than Just a Platform
Fiverr gave me the boost I needed when I wasn’t sure how to keep going. It gave me the chance to build not only a career, but also a studio and a life around doing what I love.
Even now, I still see Fiverr as a place that connects me to incredible artists who trust me with their music. And while I’ve expanded beyond it, the foundation it gave me is something I’ll always be grateful for.
What I’ve Learned
-
Start small, stay steady — you don’t need to know everything, you just need to keep moving forward.
-
Treat every client like they matter — because they do. Word travels fast, and one good experience often leads to many more.
-
Be patient with yourself — growth takes time, and sometimes the slow path ends up being the strongest one.
Looking Back
When I think about where I started — worrying if I could make rent, unsure if anyone would ever hear my work — and where I am now, I feel incredibly lucky. Fiverr opened a door that allowed me to build a sustainable path in music, and I don’t take that for granted.
If you’re an artist looking for someone who understands what it’s like to hustle, doubt, and still push through for the love of music, I’d be honored to help. Submit your track, and let’s make it shine together.
