No one listens to my music

Submitted by zaa-legened t3_114kkqm in Music

Hey guys❤️ I'm a fingerstyle guitarist and I'm facing a problem with myself lately. I do have 2 albums that are available across every music store/platforms but no one listens to them regularly. To get things clearer, I barely have 2 monthly listeners on Spotify 🥲. I only shared my music a couple of times and never tried to do a proper marketing as I don't want to be famous but I want my music to be heard. I know that this is contradicting but idk I don't have the enough energy to focus on social media, all I want is to play, record and publish whenever I want without having the stresses of the internet.
It's frustrating, as I know I am good, I've won multiple competitions with my songs and albums.

Unfortunately marketing yourself is just part of the deal. I get not wanting to be famous, but if you want people to hear your music you have to let them know it exists. Make some tik tok videos or something. Look for facebook groups that cater to what you do. Post some videos on here.

This part of the deal is frustrating! that to be heard I have to be active on social media, post a lot and either have a team work for me or just do it all by myself while it's more than a hobby but not a career which I can depend on.

Getting streams theses days is more about marketing than actually having talent unfortunately

I'd like to give it a listen if you could share your artist name.

Maybe make some public playlists on the various platforms with other fingerpickers (John Fahey, Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, etc) and toss your songs in there?

Let's suppose I would want to hear what you do: how am I supposed to find you among several millions of artist/bands? And you missed another chance by not enclosing any links to your post :(

Unfortunately, yeah you're right but it's time consuming and energy waster while I don't have neither of them that much to spend. I can't express how I want things to go but yet I can't do anything but to be active on social media 🥲
