DIY music veteran SoundCloud flounders, lays off 40% of staff

Aynon Yuser

I enjoy posting music that I produced on SoundCloud. It hasn't made me famous or a dime, but I do enjoy it.

Perhaps I havent explored it enough (yet) but I would have enjoyed it if it were more like a social media app, talk directly with other musicians, etc. Also find artists locally or from the surrounding areas, perhaps and option to collaborate with others, etc.

I consider myself a competent artist, likening my work to Alternative Dance of which there is no genre, but there are just too much "kids" with the same boring beats, heavy with autotune and vocal fx basically making the app barely listenable. I've come across a few gems that I've actually enjoyed and "hearted".

I don't even know how to get my songs on any of the charts, and I don't understand exactly how it works. I'm wondering if I'm not the only one who feels this way. I'd like to see some type of tutorial on how to use SC properly.

For now my music just sits there and if I'm lucky I get one play a week. LMAO!
