On to the questions!

Q: B Natural Studios said, “Love your channel, but the end titles were a fail. Great channel.”

A: Thanks, I'm usually late on the end cards. I'm a busy dude. Maybe I should ask Garret to do them

Q: Luigi Fresh said, “I appreciate this a lot...I was just about to go with Songtrust... but I already distribute thru TuneCore.”

A: Saves you a step!

Q: LaynoProd said, “im dropping a single on the first friday of December, RIP me lol, i got a good rollout plan tho with visual content to follow, hopefully it stands out among the noise.”

A: Maybe, just remember people mostly listen to classic christmas songs. It's not to late to rethink that plan. If not, I'm releasing one too simply because I want to.

Q: N.A.T. asked, “What? Distrokid suggests to use Songtrust? why do they have that “youtube money” option then?”

A: Songtrust gives you the option to use YouTube Content ID through them...its not a required feature to use. Pick what works for you

Q: Fifi Finance said, “Good luck with your journey! Keep going for it and it will come together. I started my channel in the last lockdown. Hard work!😀”

A: Thank you. I started this channel when youtube started...then my second channel in 2017. Now their both combined like captain planet

Q: Lakshya asked, “Is ending a name with 'fy' good?”

A: Sure? does it stand up to the test...a google search and easy for people to remember

Lakshya: @WordPlay T. Jay Well...what do you think..can you give me your opinion

T. Jay: @Lakshya I don't have enough information to give you an opinion...what's the name?

Lakshya: @WordPlay T. Jay Hmm...still thinking of some : maybe- Ignify, Dexify?

Q: The American Indie asked, “did they change their requirements to only people that have youtube partner?”

A: No you just have to go through your distributor now. You don't have to be a partner. You do have to have 3 releases though.

Q: Lit BoxTv said, “Allowing anyone to administer your publishing is giving them a great opportunity to steal from you without you even knowing.”

A: I always recommend to do it yourself...if you cant then audit the people that do every 6 months to 1 year.

Q: hotspotcollecting said, “I love to make a song with you i will be do pop music.”

A: I'm down if it sounds good. Email me wptj@otmmg.com

Q: Charlie Harrison asked, “my band member placed HIS name on bmi as the writer of all MY music I WROTE for two albums I WORTE THE WORDS AND MUSIC... for like 50% of the songs on 2 albums. He has my name nowhere on it but the copyright on the Gov website, where HE has HIS name as a part writer WITH me on songs I WROTE AND MADE 100%

Like Lennon is on the song "yesterday" when that was 100% McCartney. What can I do?”

A: So I'm assuming this guy won't fix it? Then you will have to force the fix, but have documentation of your work and proof of your arrangements. https://www.bmi.com/creators/updateworks <-- Use this link for more info
