How Many Songs Should You Write Before Releasing A Single, Album Or Mixtape?

To be completely honest I would say that you should have written and even recorded a MINIMUM of 30 songs before you even consider releasing anything. And honestly I would say that number should be as high as 100 songs.

That sounds extreme but to be honest, it's really not. After you hit that marker (that you can accomplish in a matter of 6 months) you will have developed the following

1) Your own voice - and itll only grow more as you make more music

2) Your own sound that will also continue developing

3) the ability to write at least decent choruses

Those skills I just mentioned are NECESSARY if you want to start promoting your music and gaining fans. And you know I am right.
With that much practice under your belt, you can comfortably know that you are ready to release songs and spend time promoting it.
If any of the songs were amazing in that first 100... feel free to release that! Or even re record it so it's even better.

I know some people are going to say 'OMG 100 SONGS' and not even believe that is feasible or the right answer... but... how can you expect to start dropping songs after you have only written and recorded 15 or 20? and I mean FINISHED SONGS... You have to build your mic confidence, find your delivery, voice and style or you are going to sound super bland and just like everyone else with less than 100 songs under their belt.

How many songs have I written? I have written over 5,000 songs. My style is polished many times over.

This is why I've had record deals, I chart on iTunes and many other things.

But all of this took YEARS. If I go back and listen to my music from when I was 15 recording myself in my grandmas basement... I laugh and wonder how I was ever that terrible.

It's all about praacticing and growing everyday.

You can reach 100 songs written and recorded in a matter of 6 months as I said before.

There are exceptions to this rule and while your mom always told you that you were special, you probably arent in this case haha. No offense. I wasn't then either.

People like Fetty Wap and Trinidad james were great examples of people who recorded their first project and BAM just blew up. At least it's told that they didn't have any other music prior.

But you can also look at people like Future and hear how he sounded even 10 years ago and it's not even the same person. It's just... bland and unoriginal. Now he is polished.

Even 2 Chainz took till his mid 30s to blow up.
It's just that practice.

Go write and record 100 songs.

Chances are you don't even have a microphone yet and thats ok. That is when you're writing the songs.

Get the $30 microphone I recommend and start recording those songs. You are going to be amazed when you realize how much you have grown after those 100 songs are recorded. I mean it'll blow your mind.
