hi, i'm manuel,

aka Manic One

and like many of you, my journey as a producer didnā€™t start with instant successā€”it took years of hard work, failure, and growth.

I first downloaded FL Studio back in 2017, but it wasnā€™t until 2019 that I really started taking producing seriously.

I wanted to sell beats right away, but I quickly realized my sound wasnā€™t where it needed to be. I struggled with melodies, sound selection, and mixing which made my beats sound generic, and no one wanted to use them.

I tried everythingā€”started multiple YouTube type beat channels, sent countless beat packs to artists (who ghosted me), and invested hours in courses and YouTube tutorials.

But it felt like I was running in circles, trying to figure out everything on my own, wasting years without seeing real progress.

Ā 

The Breakthrough
Finally, in early 2022, things changed. After years of grinding, I figured out how to produce beats that artists actually love to use. One of my beats on YouTube blew up, racking up nearly half a million views. šŸš€

Artists started reaching out to me, and sales notifications were rolling in daily.

By November 2022, I was making more from my beats than my day job so I knew it was time to take the leap and go full-time with music.

Ā 

The Wake-Up Call
But it wasnā€™t all smooth sailing. Just a few months into going full-time, I hit a roadblock.

I burned out from uploading the same type beats every day, and the YouTube algorithm stopped pushing my videos. My sales slowed down, and I learned a tough but important lesson: never rely on algorithms to run your business.

It was a frustrating time, but I knew my priorities

āœ… Make music I love.
āœ… Work with artists I respect.
āœ… Get paid what I deserve.

Ā 

The Turning Point
Those were pretty high expectations, actually, but I knew I could make it work.

I stopped relying on YouTube alone and started building a brand on social media. I focused on working one-on-one with artists, building genuine relationships instead of just being aĀ quick transaction on Beatstars.

Now, Iā€™ve got artists coming back to me for my own unique sound, which helped turn all my priorities into a reality and build a sustainable, long-term business. šŸ“ˆ

Why I Coach
After everything Iā€™ve been through, Iā€™m passionate about helping other producers do the same:Ā Produce amazing beats, build a brand, and work with serious artists.

Iā€™ve spent hours on Zoom calls with artists getting direct feedback on what they're really looking for in a producer, and that's what shaped the techniques I teach today.

They're not just random tips I invented. They're insights I gathered from real conversations with artists who are actively in the market for buying beats and working with producers.

Ā 

The Truth
Making it as a producer isnā€™t about luck or being in the right place at the right time. Itā€™s about creating pro-level beats and using strategies that actually workā€”strategies Iā€™ve personally tested and perfected over time.

Itā€™s not a pipe dreamā€”itā€™s a process. Iā€™m here to guide you through it, just like I did for myself.
