hi, i'm manuel,

aka Manic One

and like many of you, my journey as a producer didn’t start with instant success—it took years of hard work, failure, and growth.

I first downloaded FL Studio back in 2017, but it wasn’t until 2019 that I really started taking producing seriously.

I wanted to sell beats right away, but I quickly realized my sound wasn’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 everything—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.

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. 🚀

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.

The Wake-Up Call
But it wasn’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

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

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 a quick transaction on Beatstars.

Now, I’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. 📈

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

I’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.

The Truth
Making it as a producer isn’t about luck or being in the right place at the right time. It’s about creating pro-level beats and using strategies that actually work—strategies I’ve personally tested and perfected over time.

It’s not a pipe dream—it’s a process. I’m here to guide you through it, just like I did for myself.
