How TikTok Has Revolutionized Music
Over the years, we’ve seen music grow more and more into our culture and as a result, we’ve grown to identify with music and their respective artists. It seems that there is a genre for any person and those songs that we identify with become a vital part of our life. Wherever we go, there’s someone jamming out to their favorite songs, while on their way to wherever it is that they have to go. There’s another person working-out with their favorite “hype-up” playlist blasting in their ear. There’s even people rocking out to music at a hangout session. This is something that has been a part of our lives for a period of time. Music has been in the palm of our hands. This is evident with music streaming services such as Spotify or Apple Music taking over this field for years. We have seen people take music with them everywhere that they go, however, with an ensuing global pandemic, everyday life changed for everyone. This is also evident with popular music.

SHOULD I PRODUCE MORE THAN ONE GENRE OF MUSIC?
Music producers, how many of you create or produce more than one genre of music? Through the years I've produced Hip Hop music, R&B, and Electronic Dance Music (Deep House, EDM remixes). How and when do you come to the decision to expand and try your hand at other genres? What makes you internally want to produce other genres? I know quite a few music producers who have produced a particular genre so long they feel "pigeon whole" or they feeling like they can't change because their brand has been built already around their main genre. Let's explore the question of should you produce more than one genre of music .

STILL SPENDING MONEY ON MUSIC PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT OR SOFTWARE, WHY?
Music production can be a beautiful thing. The creative process alone is breath taking. To create a completely finished product , where you started from nothing but a blank canvas is amazing, and that's what we do. In this process it's natural to grow , meaning you learn new things, you expand your music production knowledge and you need new tools in the process. With that being said, do you tend to buy more music production gear, or buy more software than you actually need? It's not a uncommon thing, I know several music producers that were to the point of hoarding equipment and software to so call "advance their production", but it didn't work.

How You Can Support Your Favorite Indie Artist in 2021
I think we can all agree that calling 2020 a rough year would be the understatement of the century. The world was turned upside down people lost their jobs, loved ones, and even their hope. The entertainment industry took a huge hit and was wiped to the floor and KOed. It is probably going to take years for a full recovering to live events and entertainment and this includes music. Artists really learned to struggle this past year. Our goal for 2021 as a label is to help indie artists, who are new to the music industry, begin to make their mark in this messed up industry. I wanted to start this year by giving you three ways you can help your favorite local artist or indie artists that you love. The first two are completely free for you to do and extremely simple and won’t take you much time at all. The third one won’t necessarily cost you any extra money either since most people already pay for a streaming service and there are even free versions you can get to listen to music. Here is Roses as Humans list of ways to help artists:

Spotify plays: Why you really need them as an amateur musician
Why should I upload my music to digital distribution platforms? We are experiencing a total change in how we acquire and listen to music. A transformation similar to the popularization of the gramophone in the first half of the 20th century, when many artists thought that their world was disappearing and they were denied the opportunity to continue practicing their profession. If the music was bought packaged, who would listen to it live? What would all the musicians who did not have access to the recording do?
