Releasing Hit Music (Without a Record Label) with TheFatRat

#60: Today's guest is Christian Büttner A.K.A. TheFatRat, who is a producer, DJ, and musician based mainly out of Germany. Chris has millions of listeners from all over the world, and has accumulated billions of plays so far. He did this without a major record label, all while giving his music away for free.    In this episode, we talk about how he started in the world of classical music and transitioned into electronic music much later. We also go into how he taught himself electric music production skills, why he releases basically all of his music for free and lets people use his music, why he steers artists away from signing with major labels, and much more.    Find TheFatRat here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa_UMppcMsHIzb5LDx1u9zQ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3OKg7YbOIatODzkRIbLJR4 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefatratofficial/   And if you're interested in making music and sound for games, I have a newsletter and free courses that will get you started, and help you find paying work in games.
