Thanks everyone!

The fact that I started this channel back in 2014 as a fun side project for myself and that it's since grown so large is amazing, but isn't without it's share of conflicted decisions on my part. When I began, I upload purely for myself (what I wanted to upload). Now that so many people follow my channel I'm constantly thinking about what you'd like to hear. Honestly, past videos are all over in the place in terms of theme and genre!

Nearing 250k subscribers is what pushed me towards learning to write and produce music myself. When I began the channel I promoted other people's music to help both them and my channel to grow; I didn't know how to write. Now that I have the attention of so many people I'm really drawn to producing something I think you'd like. That's why I opted for the genre poll!



What I like best, because I've been a drummer for years, is chill music with a catchy beat. So, that's my favorite genre to write now that I've begun to learn! I'd even renamed and restructured the channel to go in-line more with what I knew I wanted to share, because I realize it's just as important to enjoying uploading to my channel as it is to make sure you enjoy what I upload : )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A ton of people participated in the poll. The overwhelming majority voted for world/ethnic cultural music with lofi and chill music coming in second.

That's a result I expected as the channel has hundreds of world music videos already uploaded and that's what subscribers have come to expect. While I'd like to be able to write and provide many different types of music, I realize the channel needs to maintain a congruent theme and viewers may be confused and/or disappointed if I upload several different types of music regularly.

I'm going to take these results into consideration and try to provide something that's both appealing for you and aligned with the channel's theme. Maybe that mean's combining the two genres and creating some world music lofi tracks! We'll see!

I'd started a separate channel that features my original tracks, exclusively, if you're interested in listening to them. In the music production realm I go by Wuji and, if you're interested, you can check out that channel here:

Thanks so much for following my channel and for making it so fulfilling for me!

P.S. I get hundreds of comments a day on Youtube, which makes it impossible to respond to all of them. If you'd like to make sure I can see your message to me please message me on my artist Instagram page (www.instagram.com/wujibeats/). It's much much easier to respond to messages there.

My Song of Storms chill cover has been submitted to Spotify! The full song should be available in a few days (at the latest) but you can preview the track here:

I'll be showcasing my latest track, Lost Woods, at 12pm EST tomorrow! It's a chill cover of the song by the same name from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, one of my favorite games. Check it out whether you're a Zelda fan like I am or if you just like chill beats : )

If you like it, check out my artist channel (bit.ly/WujiBeats) where I upload all of my own music. It's a relatively new channel, and I need to build it up so people will know I write music in addition to creating mixes : D

This upload is a test to see if you (our subscribers) would enjoy a playlist-based format that makes it easier to connect with song's artists. Let us know what you think!
