100 MILLION+ VIEWS...AND COUNTING!
Some of the career opportunities for musicians today, didn’t exist a couple of decades ago. Josh Turner is a great example. If you have not heard of him, then unlike over 500,000 others, you do not subscribe to his YouTube channel and are not likely one of the people who have viewed his videos over 100 million times.
Josh Turner made his first YouTube video in 2007 when he was 15 years old, and both the audio and video quality were absolutely terrible! As time passed, in order to keep up with YouTube’s ever-improving quality, Josh had to do something. So he went out and purchased his first ever piece of recording gear in 2009: A Zoom H2.
Three years and many unpopular videos later, Josh used his H2 to record and post “Sultans of Swing” by Dire Straits. And while Josh’s videos had only been averaging around 100 views, the “Sultans of Swing” video received over 90,000 views overnight. As of the end of 2019, that video have been viewed over 9.6 million times. The results began Josh’s trajectory towards making music a career, and YouTube being a big part of it.
