Music is one of the most promising yet competitive industries in the modern era, especially as the digital age has created platforms that allow aspiring artists to build a name for themselves. With new artists emerging daily, it can be difficult for people to break out in the music scene. However, while other artists are drowned out in the waves, singer and songwriter T $WIM has found himself floating without much trouble.
Hailing from Connecticut, T $WIM began his journey into the music industry a little less than a year ago, releasing his track “Back Back” on SoundCloud. The song immediately put the spotlight on him, generating over 20,000 streams. The artist only grew his brand from there, adding more songs, with each one garnering between ten to fifty thousand streams apiece. His latest release, “T $WIM x Wasn’t Planned,” went beyond his usual success, climbing to over 50,000 streams a month after its release on the market.
Before pursuing his music career, the rising artist had been floundering around a quiet town that didn’t have much going on for the locals. Despite its quaint charm, T $WIM strived for greatness, believing that he could go beyond with his music. While he knew that he had the potential, it wasn’t until the aspiring artist met renowned blogger and SayCheese TV owner Shawn Cotton that T $WIM realized just how far he could go.
“Meeting Shawn impacted me because nobody from Connecticut, where I was from at the time, ever met him,” he said, “That was something that motivated me as an artist to keep going because I know people wanted to meet him just like I did but didn’t have the opportunity.”
Since then, T $WIM has dispelled any lingering imposter syndrome, ascending into music significance. He currently has over 36,400 followers on Instagram keeping track of updates on his music, with his SoundCloud reaching over 1,300 followers. Although the numbers pale in comparison to other established names, T $WIM’s career proves to be off to a good start, showing others that his future is set for greatness.
As an artist, T $WIM is known in the community as an individual with boundless positive energy, spreading his optimism and high spirits through his music. T $WIM believes that human connection is just as important as the number of streams one can see on the screen. Beyond the stage, he takes the time to network with other artists, connecting with them and seeking out collaborations. T $WIM is driven to create music to help others realize their greatest enemy is themselves, rallying listeners to battle against impostor syndrome.
Although T $WIM has accumulated moderate success so far, he is determined to create a lasting impact in the music industry. By delivering high-quality music with his unmistakable talent, the rising artist hopes to use his journey as a blueprint for other up-and-coming musicians to strive for authenticity and embrace their uniqueness.
