I quit making music.
Then I built the reason to come back.

Between 2016 and 2021, I was a beatmaker trying to make it on YouTube and BeatStars, uploading type beats and hoping one would land. Five years in, splitting nights between FL Studio and a screen full of code — close to 200 beats made, 115 of them put out chasing sales. The result? Just about zero.

The routine was brutal. One beat a day, every day, just to keep a shot at a single sale. Then an hour every morning before work: exporting the video, designing a thumbnail, writing a title, digging for tags, second-guessing the whole thing. And the worst part — never really knowing if I was even chasing the right niche. I was grinding hard and flying blind.

So I burned out. Not in some dramatic way. Just quietly. The uploads stopped. The day job took over. The music got put "on pause" — which, let's be honest, usually means done. Years of beats left sitting on a hard drive, unheard.

Early 2025, the itch came back. But not like last time. Not torching my best hours on editing and SEO instead of actually making beats.

That's when the idea took shape. What if the boring half of the job — the videos, the tags, the niche guessing — just handled itself? I code, so I built it. I had never done anything quite like this before, and I learned a ton along the way. But once it actually worked for me, the question was obvious: why keep it to myself?

That's TypeFlick — automated YouTube videos and niche research for beatmakers, so your time goes into the beats, not the busywork.
