The Independent Hustle: Music, Videos, and Building a Real Fanbase

In this episode of Interviews with The Forum Magazine, we sit down with Shaudy Kash for a raw conversation about music, independence, content strategy, loyalty, and what it really takes to level up in 2026. He talks about finishing the movie “That One Night” and needing extras to complete the final scenes, breaks down how he approaches beats and song structure, and explains why labels pay attention to metrics like YouTube views and Spotify listeners—even when artists are winning on Apple Music. We also get into real “would you rather” questions, dealing with fake people, building a solid fanbase, and how to create 25 pieces of content for one song to make it go up worldwide. ⸻ ✨ Subscribe To The Channel & Hit The HYPE BUTTON ✨ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_forum_magazine?igsh=OGl5ZHVjZG9kM3J4&utm_source=qr TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theforummagazine?_t=ZP-90F3WhaaQpS&_r=1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/17Tgqa3HBN/?mibextid=wwXIfr ⸻ 🎥 Filmed At: Dalion Nation Studios 📍 If you’re in the Metro Detroit area, book your session today at our home studio! https://www.instagram.com/dalionnationstudios?igsh=MThzY3Q5MWlyYXRqZA== ⸻ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER The views and opinions expressed by guests on The Forum Magazine are solely those of the individuals speaking and do not necessarily reflect the views of our platform, brand, or production team.
