I started making videos in September 2021. However, for over a year, my videos didn't receive any attention. I felt discouraged and thought it wasn't for me. But every time, I watched videos of creators I admire and analyzed why their videos got lots of views and comments.

As a result, my video went viral for the first time in February 2023, and After 1 year, I became an artist and creator with 900k followers on Instagram, 550k on TikTok, and 200k on YouTube.

In this lecture, I'm going to introduce how to use the music software 'Ableton Live', explain the basic music producing techniques, share the mashup content production method that made my account go viral, and reveal the secrets that helped me grow rapidly.

This lecture will be most helpful for those aspiring to be music creators or producers and also for those who love music or want to become creators.

Introducing Minlee

Min Lee was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. During her school years, she was an exemplary student who studied very hard, scoring in the top 0.3% on the college entrance exam and gaining admission to a prestigious university. However, she began to feel uncertain about her future while in college and took a leave of absence to search for her dreams, traveling to the UK. In the UK, she met various people and through new experiences, she found out what she was good at and passionate about, and returned to Korea.

In 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic began, Min Lee started studying music production by herself. After starting her music studies, she signed contracts with European electronic music labels such as Tropical House Records, We Are Diamonds, and Atlast Records within a year. Later, she became interested in the social media market and began branding herself on short-form platforms like TikTok. Although she initially faced difficulties, once she found the right direction, she grew rapidly.

In terms of achievements, her remix of JVKE's "Golden Hour," which reached the top 10 on the Billboard charts, went viral on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, being used in over 500k videos, and she released an official remix with JVKE.

She has invited to various music-related events and generated close to 4 billion video views in 2023. Moreover, she won an award as the Korean representative at the APAN Star Awards at the end of that year. As of 2024, she is preparing albums and performances with amazing artists based on her growth experiences.
