Stock Music Links was reviewed for the first time by another website! In this post, I just wanted to share their review and also use it as an opportunity to reflect on my Stock Music Links journey so far.

Since launching Stock Music Links, there have been a lot of awesome milestones that I’ve been fortunate to celebrate: the first time someone streamed my music, the first time someone downloaded one of my songs, the first time a YouTuber used my stock music in their video, and more.

One milestone I wasn’t expecting was to be reviewed for the first time by a fellow Content Creator, but it happened! The Sabado Project wrote a great review of Stock Music Links. The Sabado Project is a website that shares one couple’s life projects and helpful tips with the world, from cooking to tech. I actually featured one of their cooking videos as example work a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised when they reviewed my work on their site afterwards!

So thanks again to The Sabado Project for their review. You can check it out here: The Sabado Project reviews Stock Music Links

Being reviewed also allowed me to take a step back and appreciate all the other great moments I’ve been blessed to experience in my creative career. What a journey so far! I still remember that Sunday morning back in January earlier this year when I discovered that my music was used in a YouTube video for the very first time. I was caught off guard (in a good way) and got a little emotional to be honest. It was amazing.

Now fast forward a little over 8 months later and my songs have been viewed over 50,000 times across my two YouTube Channels, downloaded hundreds of times on Bandcamp, and used by dozens of awesome YouTubers and Content Creators in at least 50+ videos and counting.

But I’ve only just started. I am excited to keep growing, learning, and making better music.

So let’s grow together.

Have you ever wanted to read the very first blog post from a random blog created by an independent musician from Toronto?

Congrats! You just did.
