I knew it would be important for me to attend Music Pro ’26, I just didn’t know why. Even as the date approached, I had some reservations about making the trip down to Hollywood. I was aware from the outset that there probably wouldn’t be much income potential for me, but I also knew that connections could be made and opportunities could be created. So, I took a leap of faith. What I’m taking away from Music Pro ’26, however, is a little unexpected, even for me. Here’s what happened… (By the way, none of what I share here is meant as a slight to Music Pro ’26, its organizers, sponsors, or otherwise. As far as I’m concerned, they pulled off the conference with flying colors, and I give them kudos for having kept the train on track to the very end.) The Music Business isn’t for Me And by that I mean the do-it-for-your-passion, do-it-because-you-love-it, grind-it-out-until-you-make-it method most musicians are told to follow and subject themselves to. For those not in the know – I alr...

 🎒 What did I actually bring back from Music Pro '26? - Not a PRS guitar (unfortunately 😄)… - But definitely a bag full of music industry goodies. In this video, I’m unpacking everything—from tote bags and earplugs to stickers, promo materials, and a few unexpected items that somehow made it into the mix. But more than that, this video represents a bit of a shift for me… Instead of just pushing out content for consistency’s sake, I’m focusing on: - ✅ Finishing what I start - ✅ Putting real care into what I create - ✅ Letting the process breathe a bit Sometimes that means simpler videos like this — but they’re still part of the journey. So here’s my question for you: If you went to Music Pro '26… 👉 What would you have hoped to walk away with? More insights, interviews, and behind-the-scenes from Music Pro '26 coming soon 👀 Don't miss out on the limited-time T-shirt bundle. Order yours now. https://davidandrewwiebe.com/?p=28398

 The "Peacocking" Shirt has arrived! 📦🔥 If you followed one of my last videos, you saw the "vanilla vs. star" design struggle. Well, the bag finally showed up (a few days late, but we’ll forgive them!), and it was time for the moment of truth. I’m doing a full unboxing and fit test of the new T-shirt. As someone with a "pro wrestler" build, finding the right fit is always a gamble, but I’m happy to report that this "walking business card" was ready for its Los Angeles debut at MusicPro26! Inside the video: - ✅ The first look at the logo in print. - ✅ Why I use Printful for my custom gear. - ✅ How you can grab one for yourself (by popular demand!). I’ve put together a special T-shirt bundle for those of you who wanted to rock the look. Check out the link in the comments to get yours! More Music Pro '26 updates coming soon—stay tuned! #SparkInfinity #MusicPro26 #MerchReveal #Unboxing #CreativeEntrepreneur #TShirtDesign #Printfu...
