Case studies
Jakey Krumm set up 11 songs in LYRC and exported 104 lyric videos in 7 weeks. One BLAME ON YOU video hit 416,000 views. His exact process and how to copy it.
Start freeJakey Krumm is an independent artist I know personally. He started using LYRC on August 24, 2026. In the seven weeks since, he has exported 104 lyric videos from 11 songs. That's about 15 videos a week, or two a day.
He set up BLAME ON YOU in LYRC on September 1. Within that first week, two of his BLAME ON YOU lyric videos took off on Instagram: one has 416,000 views and another has 224,000. Both use the same section of the song over different cinematic car footage. (Public view counts, checked October 13, 2026.)
LYRC didn't write his songs or pick his hooks. What it changed is how many videos he could put out per song. Here's exactly how he does it, step by step, so you can copy it.
| First video | August 24, 2026 |
| Songs set up | 11 |
| Videos exported | 104 in 7 weeks |
| Busiest week | 21 videos |
| YouTube videos he pulled clips from | 47 |
| Best single video | 416,000 views (Instagram, BLAME ON YOU) |
| Second best | 224,000 views (same song, different footage) |
Jakey uploads a song and trims the part he wants people to hear, usually the hook. LYRC works on 15 to 30 second sections, which is the length that works on Reels and TikTok anyway.
LYRC transcribes the lyrics and times each word to his vocal. He reads through them and fixes anything it got wrong. Names, slang and ad-libs are the usual misses. Then LYRC finds the kicks and claps in the beat and drops a cut marker on each one, so the video cuts in time with the music.
All of that saves as a song template: the words, the timing, the cut markers and the lyric style. He did this 11 times, once per song, including CALL THIS LOVE, BLAME ON YOU, ENTOURAGE (feat. Bankrol Hayden) and GORGEOUS. Some templates are hooks he was testing as TikTok sounds before release.
The look of a video comes from the clips between the cuts. Jakey pastes YouTube links into LYRC, and LYRC pulls short clips out of each video and adds them to his library. He has done that with 47 videos so far, mostly cinematic car and film footage that matches the mood of his songs.
You can also use LYRC's stock library, your own phone footage, or AI-generated b-roll. Jakey mostly sticks with the clips he pulls himself.
This is the part that takes seconds instead of an evening. He opens a project from a song template and hits Fill. LYRC puts a clip in every slot between the cut markers. The lyrics are already timed, because the template remembers them.
If he likes most of a video but not one shot, he locks the clips he wants and shuffles the rest. If he wants a completely different video, he shuffles everything. Then he exports and posts.
Because the song setup is saved, video number 15 for a song takes about as long as video number 2. That's how one artist gets to 21 videos in a week without an editor.
Jakey posted almost every video he made. Most of them did normal numbers for his account. A few took off. He couldn't have known ahead of time which footage and which hook would be the 416,000-view one, so he made a lot of them and let the views tell him.
That's the whole strategy. More real attempts at the same song, each one a little different.
