The easy way?
If it were easy, everyone would have hundreds of thousands of Youtube subscribers and more video views than One Direction.
edit: OK, so his one direction stat is nonsense. It's still not easy.

With regards to the 'musician' label, I whole heartedly agree with you. Having both learned to play the guitar and learned to produce digital music, I've found term 'musician' is often over used by producers (not that I'm trying to undermine the skill required to be an adept producer, it's just a different skill).
Yeah, I'm not trying to downplay what he did. More effort than he implies but still, mission accomplished.
It's just that he says his aim was:
to be a successful musician in the UK with a Top Five single in the charts
And he's talking like he achieved that, the easy way, with a "hack" no less. And it just doesn't seem to me like he's actually a successful musician yet.
