If that is your idea then
I would (personally) scrap it and start a different route. I hate those kinds of opinions though (the one I just gave last sentence) without solutions so here is what I would suggest:
First, it sounds like you have an idea of two different platforms: The first platform is that you want to sell your music. The second platform is that you want to add forums etc. for people to chat and make money off of ad revune (users + advertisement views = revenue)
If I am moving forward with that assumption, here is what I would suggest. Build a site that is completely unique for people like you. Not Youtube, not WSHH, but a community of artists trying to break into the industry or share their music etc. Come up with forums and subforums (maybe where people can vote on other people's videos, give suggestions, etc.) and build a community around breaking into the industry. The way that forums work (monetarily) is that they get people to continue to come back and share their opinion. Having a website devoted to one artist (you), who quite honestly isn't big enough to support enough conversation and interest YET that would keep people coming back and participating enough to build any genuine ad interest, is probably the wrong route.
However, your site could be the #1 place for ALL talent to come and share their work, get critiques, get reviews and suggestions, build relationships, collab, etc. etc. and that would create a unique spot on the internet, which would allow you to make money from advertisements.
Second, I would work on your brand on other platforms. If you aren't poppin on IG, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook... Music.ly, then what is going to make people want to clamor on your personal website and buy your music? Put yourself into your desired consumer's shoes. Have you EVER gone to an unheard of artist's page, subscribed to their newsletter, purchased their song, if you have never heard of them? Have you ever searched for new artists, found their website, and then spent hours upon hours there? The answer is probably not. What makes you different? (No offense by the way
just trying to provide a logical outside perspective)
If you are going to have your own website (which is fine) Make it unique, interesting and put a BUNCH of thought into it. If I found your page organically, I would see all the videos...it's not bad, but it's not great yet. Don't rush it. Take your time and be meticulous. First impressions are the only thing you have. And
for putting yourself out there. I hope nothing I've said comes off as harsh or condescending.
...I think I could build a following thru public performances but there aren't any places in DC to perform at unless you wanna perform for other artists at hole in the wall clubs...it takes a while to work a song...so I test marketed a song that I got good feedback on...gonna work that until it pops...working on a video for it now...you're right about first impressions...I've had to make many first impressions...but it is what it is...
