Features
No matter your stage as a self-produced artist, from aspiring performer to seasoned creator ready to release, this course offers a tailored experience to elevate your music career:
- Flow-state Production: By developing your live performance skills, you’ll harness the power of studio improvisation – making your writing and production sessions, faster, smoother and more expressive. The goal is to surpass the typical painstaking production workflows and get to completing tracks in a single session, while inspiration is still fresh.
- Professional Development: Through collaborative workshops and dedicated mentorship, you’ll expand your capabilities across four essential areas of modern music-making. From crafting captivating live performances and developing advanced production techniques, to mastering either vocal production or sound design as your creative cornerstone, through to building your artist brand, navigating music industry deals and preparing for a successful release launch. Each module builds upon your existing foundation to establish you as a well-rounded, professional artist. This comprehensive approach ensures you develop both the creative and industry expertise needed for success in today’s music landscape.
- Grand Finale – Launch Day: The course culminates in a professional showcase event where you’ll premiere your releases, supported by your industry-guided launch strategy. This milestone event is more than a graduation – it’s your launchpad into the industry, connecting your music directly with audiences and key industry influencers.
