If you are an artist who is already on Spotify and earning less than $100 from your music, but would like to change that to +$10,000 a year, then I’ve got something special for you today. But first let me ask you this – have you ever ever wondered why some people seem to easily create five-figure incomes with music and others just struggle?

I left my well paying project management job to pursue my dream career of becoming a music producer (the industry definitely needs more females on the front as globally there’s only 2% of us). I studied music production for 3 years at University West London, and after graduating I wanted to earn income with it. At this point in my life it was pretty tough for me financially and with the pandemic arriving, it took a massive hit on the entire music industry. Whilst I had a few side hustle jobs for producing other artists, I was still struggling so I decided to become an artist myself to maximise the chance of getting discovered and building my music repertoire.

I created my debut album Moving Spaces within 8 months and got a record deal almost instantly with a small indie record label. In the beginning this gave me a confidence boost that my music is good, as we all have doubts about our own music I’m sure. But what’s interesting here is that there were some other internal struggles: The artwork for the album and videos. I got rejected by 2 visual artists so I was forced to learn photoshop and design my own artwork as I didn’t want to work with anyone else.

And with the music video, I couldn’t fly out due to the pandemic so everything had to be done from home. I also had to learn video editing to create small video teasers in order to promote my music. After that happened I came to realise something that changed everything for me: I’m fully capable doing everything myself – The artwork, videos and of course the music. I would have never dreamed of designing everything myself! The sad truth is, you need to learn all of this as the record label you’re with or going to be with at some point in your life, will not do these things for you (unless it’s a major label or have the funds to hire others). If you’re heading towards the DIY Independent artist path then this even more of a reason to learn it all! From my personal experience, if you do everything yourself it creates a lot more value to your fans. They will not see you just a musical artist, but as a REAL artist who expresses themselves audio-visually.

I invested time into learning how to become an “all-around-DIY-artist” and with that, I slowly but gradually built my audience. The orders came in for my album Moving Spaces and reached the point where vinyls and CDs were sold out, my record label had to restock the CDs 4x already. However, this tiny success doesn’t mean you’re on your way of earning $10K now! It’s quite the opposite actually. When you’re with a record label, all of the earnings go to the label so they can recoup on any expenses made (i.e. vinyl manufacturing costs, PR etc). So you’re not getting anything into your pockets for a while here! 

I then released my album Kyoto Dreams which was outside of my record labels agreement, where I owned the masters this time (meaning 100% royalties go to me) and guess what happened? I started earning money for the first time from music! That was quite an achievement and exhilarating, but the best thing was when I launched a crowdfunding vinyl project on Kickstarter (on request of my fans). It was a complete success and was over funded with 134%! 

Of course creating and achieving these things (producing music fast, streams, building an audience and earning income) is never an easy task, so that’s why I created the “Music Artist Masterclass”!

In my premium masterclass you’ll learn: 

1. how to turn your home recordings to professional songs
2. all about composition and arrangement without needing music theory
3. how to edit and produce music faster
4. how to program drums
5. how to improve writing / producing music because I’m able to give you honest and constructive feedback that you can work with in oder to improve
6. how to do stunning artwork yourself
7. how to do video editing
8. all about music marketing
9. how to pre-sell your music without spending any money upfront!
10. how to create a low budget music video from scratch
11. how to create your own artist website!
12. how to attract a record label (if you really want one)
13. how to generate multiple income streams with your music

On top of that:

1. You’ll save money because if you were to study music at a university this will cost you at least $30K, and not everything is covered that I’ll be teaching you!
2. You’ll save time, because most of the research is done for you that I’ve spent weeks or months on! 
3. You’ll get quicker results as I’m here to guide you with on your project! My premium course provides personal coaching and a project plan to achieve your goals!
4. The course is meant to be enjoyable and to save energy so you can focus on the things that matter in order to get your music done
5. You’ll get clear, easy step-by-step video guides which are made from an artist to an artist (unlike other courses where a pro sound engineer shows you how to mix but has zero experience being an artist! – They just leave you hanging there after you complete their mixing course!)
6. You can say goodbye to production tutorials on YouTube! No more random YT dudes presenting, no more long intros, ads, no more wasting time! – My masterclass will be like an “All-in-one platform” and I’m the sole presenter / tutor that you can directly reach out to! Literally any time!
7. There is a dedicated “members only area” on my website that will give you access to additional content like resources for further studies, freebies and a student community channel on my Discord server.

Ready to get things rolling? I currently have 2 masterclasses: a flagship course (EAM) and a premium course (MAM). Each have their own value depending on your goals:
