Being aware and participating fully in your music life
Many new performers just don't know where to start in the music business. So you've written a few songs, you play, you sing, what next? Where do you go? Many artists stumble through doing the best they can, without direction or thought of what to do next week, next month, or next year. New or inexperienced artists artists (and importantly their parents and support networks) often spend a lot of money on singing and music lessons, getting recordings and film clips done etc, but then do not know where to go next, or who to talk to!
I've struggled through the maze of all these musical things over the last 20 years am now offering my time to artists to enable them to develop the skills to be 'mindful' about their music careers; to be present and make confident and well considered decisions in line with their goals and aspirations. With over twenty years not only involved in music, but also in the corporate business world, I can help you navigate the BUSINESS side of music.
Focussing on:
Don't be fooled - these are NOT singing or performance lessons (although I can help you find a vocal or instrument coach that suits you). I can also advise you when you need to seek the assistance of external consultants (legal advice, producers, songwriters, PR professionals, managers, etc) and advise of alternative methods, when your budget doesn't allow for these things.
My consultation service is an advisory service only. I can help you - as an independent artist or band make plans and learn the necessary skills you need to take those very important first steps. I do not take on the project nor do I perform the required work for you, but I can refer you to the right professionals that CAN do that work for you if your budget allows. I'm not your manager, pr consultant, or producer, I am a consultant to assist you with the business aspects of music.
Assistance with developing merchandising strategies and finding the right merchandise (at the right price).
