This personalized one-on-one coaching session gives you everything you need to begin with confidence.

I have more than 20 years of professional studio experience, both in a commercial studio and a home studio environment. I’ve recorded literally hundreds of bands, artists and songwriters, across all genres. Over the years I’ve made all the mistakes so you don’t have to! I’ll help you map out a clear pathway from idea to operation. You’ll learn industry insights. You will gain business planning strategies and studio setup principles. Also, you will learn about negotiating pricing, branding, and marketing. You will acquire real-world workflow techniques that most courses never teach.

Its really up to you what we discuss during our sessions and I guided by you and what you want. We can discuss the technical aspects of producing professional music.

These decisions will make you competitive in today’s music services marketplace.
