The Difference

Why a mentor beats a course — every time.

Courses give you information. A music producer mentor gives you direction. There's a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it with someone in your corner.

The Mentorship

What working with a music producer mentor actually looks like.

This isn't passive learning. Every week we're working directly on your music, your blocks, and your goals — in real time.

Weekly 1:1 Mentorship Sessions

Every week you get a private 30-minute session focused entirely on you — your track, your challenges, your next step. No group calls. No pre-recorded content.

Real-time feedback on your actual music
You leave every call knowing exactly what to do
Sessions adapt to where you are that week

Between-Session Support

Getting stuck between calls kills momentum. You get direct access to me via private chat — questions, feedback on new ideas, quick wins between sessions.

No waiting a week to get unstuck
Fast feedback on your in-progress work
Accountability without the pressure

A Custom Roadmap Built For You

We start by mapping out exactly where you are and where you want to go. Your mentorship is built around your music, your skill level, and your timeline — not a rigid template.

No cookie-cutter curriculum
Paced to your schedule and goals
Milestones you can actually hit

From Draft to Released Track

The end goal isn't just better skills — it's a fully produced, mixed, mastered, and released track that real people listen to. Your mentor keeps that target in focus every week.

Professional mix & master included
Distribution to Spotify, Apple Music, and more
You keep 100% ownership and royalties

🎯 The 10,000 Stream Promise

Follow the launch strategy we build together, and if your track doesn't hit 10,000 streams, I keep mentoring you for free until it does. Your success is literally my business model.

Your Mentor

A mentor who's been exactly where you are.

Finding the right music producer mentor isn't just about their credentials — it's about whether they actually understand what you're going through. I do.

I know what it's like to feel stuck, to question if your music is good enough, to watch tutorials endlessly without real progress. That's exactly why I built this mentorship program.

After working in Apple's Worldwide eCommerce division for Beats by Dre and training at IO Music Academy in Los Angeles, I developed a system that turns paralysis into finished, released music. I've mentored dozens of producers who've gone on to release tracks with real, earned streams.
