Success in the Music Industry

Customer Testimonial:

“Does it work? Absolutely! I never thought I would be touring with one of the hottest acts to emerge in music. Now I am. The programme was a huge help in getting me out of the regime I was in and into this one. And now it’s happening. Cool.”

As a soloist or band, you feel you could be the next ‘big’ act. Or maybe you are coming to the end of your career. You passionately believe in your music. But you’re one of many who are trying to make it or re-invent yourself. You know there is a lot more that needs to happen to be that hit. You can’t control the music industry, but you can develop yourself.

As a label, you have an act that has ‘potential’ but needs practical development outside of the pure music ability to deliver against your investment.

Or maybe you’re already successful and are looking for practical ways of surviving and thriving at the top.

This ‘one of a kind’ approach was originally developed in response to requests from a professional musician who has since become the international success they wanted to be. If you need real answers, systems, support and challenge, insights and techniques that allow you to be the best musician/band you can be, then let’s rock and roll!

And remember, the programme works equally well for classical as well as contemporary musicians.

Structure & Content

The programme is flexibly designed for any individual or band who are seeking to develop their potential and perform better in every gig or recording.

Are you trying to break beyond from your current stage of development, wondering why it’s not happening as you think it could, be more consistent in your performances, be taken more seriously, be better prepared to take on the big time, have a stronger mind-set or develop new levels of motivation for making it?

In all these cases, this programme is what you are looking for.

There are several options available ranging from…

A single session: Sometimes this is the only catalyst needed to highlight the strengths you are currently underutilising, identify the blockages and discover the motivation necessary to commit yourself to a course of action.

Accelerator Programme Typically lasting from 1 to 3 months. Ideal for those who want to discover and implement the strategies that will develop their potential with practical support to get them noticed and booked.

Maintenance Programme A year-long maintenance regime, building on the accelerator programme, where support and challenge to greater levels of achievement are delivered.

Are U2 a successful Irish rock band?

It absolutely does work. According to one artist who has sold over 100 million albums, the average Return on Investment from a programme like this was 75 times the cost.
