This show is an incredible resource for musicians who value their talent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm a magician (not a musician) out of Southern California. I'm going to use your strategies for my own art. Awesome!

James Why is to change the way muscians look at their industry and the music they create. Music is not just notes , its the heart and soul of the creater of the music. Create and find your way by tfollowing the notes.,

I love the advice for producing music. It's so true that it doesn't have to be a big studio gig, or an indie self promoting thing. I love the advice for building your business!
