Testimonials

“I have been slaving away in the music industry for 10 years now and reached a point where I was becoming increasingly unhappy with the little returns or appreciation for the amount of effort I was putting in.

I would never say these words lightly about anyone, so when I say this, it comes from a place of absolute gratitude and appreciation. After going through with Steve’s training, I felt that I’d learned more about the industry in those 7 weeks than I had in 10 years!

It equipped me with the knowledge & confidence I needed to take that step into becoming a professional, and stepping out of my amateur clothes. I have already applied Steve’s techniques, and I saw my merch sales skyrocket at my shows from a 20-30% to an 80% sales conversion rate!”

Chooka Parker – Australia’s Got Talent Sensation
Musician/Composer/TV Personality & YouTuber
(over 25 million collective YouTube streams)

“Before I started the program, I had only about 1 or 2 clients per year, making no money from production services, having to rely on other jobs.

Since I started this process, I learned about sales, marketing strategies, accountability, and a lot of things changed my mind about the way I see the music business. Once I started to put in practice the things I learned, everything changed.

Currently I’m working with 3 artists, doing one full album and two EPs making $20,000 from these projects.

It’s not magic. You just have to follow the process and things start to happen.”

Boris – Music Producer
(New World Audio Production)

“The weekly Mastermind sessions gave me accountability for getting things done that I had previously avoided in my career. Thanks Steve, Michel, Jake and all my homies for helping me share my unique voice!”

Brett – Producer, Guitarist, Vocalist & Working Artist
(The Confident Musician)

Element 1

Career Planning

Every 3 months

Upon commencing Unleash The Artist, you will participate in your first career planning session. Clear focus is a huge part of achieving career success.

Working closely with your dedicated Career Mentor:

  • We help you decide the type of music career you want
  • We then map out a customised path for you on how you’re going to achieve that vision, and break this down into achievable steps over a 3-month period
  • With this, you will now have a clear career vision, and a solid understanding of what you need to do to get there

Upon completion of this session, you will receive your own unique Music Career Development Plan, including:

  • Your career vision statement
  • Your career roadmap; and
  • Your objectives and tasks for the next 3 months

Career planning sessions occur every 3 months with your dedicated Career Mentor to review and adjust your Career Development Plan accordingly. At each session, your career vision and path will come into greater focus as you develop and progress.

These quarterly objectives are then broken down into individual monthly goals that you can work through with your peers during your weekly meetings.

Each member will have full access to their customised Career Development Plan and objectives, which details their quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals.

Element 2

Weekly Mentoring Meetings

The weekly meetings provide you with the knowledge, skills, support, and accountability you need to develop and market your own music, and the products and services you want to offer. There are two parts to these weekly meetings.

Part A: Knowledge & Skill Development

Each week, our team of mentors will present new content and information on a range of topics that will help you develop and market your music and the products and services you want to offer. This includes a question-and-answer session, with a subject matter expert to ensure you get the most out of these sessions.

We then ask you to take away what you have learned and directly apply it to your current career tasks to reinforce the knowledge gained.

Our team of mentors, subject matter experts, and Music Valley industry partners facilitates your meetings and sessions.

Part B: Support and Accountability

In UTA, we use the, “Measure What Matters” planning system. This system is used by some of the most successful musicians and companies in the world, such as Google, Spotify, and even Bono from U2.

This system will help you to set very specific and achievable monthly and weekly tasks, in line with your Career Development Plan.

Each week, each member of your 8-person UTA group will discuss:

  • The tasks they had set to execute last week
  • What they actually achieved; and
  • The new tasks they plan to execute the following week

    Your Mentor and peers will then provide you with feedback in a round table style format which includes advice on how to best tackle your next objective.

    This structure ensures that each task is set in line with realistic expectations and that each participant maintains a high degree of clarity, focus, and execution to stay on course and achieve their career vision.

    Selection of topics covered

    • Social media tips and strategies
    • Event promotion
    • Marketing campaign support
    • Industry trends
    • Releasing & distribution
    • Effective collaboration & networking
