I'm Ready - Enroll Now😓 Tired of feeling stuck?
You're dying to compose for film, games, and animation, but nobody's actually taught you how - and nothing you're doing is working.
You've probably tried...
- 🎬 Honing your composing & scoring chops
- 🎶 Posting music on Soundcloud and your website
- 📩 Sending a few cold emails (with no replies)
- 🔎 Googling "composer jobs" and applying to everything
But despite your efforts, you're hitting wall after wall, and you constantly feel like time's running out.
How do I know? Because that was me, too. 👋
Even though I'd gone to composition college, nobody taught me how to actually make a living doing music. After graduating, I stepped out into the "real world", and...
... I barely had any composing work for five years.
(And the gigs I did get couldn't pay for a nice dinner, let alone my rent.)
I was frustrated, confused, and increasingly desperate.
By 2020, I was ready to give up.
It was only when I'd hit my breaking point that I decided to adjust my strategy and try something so simple that I figured there was no way it would work. I pulled up Facebook, looked up an old acting friend from high school, and begged him for help.
And it worked.
One gig led to two, two led to four, my network expanded organically, word of mouth spread, and two years later my career had completely transformed.
In 2022, I made $80,000 exclusively from composing work, got to write music for Dreamworks and Disney, and was finally able to call myself a full-time composer.
But here's the thing.
If I'd continued polishing my reel, blasting cold emails, and applying to jobs, I never would have gotten to compose for these clients.
But nobody's teaching what actually works - not online, and certainly not in college.
Why? Because the composers who do find success often don't have time to teach how they got to where they are, leaving most online advice to be completely outdated or vague and contradictory.
Which is exactly why I decided to create the 🎬 Composing Career Bootcamp.
In this 6-week program, I'll teach you exactly how I effectively built my network from scratch, got my music heard by posting online, honed my email skills to get replies, and kept my clients happy so they'd keep coming back for more.
You'll get 200+ video lessons, a private student portal to chat with fellow composers, and a handy Notion toolkit filled with templates and tools.
(Think of this program as an all-in-one career guide so you never have to feel confused about next steps or search through conflicting advice online again.)
Because composing for a living doesn't have to take you a decade like it took me.
In fact...
With the skills and tools inside the 🎬 Composing Career Bootcamp, you could be getting paid to compose in weeks.
(Don't take my word for it - check out the testimonials and see for yourself. 🙂)

🤔 So - How Much Is This Program?
The Bootcamp isn't cheap - but it's not expensive, either.
For context, if you enrolled in a music college to try and learn these skills, you'd pay around $20,000 per year - and that's assuming they taught these music business skills in college.
(Spoiler: they don't, or this course wouldn't exist. 🙂)
Or, you could pay a business coach for direct mentorship, most of whom charge a premium for that kind of work (I was charging $500 per hour for 1:1 career consultations.)
But I want you to learn these skills from the comfort of your own home - without learning the hard way and racking up student loans along the way.
And that's why I've decided to price the Bootcamp at only $995.
(It's a total steal - many students tell me they would've paid that price for the networking module alone.)
We also offer payment plans to help make your decision to enroll as smooth as possible, and a 21-day refund policy if for any reason it's not for you.
