😓 Are you tired of feeling stuck?
For years, you've dreamt of composing for film, animation, and games. You want to spend your life doing something you love with people you enjoy working with. But right now, you just feel stuck.
Maybe you're not sure if you've got what it takes. Maybe you do feel good about your music, but have no idea what to do next. Or maybe you've already tried finding composing work, but haven't had any luck.
If your journey looks like mine did, here's some of the painful problems you're probably dealing with:
- 🎶 You don't feel confident about the quality of your work
- 🦗 No one's listening to your music
- 🔎 You can't find composing jobs online or in-person anywhere
- 👻 No one's answering your cold emails/DMs
- 😖 Networking feels sales-y and manipulative
- 🤷 You have no idea if you're doing the right things
Worst of all, you constantly feel like you're running out of time to figure it all out.
I've been there. In 2011, I went to an expensive music college to study composition, but after graduating I continued to struggle to find composing work for another seven years.
(The best gigs I had back then were teaching piano to kids and playing at churches for $90/week.)
I desperately wanted to be composing for a living - working on exciting projects with cool clients.
But deep down, I knew my dream wouldn't become a reality until I started focusing on my career skills alongside my music skills.
So in 2017, I made the decision to learn as much as I could about the business of making music.
I read countless books, met with successful media composers, experimented with networking tactics and marketing strategies, developed repeatable templates and tools, and beta-tested my ideas in 200+ one-on-one lessons with aspiring composers, until finally...
... I was able to create a simple, repeatable framework that any composer could use to consistently build their network and land paid work.
And once I cracked the code, my career skyrocketed. 🚀
In 2022, I made $80k+ from my composing work, and could finally call myself a full-time composer.
(I've gotten to work with some incredible clients including Dreamworks, Disney, Tencent Games, Flashgitz Animation, Rippaverse Studios, and more.)
But the good news is that doesn't have to take you 7 years like it took me.
In fact, with my framework, you could be landing work in weeks instead of years.
I know because I've seen it happen for countless students inside my program.
