Understanding the music industry - who are the different players and how to approach them?

-
How to distribute your music and to reach a bigger audience (e.g. playlist plugging)

Building your network; finding out your music making preferences

...anything more you need help with - don't hesitate to ask me about anything!
How I will work with you:
Step 1: Please get in touch with me! Ideally, send me your social media + website links (if you have) and music. It would be great to already hear from you what your goals are and what you need help with.
Step 2: I will get back to you via email, optionally we can also have a quick Skype call to talk about the set up of a consulting session.
Step 3: After that - if you agree on all terms and book me for a session - I will work out the strategy for your individual needs and have a session with you either on Skype or face-to-face to coach you and give you tips and advice, to work out with you the concrete steps you should take and how to come closer to your goals. The session will take around 90-120 minutes.
Step 4: Afterwards I will send you a package of general helpful information, but also create a personalised guideline, including things we talked about and worked out, as well as further ideas and possibly helpful contacts.
My goal is to increase your music industry knowledge, to give you inspiration for concrete steps to take, to support you mentally and to help you find the path you'd like to go and how to achieve it!
Costs:
-
First session (as described above): 150€
-
Any further sessions, if needed: 120€
All sessions will take approximately 1-2 hours. Preparations and info material + personalised guidelines are included in the prices.
