The best investment you can make in your music career. The Modern Musician program has been completely transformative for my career as a musician. It has taken my just-for-kicks level project into a full scale, viable business with a reach that I never would have thought possible. The MM team combines leading edge tech with marketing know-how and expert peer-to-peer coaching for the most well-rounded, holistic solutions available to musicians. If you're a musician with strong material but lack of know-how to promote it, give yourself this gift and invest. You will be glad you did.

Taking the Gold Artist Program at Modern Musician Taking the Gold Artist Program at Modern Musician was a big step in my music career. I learned a lot of valuable things that helped me improve my habits and outlook on my music career, and I had a lot of breakthroughs that changed my thinking and approach around monetization, merch, email list building, and more. The best part of the program was getting to know other musicians and to have a really practical, inside view of what they're doing—the nuts and bolds of how an ad performed, how much they spent on shipping merch, how they figured out how to monetize their livestream, etc. One thing that holds me back from giving a 5-star review is the fact that, after following the coursework and really putting in the work, I'm operating at a STEEP loss which does not make my current setup viable in any way for me. Some of the business systems that have proven profitable for members of the Modern Musician team haven't worked as well for me—for example, the ad system that seemed to work well for others are insanely expensive for me to run, and shipping costs from Canada erase the profit margins on physical goods. I've spent a large portion of my time re-engineering the systems that were said to work when I joined the program. Becoming monetized and profitable was the main reason I joined, and that was a huge selling aspect of the course, so truthfully I am a little let down that I'm not seeing any returns. So, in the end, I'm going to get a result that works for me, but it's only because I'm willing to really put in the work and redesign it all, based partially on concepts I learned in the course. Overall, this is a fantastic group of people. It's a lot of work to implement the coursework, but if you do, you'll end up with a more organized system for running your business, connecting with fans, positioning your merch, and other aspects of being an indie musician!

We found Modern Musician as we were…looking for new listeners We found Modern Musician as we were looking to promote a new music release. I highly recommend this company if you are looking to grow your fan base, connect to new listeners and find fresh ways to create income as an artist. They are on top of their game!!! You definitely should be ready to do a lot of work to move your creative entity forward. This isn't a publicity campaign--where you hire someone to do the work for you and hope for the best. But why would you want that? This is a mix of education, coaching & publicity implementation. Modern Musician gives you so much innovative information as well as a lot of technology training so you can find your ideal fans, connect with them and take your music career to the next level.

Modern Musician Indeed! MM has been so essential for me! The program has taken my career - and my relationship with my career - to a new level. In the space of a year, I more than doubled my fanbase and was finally able to cover my advertising costs by selling merch to superfans all over the world. It's a lot of work, but very much worth it. Michael and team have created an ever-evolving system that gives artists real agency in these confusing times. Highly recommend.
