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.

I learned a great deal I learned a great deal and gained new tools to propel my music career. I felt the total cost of the program was far more e expensive than originally advertised after all the extra tools and services.

Authentic Team of people Michael Walker and his team is the real authentic deal! The amount of knowledge that was and is learned went above and beyond what was expected. I would not be where I am at without this teams expertise, Ari and Logan have been amazing support, I still have a lot to learn moving forward but I am extremely grateful for Modern Musician.

Trust the process. It works!! I am a rising artist and started the Gold Master mind course not knowing what to expect. Not even knowing if it was a legitimate learning opportunity or not. After finishing the course, I have been able to successfully grow my fan base significantly. But the benefits received by this experience doesn’t stop there. I have active fan engagement, learned how to correctly set up social media ads, monetize music, my music streaming is even increasing. And that’s just the start!!
