SET YOUR LIFE TO MUSIC
PRIVATE 1:1 COACHING
Are you meant to sing onstage and write your own music, yet there's something that's keeping you lost at sea, Lionheart?
Would you appreciate someone’s expert ear on technique on what you're doing to protect and expand your voice, coach you on performance style, and get you in community? What if you could just have someone to fall back on to support you and shove you in the door?!
I know so well how that goes, Lionheart. I've had a lot of successes in music yet also many heartbreaks with singing. It's taken decades to find my voice - and I'm always honing my craft and sculpting my vision.
I can help you navigate technical vocal issues at an advanced level, perform confidently, get clarity on your zone of genius, and guide you with the inner work that holds your answers.
Let's get you from the shower to the stage with your original music - or any music that lights you up. Lessons are online or in-person in New York City.
#YOLO, Lionheart. If you're serious about pursuing your dreams with support from a woman who's living it in the music industry, book a free call.
TEKNOFONIC
I'm excited to join Teknofonic's mentorship team and offer coaching in not just songwriting, voice, music theory, and live performance with Ableton, but also in marketing and grant writing.
If you look at the top artists, you’ll notice that they don’t achieve success on their own. They all have coaches and mentors—someone to give them music career advice and teach them how to avoid costly mistakes within the industry.
Teknofonic hosts monthly live webinars and 1:1 private sessions with artists like me and entrepreneurs sharing music industry secrets and professional producers giving an inside look at their creative and technical process.
Join Teknofonic's mentorship program to get help whenever you need it.
My friend and mentor Laura Escudé is hosting a FREE Online Masterclass ‘The Art Of Designing A Live Show’ tonight, August 13, at 5PM PST / 8PM EST. Open to all - free with RSVP: http://transmute-qa.lauraescude.com/
Lionheart, getting back out onstage with my new electronic tracks opened a side of me that's spun out so many blessings and opportunities. Yes, I've performed my electronic songs before with resources I found on YouTube, but I knew there had to be a better way where I could step out with more confidence in my live set.
I don't have any sort of promotional deal with Laura to share this with you - I just know that participating in this was one of the best things I've done with music recently. The community, the content, the accountability, and the experience were game-changers. There's a deadline approaching for Transmute 2.0 and you should know about this and share it with your friends who'd be interested.
From Laura:
