Artist Development YOUR Way.
Today the 'Do It Yourself' way of music business can lead to exciting opportunities to plan and launch your career, allowing you to form partnerships and choose your own road to success.
But why go it entirely alone?
It can be difficult AND overwhelming to figure out all of the necessary elements that are part of a successful career in the music industry. That is why I have created a program that will guide you step by step through the entire process of not only delivering the creative side of what you do, but confidently managing your business as an informed entrepreneur in the music industry.
Start showcasing and promoting your work confidently, knowing you understand industry from all angles and can represent yourself as a fully developed artist.
​
This program starts when you want, and can continue along with your growth for as long as you need the support. There is a minimum commitment of 4 months, for you to truly start to see results.
You will gain a thorough understanding of how to manage your music and confidently launch or develop your career in the industry, while also networking with other program members and industry professionals plus you'll receive coaching and mentorship in areas of your artistic and creative practices too.

Why I offer Artist Development:
​
​
After coaching singers for over 20 years, I have reached a point where I want to see clients succeed in advancing in the industry without blindly going it alone, so my role has adapted over the years as vocal coach and mentor to a more formal role with Artist Development.
I want to help guide passionate and dedicated musicians like you, in the right directions and help you successfully build a career and business without wasting time and money. With Rockit's Artist Development services you will free up more time to continue creating and working as a musician, while I help you set up and manage your business. My passion is to give confidence to artists wanting to level up in the industry, whether that's launching your career, releasing a new single, or assisting with managing further from where you are currently at.
​
There are a lot of sharks and small print in this industry! Beware! No one can be a master of ALL the areas you need to cover to succeed and protect your intellectual property as a songwriter and musician. This is why it is imperative to build your team in an informed and coordinated way. This is what I call the "Do It OURSELVES" approach!
I don't claim to be a lawyer or specialist in all legal aspects, or a tour manager, or radio promoter etc ..... but I CAN and WILL connect you with the right people, whether you are looking for entertainment lawyers, songwriting collaborations, professional recording studios, funding for your next tour or the right producers for your sound.... the list goes on. Let's connect and see how I can help you take your music to the next level.
