IT WILL NEVER BE A BETTER TIME TO START  

  • You don’t need to know how to make music or play an instrument (although it helps)

  • You don’t need to know anything about FL Studio

  • You just need a desire to create, experiment, and find joy in making music. It’s now possible to learn all the tricks and tools to become a professional musician and producer from your own home. You don’t need to shell out thousands of dollars for a professional studio to produce your music. Everything you need can be done from home on your computer and this course will show you how.

WHY AM I DOING THIS?

Most musicians never get beyond the level of playing an instrument. They dream of having their songs on the radio or in movies but keep waiting to “get discovered” by some outside big name label. What they don’t realize is that music producing companies want to see a track record of polished music already made before taking a chance on an unknown musician. The musician is waiting for the producer to help them make great music so they can be promoted and the producer is waiting for the musician to make great music before they will take a chance on promoting them. Musicians and composers need to understand the steps and tools in music producing so they can create professional music that stands out from the amateurs. 

That's why I created this course - to walk with you through the entire process.

What are the requirements? 

Do you have a computer? That’s all you need. If you don’t own FL Studio yet, I’ll show you where to download a free demo version. This course will cover everything you need to get started - from coming up with melody ideas to mixing and mastering your musical composition, to distributing your music online.
