Your Career is Already Happening - It's Time Your Own Music Caught Up!

Discover the 3 conditions you need to release your music in the next 12 months.

A free live workshop for musicians who want their album finished in the next year - not some day.

If you’re like most musicians I work with, you’re successful with everyone else’s commissions, projects, sessions, and tours because there’s a schedule and a deadline.

Your own music doesn't, the only person who can make it happen… is you!

I work with musicians like you who are experienced, and doing really well on paper. Your diary is full, you've got good collaborations, and make work you're proud of.

But… there's also a record, an EP, or a body of your own work that keeps getting put off.

Either tracks are sitting half-mixed or unmastered, or the music hasn’t even properly got started - just an idea that keeps popping up that you've never quite let yourself imagine all the way through.

Meanwhile, life keeps happening. Maybe a producer went off sick and the whole thing stalled. Maybe a collaboration didn't go the way you hoped. Or maybe a big opportunity came in that brought cash flow, and the album slid again. Maybe you just got busy — with gigs, teaching, sessions, someone else's tour, parenting, sickness, and the weeks turned into months turned into years.

I totally recognise this pattern myself — as a musician and coach, I know all the distractions and resistance in the book, it's painful!

Working with artists across genres and pockets of the music industry for over 25 years: until you make the work that is entirely yours, you can't point anyone to who you actually are as an artist.

Your career is built on what other people need from you - and you’re able to brilliantly deliver. But not on who you want to be recognised as artistically.

And it's not because you're not "disciplined" enough — it's that the conditions to actually finish (or start) have always taken second place to your other commitments and priorities.

So, if you've still got that fire in your belly, the one that hasn't gone out, no matter how long it's been, and you're ready to do something about it, this workshop might be a good place to start.

In 90 minutes you'll:

  • See exactly which of the three conditions — Creative, Momentum, or Cash — is holding your album back
  • Look at the benefits and costs of holding back on your album and what it’s costing the artist you want to evolve into
  • Leave knowing the next decision, conversation or commitment that will move your album forward

This isn’t a release plan or marketing strategy. It’s a practical self-audit and a chance to make some honest decisions about what happens next.

"I was looking for support to release my debut album, which I'd been working on for a number of years and struggled to get over the finish line." Daisy Chute, independent singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist

" I've pinned down that I will definitley be releasing an album of songs later this year. It feels like I'm doing things at another personal and professional level now. " Catherine Ashby,
indie folk singer-songwriter

"When someone asks me where they can hear my music, I can point them to some pieces of music I'm proud of that sit online, but I can't point them to the piece of music. I can't go, yep, got an album out."
Lloyd Coleman, composer and clarinettist

This is for you if:

  • You're an experienced musician with an album, EP, or body of work you've been putting off, or barely started
  • Your diary is full of music work, but your own work that will open creative and artistic opportunities for you, keeps getting bumped by whatever's most pressing this month
  • You've decided this album gets finished in the next 12 months, not when things calm down some day

It’s not for you if:

  • You're looking for management or booking agent support right now — that's not what I offer, although it could be a valid part of the conditions you are looking to put in place
  • You're not open to looking at the things that might be holding you back
  • You believe the only thing standing between you and your album is the state of the music industry
