Collaborate with a new team each week to write, produce, and submit an original song. You’ll be paired with complementary creatives—artists, producers, writers, and musicians—to bring each track to life. Get hands-on guidance from industry pros who help refine your melody, lyrics, structure, and mix. Each week ends with expert feedback to sharpen your skills and elevate your process. By staying active in the program, you’ll build a growing catalog of songs and become more creatively productive than ever.
LEARN MOREModule One is all about the creative process and building a strong foundation for great songwriting. Each week, you'll focus on crafting a new song, with close attention to toplining, melody, structure, production, and vocal performance. This phase emphasizes collaboration—developing the ability to share ideas constructively and work fluidly with others to bring a shared vision to life. You'll also dive into vocal training, vocal chains, and music production techniques that will take your tracks to the next level.
Module Two focuses on giving you the tools to professionally release your music. While continuing to write and develop songs, you'll learn how to prepare a track for release—from registering copyrights and publishing to setting up distribution, collecting royalties, and handling the legal and business essentials. You'll also dive into branding, marketing, and social media strategy, along with music business insights that help you build a sustainable career. By the end of this phase, you’ll be equipped to confidently release your songs, collect earnings, and manage the full life cycle of your work.
Every month, we host a live master class at the Recording Club in Santa Monica, also streamed via Zoom for virtual members. These sessions feature mentors from across the music industry who share their journeys, teach specialized skills—from production and songwriting to artistry and instrumentation—and often include live performances or jam sessions. It’s a unique opportunity for members to learn directly from working professionals, connect with the community, and continue growing creatively and professionally in a collaborative space.
