Workshops

This is the place to get your career and artistry to the place you dream of but not quite not sure how you can reach.

Themusiclifementor is free of judgement but full of useful, practical tools that will change your mindset about your artistry and eventually your career.

The music industry can be unforgiving and relentless, yet the beauty of creation is what makes us come back for more. Twenty five years ago I took my childhood dreams of becoming a music artist and detoured into becoming a professional and global dj.

Along the way i learnt about being a music buyer, A&R, music publishing, and a dash of artist management. I also started producing and releasing my own music under my own record label(s) and in close partnership with select artists.

More recently i reached another milestone in professional career when i was able to start sharing my knowledge through teaching music industry classes and developing my own workshops. My mentoring and teaching path has grown from seed to flower in the last couple of years as i have the opportunity to teach at music institute in Berlin, DJ mentor at an ongoing dj training workshop and also presented my talks/workshops at niche festivals. I love making connections through music as i believe there is no force greater than this simple elegant thing. Why do i offer music mentoring? I have been fortunate to have many amazing mentors, experiences, disappointments, rejections and professional triumphs and through all that i have acquired so many tools that i think could transform the way each of you see yourself as music creators/artists. Your talent is a gift and is precious but the industry can leave you jaded and doubting your abilities. My approach will leave you empowered to shape your direction any way your heart desires.

I am now happy to offer the following workshops online or if possible in person
