Wanna have more success as an artist but a lack of clarity, focus or confidence is holding you back? I’m here to help you uplevel so you have the awesome music career you’re meant to
Hey you!
It’s simple: you were born to make music. You love writing/ producing/ performing and you’ve got fantastic music inside you that you want to share with as many people as possible. Whether your music is healing, uplifting or cathartic, it adds value to the world when so much else takes away from it. And yes, it has the power to shift the collective vibration, your creative work is that important.
But, let's be honest, the journey down the musical path isn't a walk in the park.
You've got undeniable talent, fantastic releases and shows in your repertoire, but having clear goals or plans, sticking to them, and putting yourself out there with confidence aren’t exactly your strong points.
You have a stalker - not a fan celebrating your every move, but a critical voice inside your head that makes you overthink, compare yourself to others and question whether what you do is good enough. That nagging self-doubt has a knack for creeping in and sabotaging even your best efforts.
The thought of self-promotion makes you squirm, and exposing yourself on social media feels vulnerable (What if no one likes it? What if people judge and you get misunderstood?). Networking? You're trying, in your own introverted way.
You’re not sure how to prioritize your goals or break them down into achievable steps that will take you in the right direction. Despite your best intentions, you find it tricky to stay disciplined at times and hold yourself accountable, which gets in the way of you following through with projects, being consistent with your creative practice, finishing songs, or releasing the material you’ve been sitting on.
You can't shake that lingering guilt, wondering if you're doing everything you can to push your music career forward.
All of this keeps you from reaching your music goals, making you feel anxious and frustrated, and after struggling with this for so long, you worry that nothing will change.
Settling for less-than-ideal projects or just your regular job is not an option and you’re ready to put your artistic career and biggest aspirations back where they belong: front and center.
After DIYing it for so long, you’re ready to break through to the next level of success, manifest your big vision and become an established artist.
You're excited about releasing your best songs, performing in front of larger audiences, and collaborating with other artists (or getting in the room with more established ones). You're eager to get signed (or continue the independent route), find a team, and inspire people with your music.
Imagine people messaging you saying how your music has changed their lives, and leaving a creative legacy…
Picture yourself in the studio immersed in the creative flow, or traveling and touring the world playing sellout shows…
Feel the sense of connection and belonging that comes with meeting and collaborating with like-minded creatives…
Envision a future where you make more income from your music and become financially free so you can create art full time…
The thing is, structure isn't exactly your creative mind's best friend, and artists I’ve partnered with thrived with external accountability. Plus, there’s no clear roadmap to success in this industry, which makes it difficult to know what to focus on.
What would that be like if you had a music industry coach in your corner to talk to regularly about your career, rather than feeling like you’re doing this alone (or that you’re weighing down your partner).
Someone who understands the particular challenges of the music business. A guide that helps you clarify ideas and plans, break through the doubts or barriers holding you back, see new perspectives, and keep you laser-focused on your goals - so you can move forward.
I created Thrive to help you be the success you’re meant to be - because I firmly believe that the music created by independent artists is needed in an industry often dominated by the mainstream. And you deserve to support yourself doing what you love.
When you coach with me you’ll get a unique blend of life and career coaching, personal development, and music industry mentoring (plus a sprinkling of spiritual wisdom). It’s the recipe to unlock your full potential and get your music career to the next level
Hey listen, I wish I was an artist but nope, I can’t play a tune to save my life and I’m left-brained. (Meaning: helping musicians set clear goals, have more structure and step into their confidence is my super-power). I know firsthand how vital it is to live out your purpose - hell, I even left a dream job as a club booker to follow my calling to support artists in a more impactful way.
Just like you, I've had to juggle working on the creative and business sides, face my fears head-on, put myself out there, and pave my own path. I’ve experienced similar hurdles and totally get what you're going through, and I'm here to share tools and techniques that will help you set yourself up for success.
And you know what? Past clients walked this path too and achieved remarkable results. They've worked with world-class producers, boosted their income, had label releases, and landed managers. All of this is possible for you, too.

Mentoring topics include: how to network or pitch yourself to venues or managers, defining your artist identity, navigating relationships with music professionals…

I’m a life & career coach for musicians and I trained with the Coaches Training Institute (accredited by the International Coach Federation). My sessions include tried & tested tools and techniques from fields such as NLP, positive psychology and spirituality. I understand the ins and outs of the music industry after having worked in it for 15 years, and my experience in coaching artists specifically means you’ll speed up the process of overcoming common issues and blocks faced by creatives.

If most of your frustrations stem from where your music career is at, and you know you need bespoke support and accountability, coaching is a great solution. This is a safe space for you to explore and self-reflect, feel challenged as well as encouraged, acknowledge your strengths and take action, so you create momentum. In this 1-1 container, we’ll work together on your unique aspirations, and everything you share with me is strictly confidential.

Investing in yourself and your career can feel scary (i’ve been there!). It also shows you’re serious about your music career and committed to get to where you want to be - because a new level requires a new level of you.
