Start here: Why I made this course for you.6:45
Let me tell you about my grandma.
She was an opera singer, but her career ended suddenly when doctors accidentally hurt her vocal cords during surgery.
Her story taught me that things you love can be taken away in an instant.
That’s why I care so much about helping artists build careers that last.
I’ve been through the musician’s struggle too. I toured the US, got 500k streams on MySpace, and learned the hard way that passion alone doesn’t pay the bills.
Later, I worked in the corporate world with brands like Lufthansa and Porsche.
That’s where I discovered how AI could solve the same problems that made me give up on my music dreams.
Here’s the truth: You don’t need AI to make music or find fans.
But if you want to build a career that lasts, you can’t do everything alone.
Big artists have whole teams behind them.
With AI, you can level the playing field.
Let’s turn your passion into a career that works.
Without burning out or losing what makes your art special.
The future of music is here. It’s time to claim your place in it.
5 reasons why being an artist is harder than ever today.7:10
The music industry is changing faster than ever.
In this lesson, I’ll show you 5 big challenges artists face today and how AI can help you stand out.
1. The overwhelming competition:
Over 120,000 songs are uploaded to Spotify every day. It’s hard to get noticed when listeners skip through songs so quickly, always looking for the next hit.
2. Financial challenges:
Streaming services pay almost nothing per stream. Even with lots of streams, many artists can’t make enough to live on. They have to find other ways to make money.
3. The AI-powered creator boom:
By 2030, there could be 200 million creators making music with AI tools. That’s up from 75 million in 2022. More creators mean more competition—and new problems, like fake streams.
4. The storytelling burden:
Great music isn’t enough anymore. Artists need to be great storytellers too, building a brand that connects with fans. This can take time away from making music.
5. The Social Media treadmill:
Artists are expected to post constantly to stay relevant.
But keeping up with algorithms and trends can feel like a full-time job, leaving less time for creativity.
Why this matters now:
The music industry is at a turning point.
But here’s the good news: AI can help.
It can give you the tools to compete like a big artist with a full team.
AI can handle the boring stuff, so you can focus on what makes your music special.
Let’s turn your passion into a career that works—without losing what makes your art unique.
Ready to try a new way of making and sharing music? Let’s get started.
Crash course: Understand ChatGPT better than 99% of the music industry15:54
Let me tell you how AI completely changed the way I think about music and technology.
When I first tried AI tools, I wasn’t sure about them.
But after using them to build The AI Musicpreneur from scratch—and teaching over 100,000 music creators in 2024 —I’ve seen how powerful they can be.
The essential AI toolkit:
For musicians, ChatGPT and Claude can handle 90% of what you need.
Think of ChatGPT as your AI manager. It helps with strategy and planning your career.
Claude is like your PR and social media expert. It’s great at writing posts and managing your online presence.
Alternatively use Deepseek: It's the talk of the town and currently blows ChatGPT and Claude out of the water.
How to talk to AI:
To get the best results, follow these 5 steps:
Tell the AI its role: Say something like, “Act like a professional content strategist for musicians.”
Be clear about the task: Explain exactly what you want. Avoid being vague.
Set limits: Give details like word count, tone, or style.
Give examples: Share something you like so the AI knows what you’re looking for.
Break it into steps: If the task is big, split it into smaller parts.
How this helps you:
With over 120,000 songs uploaded to Spotify every day, talent alone isn’t enough. AI can help you:
Build a strong brand story.
Create regular social media posts.
Plan marketing strategies.
Research trends in the music industry.
Write emails that fans love.
Pro tip:
When using AI, tell it to “take a deep breath and work step-by-step.”
It sounds funny, but it helps the AI think more clearly and give better answers.
By learning these tools, you’ll feel like you have a whole team working for you—even if you’re doing it all on your own.
