What you'll learn

  • find a niche genre that they fit into
  • create their very own home studio
  • successfully brand themselves as a producer
  • promote their music to a wide audience
  • network with other producers and grow their name
  • perform their music publicly

Requirements

  • You should have a computer
  • You should have a basic musical understanding
  • You should have a genuine interest in the music industry
  • You should want to become a successful music producer

Description

This course is a simple step-by-step guide on how you can become a successful music producer in a competitive industry.

At the end of this course, you will have learned about all the necessary tools that you will need in order to become a successful producer:

  • Organising and structuring your musical brand
  • Creating captivating and interesting content
  • Setting up a high quality professional home studio
  • Networking and creating invaluable contacts with other producers
  • Exploring different genres and which niche sub-genre you fit into

This is a course worth taking if you have a passion for creating music and want to spread it with a wider audience, and even make money from it through signing major deals with record labels to simply getting a job as a DJ.

What I've done is simplify what can be a confusing and troubling path through unknown territory in this cutthroat musical industry, so that pretty much anyone can become a successful music producer.

Who this course is for:

  • This course is intended for those people who love music and what to be a part of the process and begin making a name for themselves in the industry.
  • This course isn't for those people who are looking to specifically learn how to use a piece of music production software.
  • This course is intended for those people who wish to learn more about the business side of becoming a successful music producer, rather than the technical side.
