GBSave Your Money My advice is to save your money. Yes they are very nice people and deliver what they say they will. That said, the question is... is it worth 5K? NO!!!!! The problem is that they offer very little support other than the one hour one on one sessions which in most cases are really 25 minutes and are rushed. Try to get an answer to your questions (and you will have plenty of them) and you are OUT OF LUCK. Submit a ticket and maybe you get a response within 24 hours and it usually doesn't answer your question but refers you to a video (that you've already watched) or to the daily sessions but good luck trying to get your question answered there. The Facebook page is also a joke. It's mostly Michael Walker asking for wins but very little useful interaction. Don't be taken in by the "Manychat" feature. From my perspective it is far too confusing and convoluted and highly impersonal. I expected more out of this program and was truly disappointed. When I brought it up to them they were compassionate and offered me some free bonus sessions. Yes, they agreed with my concerns in a very nice manner but sadly however they did not provide me with any real answers. :((

GBA perspective to consider Modern Musician sells a tactical strategy that can be very effective for certain kinds of personalities and musicians. If your audience is one that expects and buys merch, that’s great. And if the direct appeal works for your audience and you, even better. For a solo female artist this approach was not for me…The customer service is attentive enough but also not too good — they want to drive you to the pricier “gold” level. I found customer service to be very friendly and supportive. But the software while having lofty aims does not deliver. There are better CRM programs and way better email programs — I just didn’t have enough experience and didn’t do research, so believed their statistics and pricing comparisons. The social media integrations are not as functional as others and for a small band pretty unnecessary. I learned a lot from this business, most of it being how to sell because they did such a great job of it. I truly got a lot of value just seeing how they operated. I have since moved to an email service with a way better delivery rate (that I never would have sought out of this hadn't been such a failure!) and changed my strategy altogether. I’ll let you know if I end up finding the master strategy but I think it’s a better course of action. I’m writing this to provide someone else with a little more color on the MM experience from someone who was really invested and implementing for 3+ months — I’m happy for those who have had this approach and community work for them and their music but it was not something that worked for me despite best efforts. Best of luck ~

GBThe best investment you can make in your music career. The Modern Musician program has been completely transformative for my career as a musician. It has taken my just-for-kicks level project into a full scale, viable business with a reach that I never would have thought possible. The MM team combines leading edge tech with marketing know-how and expert peer-to-peer coaching for the most well-rounded, holistic solutions available to musicians. If you're a musician with strong material but lack of know-how to promote it, give yourself this gift and invest. You will be glad you did.

GBModern Musician is giving new life to our music business Modern Musician is giving new life to our music business! They provide personalized in-depth training for all aspects of our work (and life) as musical artist's and de-mystify the on-line experience and opportunities therein. Emerging from an old business paradigm, the scope and quality of what Modern Musician provides is exactly what we need to bring us fully into the modern era . We could not be more grateful! Newly graduated from the Gold Artist Academy the path is laid out before us.... this is fun! Narayan & Janet

GBThe staff and coaches at Modern… The staff and coaches at Modern Musician are all very knowledgeable and friendly. Their Gold Artists program is superb. I highly recommend it to any musician looking to step up their musician business and take it to the next level.
