My experience with Beat Academy has… My experience with Beat Academy has been great! Beat Academy is a very hands on community who’s members support you by providing feedback. There are plenty of opportunities to collab along with professional syncing opportunities with some big names in the industry. We also participate in monthly calls where we can have a song played and receive live feedback from our teacher Ill Factor, a Grammy winner producer. He’s very knowledgeable about music production and shares liberally on how to improve. There are plenty of courses to take at your own pace on varies subjects too! I won a contest and free membership which was awesome! All around it’s a wonderful community to be apart of as a artist. I’m new to music production and have learned a great deal. Real opportunities. If your thinking about it, it’s DEFINITELY worth it.

Life Changing Experience... This was honestly a life changing course. Even for someone like me with no prior experience other than having scraps of songs in my voice notes. I learned so much from songwriting to mastering and everything in between. The most fundamental form of wealth is the human mind. To be able to have access to and learn from a wealthy mindset such as ill Factor's is priceless. ill Factor is an excellent teacher, patient, always inspiring, highly knowledgable, and highly skilled in his craft. I learned so much from hearing people with great talent and seeing how people earlier in their journey grew. I feel like I'm Batman now, equipped with a utility belt, bat jet, bat mobile, and bat cave. ill Factor and everyone here with their wealthy mindsets was like swimming around Scrooge McDuck's money bin for three months. In other words I in turn became enriched by learning from all these wealthy minds. I learned things I wouldn't have been able to learn myself because I didn't have their insights, knowledge, or experience. I'm very excited indeed for my continued journey.

BA Elite Mentorship Program Testimonial Hello, I go under my artist name Kightzeareau with my music. I have been fortunate enough to be accepted into the Beat Academy Elite Mentorship program in early 2024, under the watchful eye of Grammy award winning producer Ivan "Ill Factor" Corraliza. The road to the mentorship program was a long one, I took up the Beat Academy courses back in 2021, learning solo, the foundations that Ivan provided with his courses, I gain the courage to voice the music that I have always wanted to create. With a couple personal singles and personal 6 song EP album under my belt, I finally took the plunge and applied for the Elite Mentorship program. I believed as much as I learned on my own, solo, I needed a mentor to help elevate me to the next level, little did I know that Ivan not only wanted to elevate me but also transform my music to the next level. Ivan is the consummate professional. Every student he takes under his wing will be catered too, with the goals that they have, but Ivan will challenge those goals to make sure you are growing. With a rag tag of diverse musicians around the world also on the call sessions, I got a glimpse of what the world of producing is like, and I not only learned so much from my fellow classmates, but was also had the privilidged to have career professionals in vocal training and mixing and mastering come listen to our calls and give feedback. The program gives as much as you give to it. Ivan is here to help you find your voice and guide you through the woods, not to do the work for you. I am so very grateful to have been able to be mentored by someone, who is so passionate about his craft, that he wants others to be successful in their craft as well. I can't recommend enough for any inspiring artist, at any level, to be able to take this course on their journey into making the music they dreamed about. Ivan has the experience, background and connections to backup and deliver to you the growth you will want in your music. With what I have learned in 3 months, probably saved myself years of headaches and self-problem solving by following Ivan's guidence in the program. I have plans to take what I learn and go out in my journey and see where it takes me. I have no qualms in taking this program again. Making and producing music is a lifelong journey. And having someone like Ill Factor in your corner at any level, at any time, I believe, will set you up for success and wins in your musical journey. Thank you so much, Ivan. God bless you and your good works you have done with Beat Academy and the elite mentorship that you have provided. In my short time in the program, I have no doubt, that many good songs we hear in the media, will be from artists and producers with links to Beat Academy and Ill Factors Mentorship program. Cheers to all of you on your musical journey. I hope to meet you all on top of the mountain!

My thoughts on Beat Academy Beat Academy has been a great addition to my music production education. From the library of resources, to the remakes, to the live listening feedback sessions, and even the community feedback. I've learned a ton from Ill Factor, and really like the way he teaches, and explains what he's demonstrating. I also really appreciate his desire to raise up other producers. It has been a safe place to grow and show my work, and ask questions. I also appreciate that Beat Academy has also addressed issues like creative ruts, self esteem and rejection. It's all been really valuable information. Beat Academy is a solid resource that I reach for again and again on my production journey.

Why I have stuck with Beat Academy I had looked at some other music websites before and they were good, but I didn't hang with them. I came across Beat academy through a web search, signed up and have stuck with it since. Ivan is a very competent producer and a great teacher to go with it. I love his monthly song critique meets on line. whether your song or others are critiqued, I always learn a lot stuff I can be aware of and take to my own music. Ivan is passionate about what he does, loves encouraging people and is never disrespectful to any one. He is also honest and holds you to industry standards. the community is great to hang out with and is another source to encourage and receive encouragement from peers. B.A also provides opportunities to take on projects, collaborations and some professional opportunities. I could go on, but I don't want to write a novel. I would point any one who is serious about music production to sign up to Beat Academy.
