I really enjoyed this Program I really enjoyed this Program. Some of my huge take aways was to build relationships with people that like creating music like me and how important the Motif is to music. The things I would have like to have seen; that everyones music put into the DAW so we can solo the songs and hear the difference and make adjustments (like oh wow I like how this person kick or bass sounds etc; this would have been definitely helpful during mastering week) even though we got all of our songs reviewed, comparing the ‘sonics’ and others song choices a little closer would have been more efficient and effective. I believe one of the things that the music community ‘as a whole’ is missing is “yeah everyone can hear what plugin or vst that pro is using, but the sound selection and sonic comprehension is just as important” and that should have been the main driving point because how sounds are sitting and moving inside the speakers are what drives people to listen.

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.

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!
