Mentoring session with Raven. I just finished another mentoring session with Raven and she was awesome as usual. We did a six week program consisting lyric writing, editing, rewriting, melody creation and demo creation. We tackled four new songs and they are now in a great place for me to finish them up. She constantly challenges me to go outside of my comfort zone. I've learned a lot and am becoming a better songwriter because of her. I'll definitely be working with Raven again on some upcoming projects.

I did the 6 week mentorship program… I did the 6 week mentorship program and it worked awesome for me. I mainly used for feedback on my own tracks and it helped me drastically. My mentor had really constructive criticism throughout the whole program and he helped get my songs to the level I was looking for. And I love how personnalized the whole thing was. I came in with a set of goals in mind and that's exactly what we did.

YESSSSS This is like Masterclass but if masterclass did courses I actually was interested in. When I saw Ryan Lott of Son Lux did a course on creating sample based instruments, I had to sign up. It honestly was a game changer for me. I’d always been such a timid user of Kontakt, really not knowing how to do things like create my own patches using my own samples. Now I understand that this is the key to developing sounds that are unique to you. Honestly, it was worth it for this course alone, but then I got into the RJD2 sampling course and that was also great. I can’t even remember how I found this website but I’m so happy I did!

The content is really great The content is really great. I feel like my musical skills have been elevated and this is a great option for a high quality content low cost way of learning. The courses challenge you to think outside of just watching videos and they teach you how to get out of online learning. My mentor is super fun, inspired me to try out a new process of songwriting that works best for me, and is very knowledgeable about production. Overall, it's a worthwhile experience!

New perspectives to song writing and production I did a 4 week mentorship with Ian Prince. I brought a few song drafts to our intro session and we narrowed down to one track to focus on for the duration of the mentorship. What an absolute joy it was having him as a teacher. He provided such wisdom, insight, and actionable feedback, and opened my ears and mind to new ways of approaching structure, writing, production, and sonic depth. He guided me through the tools with a very hands-on approach, demoing/screensharing stuff live, and even helped me with specific elements by singing or improving instrumentation examples over my existing tracks. The specificity and concrete demos really helped me understand what he was talking about, in addition to his clear communication even about more abstract elements and concepts. He was so approachable and incredibly generous with his time, and I truly felt inspired throughout the process.
