Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is this program?
This is a 3 phase mentorship designed for you to complete in 3 months or go at your own pace. The program helps guide independent artists and industry professionals through a proven release system — helping you, or your artist, build a sustainable music career, not just drop a song into the abyss.
How is this different from a course?
This is a mentorship, not a passive course. You’ll get real-time access to industry experts, live calls, direct feedback, and support throughout the program.
Who is this program for?
It’s for artists, managers, or teams ready to take control of their release process — whether you’re preparing to launch your first single or want to clean up your existing strategy.
Do I need to have music ready to release?
Not necessarily — we help you get everything aligned before release. Some students join to prepare, others join mid-campaign and adjust on the fly.
What if I’ve released music before and it didn’t go well?
Perfect — we’ll help you identify what went wrong and rebuild your process using a system that actually works.
How much time should I plan to commit each week?
Expect to spend 2–3 hours per week on lessons, weekly calls, and implementation. You’ll get out what you put in — but it’s designed to be manageable, even with a day job.
When are the live calls?
We host a weekly 1-hour community call called Monday Mass. All calls are recorded and available to replay anytime.
Do I have to attend live?
Nope — but live participation is encouraged for personalized support and networking with your cohort.
What kind of support will I get?
You’ll have access to the founders (Michelle and Sophie), industry guest mentors, weekly Q&A sessions, community support, and feedback on your music, brand, and strategy.
What kind of results can I expect?
While results vary, past artists have left with a clear release roadmap, improved branding, tighter marketing, and new opportunities in press, playlisting, and fan engagement — all within 60–90 days.
Will you help me get on playlists or sign a deal?
We don’t promise placements or deals — we teach you how to build systems that attract those opportunities organically and sustainably.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes — if you don’t see any meaningful progress in 90 days and have fully engaged with the program, we’ll either refund your investment or offer continued mentorship until you do.
