Working with Jared at Modern Musician has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very first conversation, he’s been professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. He takes the time to listen, provide clear guidance, and share his knowledge in a way that feels both inspiring and actionable. What really stands out is Jared’s passion and authenticity, he’s not just going through the motions, he truly cares about musicians and their growth. Every interaction left me feeling supported, motivated, and more confident about my path forward. If you’re serious about elevating your music career, you’ll be in great hands with Jared. Highly recommend!

My email list had been limping along for *years* with 51 people on it, and I knew 50 of them personally. I discovered Modern Musician and they helped me set up an elegant automated system with ads. Less than 5 months later, my list now has over 1'000 people on it. It feels like a miracle, but in reality it's the incredible people at Modern Musician who've built a system that truly empowers indie artists. Shout outs in particular to Aaron, technical wizard and role model for how a customer-focused business operates -- and to Jared, for his endless patience and commitment to my success. This team will restore your faith in what's possible for you as an indie musician and support you all the way. If you're in despair and wondering if you'll ever be able to build an audience, you need Modern Musician.

I am so grateful for my session with Aaron today. I was feeling especially stressed with many responsibilities and a personal loss and he gave me an honest, yet compassionate reflection and then was super efficient with moving our launch forward. The coaches at Modern Musician not only are musicians themselves, they also have the life experience to support artists in their journey towards a rewarding music career at a time when the landscape of the music business can be especially challenging. I am excited to be part of this community creating powerful, high quality music for people who appreciate it and support artists.

I have cancelled my subscription over 2 years ago and they’re trying to charge my account out of the blue. They are very hard to get ahold of. I’ve been trying to get ahold of them to remove this “automatic $10 renewal” feature that I did not enable, and there’s no drop down available otherwise to remove it. Thankfully it’s on an old debit card that’s since expired and been shredded. I wish they would have an easier system to get in touch when someone chooses to cancel.

Michael introduced me to Ringo Starr in person which was pretty awesome

Personalized, super reactive and amazing service. Only good words for all members of Modern Musician team.

Joining Modern Musician has been a game-changer for us — truly transformative. Michael Walker leads with humility and heart, driven by a genuine passion to revolutionize the music industry. The entire team is not only incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected, but they’ve also become like family to us. This is more than just a business — it’s a movement created by musicians, for musicians. And together, we’re not just participating in the industry — we’re helping to reshape it and we feel truly blessed to be a part of this family. Thank you all at Modern Musician for making our time in Orlando so memorable, connecting, and transformative.

My experience with Modern Musician has been amazing. That's almost an understatement, because in some ways it's been life changing. I love how much they all truly care about you and your progress - because they've all been there themselves. I love the fact that Michael and the whole team cares to make improvements ALL the time on their software, in their teachings and always strives to do better in every aspect. They ask for feedback daily, on their page, after every coaching call etc. And they make actual changes for the better (constantly) because of it! That's how you know they care. That's how you know that what they are teaching you isn't just fancy words - they absolutely practice what they preach. And I just love that about them. Their honest dedication to actually help people turn their music into a business and a career. With that said, they're not gonna do the work for you (although so much of their software and coaching is beyond helpful and does more than you'd think) but it's still up to you to do the work and implement the necessary steps to your music career and figure out how to best use them to your advantage. But they do help, SO MUCH with the process of setting you up for life. That is my experience. It takes time and it's not a walk in the park and you need to be accountable for your own actions and the amount of work you put in. The work you put in equals what you gain and with their help, it really makes a difference. And I couldn't be asking for more, I am so profoundly happy with all that they've done for me. I especially have a warm shout out to Jared Christianson, since he was the coach I met with the most. He has been completely invaluable to me and to my progress throughout this entire experience. I bombarded him with questions at every coaching call, because I wanted to make the most of every session, and not only did I get all the help I needed - he always gave me the best advice and showed me more ways than one of how to proceed with every thing I asked about. And if he couldn't help me during the call with some technical error or something, he always made sure he and the team took care of it as soon as possible and checked up on me to see that everything was in order. I have so much love and affection to Jared and the entire team of Modern Musician. Thank you guys so much for caring and creating one of the best music communities I've ever been in!
