I went to the masterclass. I learn nothing and did not get the freebie that was promised in the beginning of the call. It was stated in the beginning that "this is not like those other masterclasses or webinars", literally stating that they're "not here to do commercial". This was the only thing this masterclass consisted of. It also took this dude 3 HOURS. The dummest thing I've spent that much time on in years.

I am a rising artist and started the Gold Master mind course not knowing what to expect. Not even knowing if it was a legitimate learning opportunity or not. After finishing the course, I have been able to successfully grow my fan base significantly. But the benefits received by this experience doesn’t stop there. I have active fan engagement, learned how to correctly set up social media ads, monetize music, my music streaming is even increasing. And that’s just the start!!

The process was eye-opening. I have led many organizations primarily from an operational capacity. This program made me step outside of that context and create a customer centric process, clearly laid out for me to understand. The people and the culture are outstanding. Everyone is committed to helping and seeing musicians succeed. I love being a part of a community that truly values the success of the client. Every musician in the program offers ideas and suggestions that have been gained via experience. Everyone helps everyone, because each of us have unique fans. It is truly an inspiring program that directs the musician to a servant leadership approach. I love this approach as well as this strong, caring, and committed community of musicians.

Modern Musician sells a tactical strategy that can be very effective for certain kinds of personalities and musicians. If your audience is one that expects and buys merch, that’s great. And if the direct appeal works for your audience and you, even better. For a solo female artist this approach was not for me…The customer service is attentive enough but also not too good — they want to drive you to the pricier “gold” level. I found customer service to be very friendly and supportive. But the software while having lofty aims does not deliver. There are better CRM programs and way better email programs — I just didn’t have enough experience and didn’t do research, so believed their statistics and pricing comparisons. The social media integrations are not as functional as others and for a small band pretty unnecessary. I learned a lot from this business, most of it being how to sell because they did such a great job of it. I truly got a lot of value just seeing how they operated. I have since moved to an email service with a way better delivery rate (that I never would have sought out of this hadn't been such a failure!) and changed my strategy altogether. I’ll let you know if I end up finding the master strategy but I think it’s a better course of action. I’m writing this to provide someone else with a little more color on the MM experience from someone who was really invested and implementing for 3+ months — I’m happy for those who have had this approach and community work for them and their music but it was not something that worked for me despite best efforts. Best of luck ~

I learned so much in my past several months at Modern Musician. Getting to know StreetTeam in detail has been rewarding; but moreover, learning the marketing concepts that drive the machinery has been invaluable: and will continue to help be develop and grow the business-side of my music. It's been rewarding to create my Starter-Pack merchandise, and to see some of the start to move. Once I have a new logo to move with, I will be upping my physical offers, which I am excited about too! Although I still have some funnel steps (especially those high-ticket offers) to complete and build-out, I feel confident in the knowledge of how to do this, from design to implementation to testing and tweaking. Beyond the technical side of building-out the StreetTeam systems, I gained a lot from the concepts that really drive everything: daily habits and routines; goal setting and tracking; relationship building with our fans. Re-warming my old email list was also rewarding. Creating robust welcome and nurture email sequences has fostered great points of connection, with new and old fans/friends alike. As stated in some of the final trainings, I feel like things are not ending, but indeed just getting started! A big part of my goal to join MM when I did was to have these systems up and running before I release music (with my premiere dropping tomorrow, 8/11/2023!), so I wouldn't have to figure all of this out during or after release. I feel like I am both ready to grow and expand—and well in-place to reach followers, current StreetTeam members, and new fans alike. Thank You Modern Musician!!!

This program was awesome! It is laid out to make everything very simple and the instructors all know the system like the back of their hand. Everything the said would happen has happened.

We felt so much support in the process. You pushed us to achieve everything we needed to do! The coaches are amazing!!! they always make you feel you can achieve anything!

Love them. Every one on their team seems to be so humble and down to earth.
