Consultancy for artists & teams
Calm, practical support on strategy, structure and next steps - especially when things feel busy, unclear, or high-stakes.
I combine big-picture strategy with hands-on industry experience - so you leave with clear decisions, not more noise.Free vibe check

What / How / Who
A quick snapshot of what we’ll focus on, how sessions run, and who this is most helpful for.
What I help with
- Direction and priorities (what matters now)
- Release planning and timelines
- Team + partnerships (labels, distribution, PR, agents)
- Funding, budgets and practical next steps
- Confidence, clarity and accountability
How it works
- 60-minute sessions via video call
- We focus on the highest-impact next steps
- You leave with a clear plan and priorities
- Optional follow-ups and templates if useful
- Support shaped around where you actually are
Who it’s for
- You want a calm plan, not more noise
- You’re releasing music and need structure
- You’re stuck or overwhelmed and want clarity
- You want honest feedback from someone experienced
- You want momentum without burnout
Why this hybrid works
Sessions are practical, honest and tailored - whether we solve specific problems, reset direction or build confidence.
- You get someone to help you think (coaching).
- Someone who understands the industry (mentoring).
- Someone who can show you what to actually do (consulting).
Consulting
Practical next steps and systems.
This is where we make things specific - what to do next, what to ignore, and how to build a plan you can actually follow.
Outcome: structured actions, priorities and a clear route forward.
Mentoring
Lived industry context & guidance.
Real-world perspective from 20+ years across management, labels, distribution, publishing, live and partnerships, so you’re not guessing.
Outcome: honest feedback, better decisions and stronger positioning.
Coaching
Clarity, confidence and momentum.
Space to zoom out, get out of your own head, and move forward with less overwhelm - especially when things feel stuck or high-pressure.
Outcome: calmer focus and renewed momentum.
