“It also helps if the artists have demonstrated some initiative in putting out some of their own releases or generally can show that they understand what they need to do to help us get the record out there, such as touring and press commitments.”

If you are serious about a career in music, then at some point very soon, you will have to buckle down and get to work. Let’s face it: it’s a tough industry. But like any business, you have to learn: what makes you different; how to kickstart your own original work; and how to market yourself correctly. Luckily, the studio has a great program to help you do just that…

The Professional Artistic Development Program for Singers

Step 1: For an initial registration fee of $80, you can work side by side with our in house songwriter, who will assist you in building your own portfolio of original material. Although ongoing consultation is free, it is limited. So please be aware that you must demonstrate your commitment for creating original material before time can be guaranteed with the songwriter.

Step 2: If you are ready for the next step, and would like to record a professional quality demo, the studio will provide you with access to the finest contemporary producers in Toronto at a competitive rate, who committed to the quality of your recordings.

Step 3: The final step in your artistic development is a Professional Career Consultation, also provided at the studio by an industry consultant. Here, you are provided with uniquely tailored advice to suit your own goals in the industry. Learn about how to build your own distinctive brand, how to attract attention and how to market yourself effectively. The consultant also provides photography services to give you an unparalleled foundation to kickstart your career. The consultation rate is $50 per hour.

If you have any questions regarding the program, please contact the studio.
