Authentic Team of people Michael Walker and his team is the real authentic deal! The amount of knowledge that was and is learned went above and beyond what was expected. I would not be where I am at without this teams expertise, Ari and Logan have been amazing support, I still have a lot to learn moving forward but I am extremely grateful for Modern Musician.

A perspective to consider 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 ~

Save Your Money My advice is to save your money. Yes they are very nice people and deliver what they say they will. That said, the question is... is it worth 5K? NO!!!!! The problem is that they offer very little support other than the one hour one on one sessions which in most cases are really 25 minutes and are rushed. Try to get an answer to your questions (and you will have plenty of them) and you are OUT OF LUCK. Submit a ticket and maybe you get a response within 24 hours and it usually doesn't answer your question but refers you to a video (that you've already watched) or to the daily sessions but good luck trying to get your question answered there. The Facebook page is also a joke. It's mostly Michael Walker asking for wins but very little useful interaction. Don't be taken in by the "Manychat" feature. From my perspective it is far too confusing and convoluted and highly impersonal. I expected more out of this program and was truly disappointed. When I brought it up to them they were compassionate and offered me some free bonus sessions. Yes, they agreed with my concerns in a very nice manner but sadly however they did not provide me with any real answers. :((

Trust the process. It works!! 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!!

Great People that truly care about who… Great People that truly care about who you are as a person and how they can help you be the best version of yourself so you can in turn go and serve your fans better than you could have before. All the coaches are top notch and give honest feedback about how you are the artist can serve your fans better. It's been the best experience I have ever had with coaching in the music business.
