“You show up expecting brutal honesty from experienced individuals in the industry and that’s exactly what you get. Never have a group of self-managed artists felt the urge to delete their full repertoire for the sake of their future than now. The seminar loaded with a lot more than ‘Basics’ covered fundamentals in publishing, breaking out as an artist, how to weigh your time as a manager and an artist, where to put your focus as a manager and so much more. Highly recommended to anyone who feels they need further movement in their musical journey. ”
“I had a great feeling in my heart when I was walking out from “back to basics” yesterday. I knew I had most of the attributes we’ve talked about: goal, vision, commitment , good work ethic and most important I know who I am and what I stand for! All I need to work on is a step by step plan to make my dreams into reality. I would love to join MMF , thank you for organising this event. Please can you let me know how I can get a student discount? I’m a second year student at Ara Music Arts. ”
“Lorraine and Mel Parsons provided a brilliant entry understanding to some of the hardships in the music industry and what growing in your musicianship would look with the help MMF can offer.
I found this to be compelling and insightful and I will definitely be signing up. ”
