Music Career Accelerator is a very unique coaching experience, designed to focus on only what YOU need to elevate you music career, from producing your music to building your network to creating a sustainable income.

You're willing to do the work to build a fulfilling music career.


I want you to get results. And enjoy the journey. And make the music you want to make.

These Aren't Your Basic Weekly Coaching Calls

Don't plan to sit there with your camera off, waiting for something relevant to happen. We're calling on you, you're sharing your screen, and we are getting to work!

You're invited to two weekly, in-depth group coaching calls with our Grammy-winning, platinum-selling team, for 90 days!

Music Production, Songwriting & Creativity

Every week you will share your screen and audio in a small breakout session, and receive 1:1 mentorship on this call. These aren't lectures where you raise your hand and hope to ask a question. These are in depth coaching sessions on your recording project. The bonus is, you get to be a fly on the wall while our team works with some of your peers as well! 

Master your creativity with inspiring, idea-generation  prompts from our platinum-selling, Grammy-winning team of songwriters and producers, then head into your assigned Music Production breakout room for individualized coaching in your DAW, sharing your screen and audio.

Artist Development & Community Marketing


I've done more than 1,000 music career road maps in the last 5 years alone, and not one of them is exactly the same. Artists are unique, and this journey is deeply personal. If you want an artist to succeed you have to know who they are, what they want out of life, what motivates them, and most importantly... what type of art do they really, truly want to make (so much that it feels like breathing). - Melissa Mulligan

In Week 1, you'll clarify all of your goals and questions with Mel, and then we're off! You'll move into her very unique Artist Identity Road Mapping process, which will become the foundation of all of the music making, portfolio building, social media, music marketing, networking, community building, industry conversations and music career launch planning you'll do.

We have deep conversations in these sessions, on everything from mindset resets to marketing to sustainable incomes, generating industry interest and creating fan funnels. These sessions are led by Melissa Mulligan and often feature special guests from the music industry.

"I feel like I have so many ideas and so many sounds and interesting things going on in my head, and I didn't know how to create them.

And because of Mastermind, specifically, I now know how to do that."

Music Career Mastermind gives artists a chance to move forward with their careers by establishing their own road map to success. It's also a place where you're able to collaborate and hear feedback in real time which certainly helps get through the inevitable writer's block since you're enveloped by a community of people who are just as driven as you. 

I'm just so happy it exists now for creatives who deserve a chance to learn the honest truth and be able to grow without being hindered by the myths of the music industry.

Mastermind is the inner voice you need to tell yourself "| got this! My music needs to be heard! I am an artist that is in control of my career and nothings going to stop me from doing what I love!

- Caitlin Kalafus
Recording Artist and World Touring Drummer for artists such as:
Cyndi Lauper
Late Night with Seth Meyers
Cavetown
Jill Sobule
The Naked and Famous
Tessa Violet
Allison Ponthier... and many more

I have been pretty nervous about how my songs and arrangements would stand up against the big artists, but I'm finding that our signature sound and our high quality production definitely stands up against most of the major artists being produced in Nashville today. The future is bright!

I'm not competing with 60,000 tracks uploaded per day. I'm really competing against myself, the quality of my craft, and my ability to properly promote myself.

That mindset shift in itself was a huge factor that increased my motivation.

It's a concept that I learned in your course, but was solidified here in my real music world over the last 6 months.

The response to all of our live shows is nothing short of phenomenal... I could not be happier with the response!"

- Jeremy

I wouldn't be as focused and confident with my path if I didn't have Mel's guidance along the way. I am forever grateful to the Mastermind team for fostering a community that encourages growth and compassion which has allowed me to grow as an artist, musician, and person.

After completing the program, I just couldn't get enough of the information and people I was surrounded by, so l immersed myself in other Mastermind programs.

The knowledge I've gained from all of these programs alone is worth every penny, but the connections I've made with instructors and fellow students are simply priceless.

“I AM A Self Sufficient Creativity Machine!” - You put this thought in my head...

Ever since I’ve been saying it to myself daily, and writing it in my daily planner journal. I’m so grateful for all the opportunities you’ve provided. I’m always so inspired by the other artists in the Mastermind community.

Mike and Skip changed my life for the best! Thank you for connecting me with new friends. I'm beyond excited to put work into my musical craft and my musical business ideas!

I feel 10 times more intelligent, confident, and creative since knowing you I look forward to more fun, musical collaborations and growing together more!

Zac

I have participated in several Mastermind programs, all of which have substantially improved my knowledge of the industry and the skills required to succeed.

I really enjoyed each class and I look forward to more continuous growth in my artistry. I appreciate the engagement and support provided by all of the instructors.

The whole Mastermind community has encouraged me to strive to become the best artist I can be.

Justin

Before I took these programs I told myself I would never be able to produce and market my art without somebody doing it for me...

I couldn't have done it without Mastermind.

I have met some of my closest friends through this program and have met teachers that I will respect and love until the day I die.

At the end of the day, Melissa teaches her students how to be themselves and how to create art that is authentic to you, and as artists and students, that is all we could hope for.
