I'm Ready - Enroll Now😓 Are you tired of feeling stuck and confused?
You're dying to compose music for film, animation, and/or games, but nothing's come your way yet.
Here's some of the things you've probably tried so far:
- 🎬 Trying to get your music to sound "professional"
- 🎶 Posting your music on your site or social media
- 📩 Sending a few emails to directors/producers/composers
- 🔎 Googling "composer jobs" and applying to whatever you find
But no matter what you try, nothing seems to be working. It's frustrating, confusing, and just plain exhausting.
And worst of all...
... you feel like you're wasting time trying to figure it all out on your own.
I feel your pain. 👋
In 2015, I graduated from composition college thinking that my degree and four years of hard work at school would be all I needed to get my career off the ground...
... but fast forward five years later to 2020, and I barely had any composing work.
(And the composing gigs I DID have paid nearly nothing.)
I literally thought I'd tried everything - writing an album, sending cold emails, filling out job applications, making content, attending conventions and networking events - and none of it had worked.
But there was one thing that I hadn't tried yet - something so simple that it had never crossed my mind.
I'd never asked anyone for help.
With no options left, that's exactly what I began to do. I reached out to family, friends, colleagues, anyone I could think of - whether they were "in the industry" or not.
And that's when my career transformed.
As I continued asking for help from people I trusted, they began to trust me back. My network expanded quickly, and amazing opportunities began coming my way, including:
- 🚀 Composing the gameplay trailer for Kerbal Space Program 2
- 🐼 Writing additional music for Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight on Netflix
- 🎬 Collaborating with Flashgitz Animation on 30+ cartoon scores
- 🎻 Having a live orchestra record my music for NetEase's Fantasy Westward Journey
- 🤑 Making $80K from composing work in 2022
But none of it would have been possible without developing the skill of building trust and asking for help.
These things SOUND simple to do, but are often very difficult.
"Who do I reach out to?"
"What do I say?"
"What should I do/not do if they don't respond?"
"When should I move on and try someone else?"
"What if they want to hear my music?
"Where should I upload my music?"
"What should I charge?"
"Should I send a contract?"
These are the questions and pain points that completely paralyze composers.
And if you want to start taking action and seeing results right now, you need answers ASAP.
That's why I've created the 🎬 Composing Career Bootcamp.
In this self-paced program, I'll teach you exactly what I did to expand my network, market my music online, negotiate deals, and land paid work as a media composer.
You'll get nearly 200 video lessons over 6 modules, plus a private Discord server where you can connect with students/graduates and a Notion Toolkit containing tons of useful templates and tools.
With the lessons and resources in the 🎬 Composing Career Bootcamp, you'll have everything you need to start landing paid work in weeks - not years.
