Self-Release Webinars
I regularly run 90-minute webinars designed to guide musicians through the self-release process, covering everything from budgeting to streaming. We’ll look at how to set realistic budgets for recording sessions, upload your music to platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and secure the rights and registrations you need to ensure you get paid. With insights into using artist analytics dashboards, each session offers a practical roadmap to confidently bring your music to the world. Book your space below:
