Webinar and Mentoring for Self-releasing Musicians and Composers

Webinar – £25

Book Now 13th, 17th and 18th June

“This was really generously informative, well-researched and backed up by loads of experience – if you’re interested in releasing your own music, I strongly recommend it!”

Stuart MacRae (composer)

2pm, 13th June

11am, 17th June

7.30pm, 17th June

11am, 18th June

The webinar will last 90 minutes and is designed to give a broad overview of what steps you need to take to self-release your music. I will talk about:

  • A general introduction to releasing music, digital distribution and streaming
  • Setting a realistic budget (income and expenditure)
  • Preparing for and running recording sessions
  • How to get your music on the major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer etc.)
  • Various rights and registrations that you need to know about to ultimately get paid
  • Using the artist analytics dashboards

The webinar will be £25 per person with a limited of 10 per session to allow for questions.

“Learn from the expert”

Ruta Vitkauskaite (composer)

Choose your date below and I will send you a Zoom link in advance of the session.

Session dates are:

2pm, 13th June

11am, 17th June

7.30pm, 17th June

11am, 18th June

Over the years I have spent quite a lot of time researching how to record, self-release and market my music. I’ve built up an average of around 2,000 listeners a month on Spotify and through self-releasing have had total creative control over the release. I haven’t had to deal with a label or sign away any future earnings and in return I keep all of the financial gain. Though I do admit it is a lot of work and is a risk in itself.

If you are thinking of releasing your own music, you might currently feel like me at the start – that it is a total impenetrable minefield, and it can be! But I want to share my knowledge and experiences to help you release your music into the world. If you are interested in attending a webinar or having a one on one mentoring session to learn how, then book now.

Session dates are:

2pm, 13th June

11am, 17th June

7.30pm, 17th June

11am, 18th June

“Thanks to @mwhiteside for his webinar on self-releasing your music. Clear and helpful presentation on the steps to take re planning, licensing, marketing and releasing.”

Katherine Wren (viola – RSNO)

Online Mentoring – £75

If you are already someone who has done a lot of research into self-releasing but wants a bit more information, you just want some one to one assistance from someone who has been through the process or you’ve been to my webinar and want to get into more detail. Get in touch for a mentoring session.

This will be much more bespoke and dependant on what you need and want to know. If you have been to a webinar then you will get £25 discount on your first session. These mentoring sessions will also be online and will last up to 90 mins. Get in touch to discuss details and to work out a time.
