ARTIST DEVELOPMENT MENTORSHIP
WINTER SEMESTER COURSES START JANUARY 27, 2025
Making killer music is great, but many artists struggle with the next steps: building a brand, reaching their intended audience, building momentum, and communicating with fans, labels, promo networks, and other artists.
In this course, you'll be given targeted, specific recommendations to help you grow, develop, and thrive in the music landscape. Evoke will focus on YOUR music, YOUR strengths, and YOUR career to help you reach the next level, whatever that means for you. After completing this course, you'll have a comprehensive online presence, a concrete way to communicate with others, basic media training, a list of specific recommendations based on your goals, and anything else you need to be able to take off as an artist. If you're ready to get things started, this is the course for you.
