{ made for musicians }

{ MX4 } is a tried-and-true, proven six module results-driven course designed specifically for you. You will transform how you work at your music career in SIX WEEKS and become unrecognizable to yourself... STARTING TODAY!
 

How would it feel if you could...

... make the connections you need with ease?
... wake up every day and do something you loved?
... pay ALL of your bills from your music career?
... not stress about filling seats at shows, funding your next project, or developing your music business relationships?
... have control of your own music career?

You're not dreaming.
You absolutely CAN have the career of your dreams.

Clarity. Strategy. Action. Results.

This is { MX4 }.

And here's why you need { MX4 }:

  • You are overwhelmed, underpaid, spinning your wheels, not sure where to start to get unstuck. All of the things.
  • You're exhausted from (and seriously hate) trying to get people to come to your shows or buy your music. Ex.Haus.Ted.
  • Let's be honest- it's easy to find out all the ways to make money, but it's scary as heck to know where to start, and know what will work for YOU.
  • Money. Fans. Connections. Strategy. The four magic words that, if you had them, you'd be GOLDEN.
  • You're for real starting to get disheartened by and cynical about the music industry, maybe even resenting it!

If you are nodding your head faster than 120 BPM, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!

YOU WILL GET OVERWHELMED
(because you're human)

YOU WILL HATE THE BIZ SIDE OF STUFF
(because you're a musician)

YOU WILL WANT A BREAK
(yep, human/musician)

AND

YOU WILL WANT $ COMING IN WHILE ON VACATION OR WRITING THAT NEW RECORD
(because bills)

HELLO, UNSTOPPABLE!

I'm so glad you're taking the time to explore what it could be like if you started to get the results you really wanted. It took me YEARS as an indie, DIY singer-songwriter trying ALL OF THE THINGS to book successful tours, fan fund records, and get my music placed on TV shows. Ultimately, it worked, and I started to see what things did not work.

I created this course because so many other musicians started asking me what I was doing to sustain a full-time music career. I decided to get some actual training as a career coach, so not only am I able to share MY experiences and what I know about the current music industry, but I can also really get what is blocking YOU, and address that directly. (I promise it's not because you haven't heard of the latest crowd-funding website, though we'll get into that too.)

Oh, I'm also a branding geek. I got my start writing jingles for commercials and learned a LOT about advertising and marketing. I bring that geekiness to this course so you can tighten up your social media, website, and HOW you communicate your music aspirations to the world... and this is THE THING that makes the WORLD of difference that no one else in the music business is really talking about.

I'm ready. Sign me up.

This Program...

"In the MX4 class I received help with many tangible things such as website design, marketing and branding but also intangibles such as focus, direction and clarity on where I am heading. I would recommend this course to anyone who feels like they are treading water in their music career. Cheryl will provide you with the tools and encouragement you need to create forward momentum."

Jase Hackman
Singer-Songwriter

"I absolutely loved this course. It helped me organize my intention so I could be a better leader for my band mates. A few of the sessions and homework's really helped us become a stronger team and the work with Cheryl along with the guest speakers did a wonder in helping us tackle some giants on the business end of our music career."

Lor "Blackey"
Singer- Songwriter, lead vocalist "Midnight Mob"

"Cheryl's MX4 course helped me hone in on the complete picture of who I am as an artist and how to represent that confidently and consistently. It also forced me to do away with my never ending to-do list and form a healthy working relationship with my calendar which has made the daily hustle of an artist's life much less overwhelming. By solidifying my branding as an artist and laying out all my goals, big and small, I achieved a lot in a relatively short amount of time, including my brand new website!"

Charise "Lake Lady" Sowells
Singer-Songwriter

"Before MX4 I had a career plan and path that I wanted to go down, but didn't know what tools to use. MX4 has given me to tools and many more!"

Nathan Burns

The tools and techniques Cheryl has organized, outline a powerful system for removing obstacles and focusing on what is truly important to me as an individual. Working together with a group of dedicated students made the whole experience inspiring, entertaining, and personally fulfilling."

"MX4 really has become the brick and mortar to build a stable bridge to get me to my goal. I've learned SO much over the course of the six weeks. The things I learned in this course were the things I needed to revitalize my solo career as a singer-songwriter as well as my drive to perform. The time has flown by, but I've done a huge amount of work in that time including having a new website, a new Facebook Page with over 200+ likes, and reaching my goal of earning $1500 in performances in 6 weeks! It's a wild ride and one I don't plan on getting off of anytime soon! I believe this course is a life changer..."
