In this Episode I talk about a tough subject for many Musicians: discussing MONEY.

When it comes to discussing money, many of us find ourselves in uncharted waters, grappling with uncertainty, fear, and even imposter syndrome.

I will give you some tips and tricks to make this much easier.

Let me know if you have any questions/comments, or would be interested in a private online session.

I’ve been hosting this podcast for quite some time now, and I’m thrilled with the success it has achieved so far. However, I’ve noticed that some of my earlier episodes— which are still highly relevant and evergreen—haven’t received as much attention as they deserve. So, I’ve decided to re-upload these valuable episodes to give you another chance to dive into them.

In this episode, I want to talk about something that’s often overlooked but absolutely essential for any serious musician: having your own website.

I know—social media is powerful. But platforms come and go, algorithms change, and relying solely on them means you're building your career on rented land. Your website, on the other hand, is your digital home. It’s the one place online that you fully control, and it speaks volumes about your professionalism.

I’ll share why I believe every musician—whether you're performing, composing, or teaching—needs a website, and how mine has helped me connect with venues, collaborators, and audiences around the world.

In this episode, I dive into a powerful yet often overlooked principle in building a sustainable music career: putting your own artist name out there first. Whether you're collaborating, producing, or performing, making sure your name is visible and credited is key to long-term recognition and growth.

I’ll explain why this mindset shift is essential—not ego-driven, but career-smart—and how it can change the way you're seen (and remembered) in the industry.

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the simplest yet most powerful strategies for boosting your reach on social media: uploading videos natively on Facebook. I’ll share why Facebook’s algorithm heavily favors native uploads over external links like YouTube, and how this little shift can make a massive difference in your engagement. I’ve tested this myself, and the results are real—more views, more interaction, and a stronger connection with your audience.

If you’ve been posting YouTube links on autopilot, it’s time to rethink that habit. Join me as I break down the reasons and share practical tips to help you get the most out of your videos on Facebook.

In this episode I sit down with renowned drummer and educator Philippe Lemm to explore the importance of giving workshops while touring—not just as a way to share knowledge, but also as a valuable income stream for musicians on the road. We discuss how workshops create deeper connections with local music communities, enhance both teaching and performance skills, and provide financial stability while traveling.

Philiipe also has a great online course; "how to book a tour".
