Being an independent artist means making decisions about your music, identity, releases, audience and business. It can be difficult to know what to learn first or how all these areas fit together.
The Independent Artist Blueprint brings together practical lessons and guidance to help you understand the different parts of the process and apply them to your own development.
The Independent Artist Blueprint is an online course created by Sean McDermott and James Brister of The Artist Guides.
It provides a structured way to develop your knowledge of artist development and the music business, helping you make more informed decisions as you build your own path as an independent artist.
The three private tutorials provide an opportunity to discuss your own music and development with us, alongside the learning material.
The Blueprint is designed for independent artists working across contemporary music genres.
You may be preparing your first release, developing your artistic identity, or already releasing music and looking for a more structured understanding of the industry.
You can work through the material at your own pace and concentrate on the areas most relevant to your situation.
The course is built on our experience in artist management, music education and artist development.
We’ve worked with artists, songwriters and producers and helped thousands of independent artists develop their music and understanding of the industry.
Our aim is to give you a practical framework for learning, thinking through your options and deciding what to work on next.
