Mentorship for ambitious 15–21-year-old musicians aspiring to perform live, release music, and join the music scene

“Before Ben, I could barely write songs, make solos, or sing full voice, and I couldn't really listen to what my band was doing. Now I can compose, finish songs confidently, perform without holding back, and actually have fun on stage."

What's Inside The 12 Week Mentorship

Live Performance Prep & Stagecraft

Learn how to own the stage with confidence and presence

“Before Ben, I could barely write songs, make solos, or sing without falsetto, and I couldn't really listen to what my band was doing. Now I can compose, finish songs confidently, perform without holding back, and actually have fun on stage. My band sounds like a real band and I connect with my bandmates. Mentorship gave me the freedom to try things without feeling self-conscious, and the skills to create and perform.” - Nolan

“Since joining, I’m way better at singing and more confident on stage. I’ve learned how to use the gear (even the mixing board), and I can sing and play at the same time now. I love jamming and growing as a band, and it feels amazing when we finally nail a song. I didn’t think I was a good singer before, so that’s been huge.” - Orion

" I used to struggle to stay in time and improvise. Now I can perform confidently, stay in sync with other musicians, use my effects pedalboard properly, and set up my gear quickly. I’m less nervous on stage, can handle mistakes without freezing, and know how to use the stage as a performer. My favorite part of the program is seeing my own progress and getting advice that actually works. I’ve gone from being a beginner to an improvising, confident musician. If you want to improve your skills and play with like minded musicians, Ben’s the one to learn from." - Owen
