Navigating the competitive landscape of music is not easy nowadays. Unlike decades ago, entry and success in music isn’t determined solely by your hard skills, but much much more.

Unfortunately, many talented musicians who would’ve been great contributors to the world are held back by the increasingly challenging requirements.

I’ve provided professional assistance to musicians from diverse backgrounds ranging from: High School students, Non-Music Undergrads, Tech Company Managers with Music Dreams etc.

I take pride in my efforts in helping dozens of students shine in their portfolio and interview processes, leading them to receive offers from their dream schools and achieving their dreams careers.
