Cari Cole – Step Up to the Spotlight 3.0
You’re just scared. And that’s ok.
Claim Your Craft.
Whether you’re a folksy singer/songwriter with your heart on your sleeve, a heavy metal bandleader imagining bringing the house down with your signature guitar licks, or a hip-hop future music mogul with beats to spare and a killer fashion sense, the secret to making it as an artist – is claiming your craft.
Sure, you’ve got some songs. You’ve got dreams about where you think you might go and a few people who really believe in you. You’ve researched all you could about social media and started promoting yourself –
but there’s just one problem – and it’s not your fault – You’re not ready yet.
It’s easier than ever to put out a record today – but it’s still just as difficult to make a truly exceptional record. The kind every artist needs to break through.
In today’s music business, you can’t wait to be discovered. You must discover yourself. This means taking control of your craft, your brand, your plan, and your mindset before you start on the road to making music a real career. Too many artists are out there on their own today, making decisions and releasing material before they’re ready. You end up spinning your wheels – not because you don’t have the talent – but because you don’t have a strong enough foundation.
Being an artist is scary stuff. There’s no support, no right answers, and no guarantees. So it’s no wonder that you feel lost, overwhelmed, unsure, and like you’ll never break through the noise. But there is a way.
Imagine:
Feeling confident in your voice, songs & stagecraft and never having to introduce yourself with an excuse or apology.
Developing an image that stands out from the crowd and feels true to who you really are.
Having a step-by-step plan of what needs to happen in each stage of your career so that all your bases are covered when fans & industry start paying attention to you.(Plus a 52-week, full-year map of exactly what to do each week to stay on track!)
Finding your lane as an artist so you know exactly what opportunities to pursue and what to say no to.
Transforming from amateur to professional and make a living off your music.
Whether you’re releasing your first record or your fifth, getting your new website together or amping up your social media, and whether you’ve toured for years or are just about to start playing regular shows
The secret to your success as an artist lies in your craft.
Learn what it takes to be purposeful in your career every single day and finally become the undeniable artist with the confidence and brand to go the distance.
Step Up to the Spotlight is an in-depth, life-changing crash course on laying down the foundational support to make it as an independent artist in today’s music industry. In fact, it’s the only course of it’s kind. From craft, to mindset, to branding, this program will take you step by step through what it really takes to be an artist with the skill, image, and vision to stand out from the crowd and build a tribe of followers. But what makes this program different is that it doesn’t just teach you how to replicate someone else’s success. Step Up to the Spotlight teaches you how to step into your own spotlight, so you can stay true to yourself and become the artist of your life.
