An extraordinary music career depends on your ability to create a plan and share your artistic identity with the world so that people will be excited about you and your music.
Without a plan, a music career can feel a lot like gambling. Worrying about the next gig, teetering between moments of creative excitement after writing a great song, to the feeling of sheer panic when it's time to pay rent, many artists spend much of their time hoping to be discovered or finding a manager. But a majority of aspiring artists miss the critical step of building a plan and create a solid foundation that will attract the team they need.
Your story, your sound and your image make up the core of your identity. Your work style and how you engage with your fans shows the world who you really are. Building a plan can translate all of this into a roadmap for success. Once you have a clear identity and a solid plan, business decisions can become clear and manageable.
But growing a consistent artistic and business identity requires regular attention and practice. You can go it alone, but a reliable guide can help you avoid painful mistakes and keep you on the right track. Music Career Therapy helps take the guesswork out of marketing your music and gives you the kickstart to launch a successful career.
Hi, I'm Michael Winger
I've worked as an Executive Director for the GRAMMY Awards but also spent many years as a touring artist, music producer, label owner, marketing and music business consultant. I've dedicated much of my career to mentoring and advising artists and their teams to help achieve better results.
I started Music Career Therapy to help talented, aspiring music makers who want to level up their music business. I can help you discover your own compelling artistic identity, engage your fans and organize your business so that you can make money from your music.
My years of experience in the music industry have given me rare and valuable insight into what works and what doesn’t. I know firsthand how the proper tools and guidance at the right moment can transform a desire to create music for a living into a thriving career based on a solid plan with achievable goals.
