You’ve got a song you believe in. Now comes the part nobody handed you a plan for. Who do you send it to? What do you say? And what do you do after posting “out now”? Let’s get that part sorted.

Get daily answers from me and help with the work you’re doing now, plus one weekly live.
Your single or album launch, with me working through the music and the plan alongside you.
Congratulations on finishing the song. Your next assignments are branding, content, research, and following up with people who haven’t replied. Apparently, you’re the staff.

I was playing at five, putting bands together and playing at church by ten, and had recorded an album by fifteen.
By sixteen or seventeen, I’d made about $31 at a show, hit a deer on the way home, and couldn’t afford Waffle House.
The deer got paid better than I did.
So I became an engineer. Then a business owner. The music habit proved harder to shake.
Years later, I brought those business skills back to my music. I handled the branding, research, outreach, and follow-up myself, using modern tools to keep the work manageable.
I put that work into a system I call the LabelBox Method. No mystery handshake. Just a repeatable way to get prepared, find a fit, and make a sensible ask. Here’s where it took Feel This Way.
One of those conversations reached José. He and the dancers brought their own talent to the release—and gave the song a life beyond my own pages.
Watch José introduce the Feel This Way dance.
Then watch a studio take it onto the floor.
Historical captures, not live rankings. Tap a card to take a closer look.
Real screenshots and clips from my independent releases. Rankings and streaming figures measure different things, capture dates are shown where available, and these results don’t predict yours. Features aren’t endorsements.
Refreshing the numbers is understandable. It’s also a fairly quiet marketing department. Give yourself something useful to do between refreshes.
Example goals. Results vary; no stream count is promised.Think of walking into a bank with your paperwork in order. You still have to make your case—but nobody has to untangle it first. Give your music that same courtesy.
Get the song, its story, working links, and the right materials together.
Your output: a shareable release package. Use it to assess which opportunities fit.
Find people whose work fits. Read their submission instructions.
Your output: a focused list of relevant recipients and their requirements. Use it to tailor your approach.
Explain why them, why this song, and what you’re asking.
Your output: a specific pitch for each recipient. Send it yourself and record when it went out.
Follow through. Record the response. Improve the next approach.
Your output: a record of replies and follow-ups. Use what you learn to refine the next round.
You execute the steps in coaching and bring your materials and decisions for my feedback. Private consulting adds the tailored music, content, and launch support detailed below; we agree on its scope before you commit.
You control the preparation. Their answer is theirs.
Bring your bio, your pitch, your release plan, or the reply you don’t know what to do with.
Bring the bio you’ve rewritten all afternoon. The pitch you’re avoiding. The reply you don’t know how to answer. We’ll work through what’s holding you up.
You don’t need another folder of advice you’ll get around to. You need somewhere to bring the work, ask the question, and keep moving.
You bring the work and execute your plan. I give feedback in the group; private campaign work is separate.
Monthly subscription, plus applicable tax. Cancel before renewal to stop future charges. Daily Q&A normally answered within 24 hours. Focused group support; private calls and campaign execution are separate.

Bring one focused asset or decision each day. In the $100/month Skool community, I answer daily, normally within 24 hours. Private consulting gives you one-to-one messaging access anytime; replies aren’t immediate at every hour.
Yes. We work through the rights, permissions, and platform rules relevant to your music and tools; eligibility still depends on the recording and where you submit it.
I help you identify relevant opportunities and make your next move within the agreed scope; my private contact database, relationship notes, and full outreach systems aren’t sold as a downloadable list.
I help you prepare stronger materials, research relevant opportunities, pitch, and follow through; stations, creators, and other recipients make the final decisions, so placements aren’t guaranteed.
Text GET STARTED and we’ll confirm the offer, scope, payment details, and refund terms before payment. Coaching is $100/month; cancel before renewal to stop future charges. Consulting starts at $2,500/month, detailed below; applicable consumer rights remain unaffected.
Your release has enough moving parts. Work directly with me on the recording, content, and outreach, so the pieces belong to the same launch.
Hands-on guidance with song structure, arrangement, mixing, and mastering. Work through what the recording needs before it goes out.
Release priorities, content ideas, and a publishing schedule built around your single or album.
Positioning, release materials, campaign strategy, and targeted outreach, working together.
Find relevant stations and programmers. Prepare the materials, pitch, and follow-through. Airplay is their decision.
24/7 private messaging access to me. Send questions as they come up; we work through your launch directly. Not an instant-response promise.
Private consulting is capped at 10 active clients. Text to check current availability.
Coaching is for artists executing their own plan with group guidance. Private consulting is for a tailored launch and direct one-to-one work.
We agree on songs, deliverables, revisions, timeline, and payment arrangements before you commit. Work and outside expenses beyond that scope are separate.
You don’t need a perfect pitch to talk to me. Bring your music, tell me where you’re stuck, and be ready to do the work.
