It can be hard to ask for support...

What would you like to receive from others this week?

Happy Monday… Tuesday likely by the time you get this. See I’ve had an action packed day. I wanted to decide what platform I was going with for Music Fit. I am happy to announce that I did just that. More on that later…

I also had a very active last couple of weeks in the office… (that of which being behind a drumset… 🙈) Now the full-time drummer of the Kate Reid Band. Check out her Spotify here

I trust you’ve had a great Monday too… and if it’s anything like mine, it comes with a great sense of relief…

Do you feel like you’re strangely craving something new?

I know I do. Today, I want to talk to you about what’s been coming up A LOT lately. It’s a seasonal thing by the looks of it. August brings with it a renewed sense of creativity and inspiration. A time to try new things. Maybe that is a new discipline in movement... Some could go swing a kettlebell or a mace around, or hit up a community Yoga class… for others, it’s a new recipe. Something quick and easy to take on the go. Or it could be a new mindfulness practice. One of my artist-athletes discovered how great breathwork can be in between sets this weekend after our session last week. This was welcomed by his band and his partner. They all agreed it was way better than what was happening before when he chose to “react” instead of respond…

See, it’s times like these where curiosity can play a big role in your development as a human being. When you’re curious, your’re physically unable to be angry. I like to facilitate questions for this reason. And, one of the questions I lofted inside the Music Fit Colletive this week was “What is one thing you’d like to offer to others this week and what is one thing you’d like to recieve this week?”

I’d like to pose the same thing to you. It can be brutally hardf to ask for support and this is my attempt to normalize it.

Please feel free to leave a comment below sharing what you’d like to give/get…

Okay so, what’s this Music Fit Collective all about…?

This is a place for artists to give and receive. More precisely, this is the place where artists will grow into great people. For them to build connections and for a changing of the guard in the music industry. It is here that we’ll be bringing together emerging artists and their teams who want to write prettier songs, play bigger stages and overcome their self-doubt so we can all take a crack at making it in the music industry.

For a limited time, I’ve got some sweet Founding Member pricing on my subscription plans over on the website. Head to www.musicfitcollective.com/membership and check it out.

I’ve recently noticed a spike in interest in my Live Production & Performance Coaching so I thought I’d talk about it for a minute. I’m okay with shameless promotion because I truly believe every artist can benefit from knowing how their words, the food they choose to eat and how intentional movemment can make or break their careers. It translates into their performance, and that’s a language all musicians know….

What’s Live Production and Performance Coaching?

Think about your live show and how you perform. Is it physical? Are you entertaining? Do you have energy? Can you maintain that energy night in, night out…?

These are skills I’ve honed for five years. An accumulation of on-site live production and performance coaching inspired and mentored by some of the biggest names in live production and performance coaching, with a high-performance athlete spin. I took all my experience in the performance athlete and coaching world and threw it at musicians. Who I affectionately know as “artist-athletes”.

I bundled it up into a subscription membership with a Private Live Performance Workshop tacked on. This is a great option for any band looking to take their performance to the next level, sell more merch and play bigger stages. Any agency that wants to keep their bands on the road longer and more sustainably and any industry members who are inspired to change the game of what it means to be a musician nowadays. You get the 5-day intensive and 12 months of my remote performance coaching and an all-access pass to an online community filled with industry people you want to meet and mingle with.

If you or someone you know sounds like a good fit for this, please check out one of the memberships. I’m giving 30 days to try before you buy on select plans and would really love it if you were so kind as to spread the word for me.

Thank you. See you on the inside.
