MUSIC MENTORING
How can I help?
I’ve been in a band since I was doing my GCSEs. And I’ve been writing songs and playing shows ever since.. (over 20 years).
Maybe you need help:
Planning a release
Hiring a team, deciding what to pay for and what to do yourself (hint.. you can do a LOT yourself)
Getting clarity around where to focus your attention
Feeling more inspired and connected to your creativity
Working with stage fright and shyness on stage
Want someone to check in with about your plans
Need some extra motivation and accountability
Why work with me in particular?
Well, during these 20 years I’ve had an amazing range of experiences within music and the music industry. I have:
Been in a four piece band (Jylt) , a folk duo (Paper Aeroplanes) and now have a solo project (Bryde). With all these projects I’ve hired session musicians and been musical director
Released 9 studio albums and several EPs, most of these had a physical release on vinyl and CD
Been signed to indie labels, management companies and publishers
Grown a loyal fanbase
Written songs and toplines for International trance producers and sung those songs all over the world
Sold out London shows from Bush Hall to Union Chapel and toured Europe & America
Played Latitude, Greenman and countless other festivals
Had an international booking agent AND booked my own UK and US tours
Had my music stocked in HMV and indie record stores across the UK
Been on Spotify editorial playlists with over 1 million followers
I’m a Certified Somatic Life Coach and have two years experience working in mental health for the NHS
I’ve also:
Founded and run a successful micro label called Seahorse Music releasing 6 different artists including my own music
Booked my own tours, both when starting from scratch and recently when making a return to playing live music
Been promoting music on social media since Myspace
This experience all amounts to having moved with the times, gone with the flow, swum against the tide and been thrown about in it.
I’ve made mistakes that you can avoid.
I’d love to help you direct your energy, become inspired again and be a sounding board with years of knowledge and experience. I know how it feels to be an artist in 2025.
Would love to hear from you.
