You’re making music. But getting it heard? That’s a different skill entirely — and it’s where most independent artists hit a wall. The gap between creating a great track and building an audience used to require a label, a publicist, and a marketing budget. AI is changing that equation fast.

Independent artists now control 46.7% of the global recorded music market — $14.3 billion worth. The tools that used to be locked behind label deals are now available to anyone with a laptop and a release date.

This course teaches you to use AI for every stage of music marketing: choosing the right distributor, pitching playlists, creating social content, reading your analytics, engaging fans, and building sustainable revenue. You’ll learn the same strategies that turned bedroom producers into full-time artists — without spending money you don’t have.
