He believes in meeting you where you are, and working side-by-side to help improve your musicianship, finish tracks consistently, and find your place in the industry.

The biggest takeaway from mentoring: You will learn how to think differently about music and integrate it deeper into your life.

Go From Inconsistent & Frustrated to a Confident, Track Finishing Machine Positioned for Professional Growth

You love making music. It’s part of who you are.

That’s why it’s so frustrating that producing music often feels hard and unpredictable.

Because you dream of making music a deeper part of your life. To be able to finish songs predictably, become recognized for your work, and grow your list of professional credits.

You’ve turned to courses and maybe even college to help, yet still struggle.

You're over the hype - you've realized there is no secret. Just the work.

And you're ready to do it.

You just need someone you can trust to help you do it right. 

If this sounds like you, you are the perfect fit for mentoring.

Because I understand this dream deeply - it's the same one that has driven the last 15 years of my life.

I've lived the struggles - from the feelings of complete defeat, having no idea what to do next, afraid that my music had "left me forever"...

To the world-changing validations of millions of streams, $xx,xxx music deals and credits with music heroes...

Even to the satisfaction of giving back to the music community through my own courses and MIDI packs, receiving positive messages that help me feel like I'm making difference.

But I don't come to you as a guru. Just a guy who dedicated the last 15 years to living through the art of making music.

And this is exactly why I can help you. I've been there. And I can help you do it, too.

Not to turn you into me - but to help you become you.

You will be working side-by-side with someone who loves the craft as much as you do, and has the experience to help you become the next version of yourself.

The confident, skilled, bountifully creative version of you who is finishing music and turning what you create into assets that move your life forward.

The version of you who feels excited every time you open the DAW, knowing that you can create music you feel proud of.

Because it's hard trying to do this all alone. The journey is much easier - and faster - with an experienced guide at your side.

That is what mentoring is about.

If you’re ready for this kind of growth - and the challenge that comes with it - I'd be honored to help you reach the next exciting chapter in your music story.

💬 PHASE 1:

Train Your Skills

First, we open up some of your previous projects together. This helps me quickly see where you are strong, and where you need to improve. 

Next, we listen to some of your favorite songs together. This helps me see your inspirations, and the skills you'll need to get where you want to go.

Then you will get customized lessons & assignments that will help you quickly improve and start creating higher level music with professionalism & intention - inspired by your references.

🏋️ PHASE 2:

Finish Tracks

Once we've done some ground work on your weak skills, we will help you gain the skills & mindsets to be able to finish music for life.

Because the best way to get good is by finishing a lot of music. All you need is the right mindsets, habits, and feedback. 

Get ready to fill your folders with finished songs. 

💼 PHASE 3: 

Turn Your Music Into Assets

By now you've finished a bunch of new music. Awesome!

Now, we put it to work for you. This is where we will have deep consultations about the music industry, and where you may best fit.

This is what makes mentoring different. You will learn how to show up like a true professional and move your career forward in whatever way makes sense for you - whether placements, releases, clients, etc.

After just a few weeks finished 5 new songs using the guidelines I gave him. Shortly after was picked up by a library.

In Matt's words:

"My private coaching sessions with Avery have been extremely valuable to my understanding of how to structure music for licensing uses and how to begin the process of pitching my music for placement.

Avery's vast knowledge of theory, composition, production and sound design for numerous genres allowed him to help me focus in on my strengths as a producer while also improving my weaknesses.

I now feel very confident in my ability to quickly create professional-quality tracks in multiple different licensing formats. If you're ready to get serious about your production & business skills, Avery will absolutely help you take your music to the next level."

Now finishing music consistently that is directly being funneled into libraries & positioned for consistent placements.

In Daniel's words:

“I reached out to Avery to enhance my composition skills for TV & studio clients. He helped me develop my composing & arranging techniques to write broadcast quality tracks.

I’m currently providing original music for music libraries with placements on NBC, MLB, and E!, and producing 2-3 projects a week for my studio clients. My clients love what we are creating, and routinely contact me for more work!

Working with Avery was the best decision I’ve made as a producer - he’s my music industry “coach”, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking to lead a professional music career.”

“Working with you was the missing piece. I now have more fun, and feel confident in my production & career direction. This was more impactful than my entire college experience, and a hell of a lot cheaper. I gained more momentum in 2 months than in my previous years.”

Justin is a 10+ year musician and composer. Before working with me, he felt overwhelmed and confused about how to finally take his productions to a professional level, and how to attract client work. Specifically, he wanted to compose for video games.

After only a few months of working together, he is now finishing songs consistently, building an impressive demo reel, posting on social media in a way that will attract clients, and has even landed his first paid gig!

Eventually he met with Illmind who complimented his melodies.

Today he is producing for artists and finishing songs consistently to positive feedback from clients & the music industry.

BEN:

Came to me as an early intermediate producer who wanted to make dramatic improvements and become a track finishing machine, able to play his songs out in his DJ sets.

Together we gave him the accountability and feedback he needed to make all of this happen.

He finished 30 songs during our time together, began playing them out at clubs, and even had The Chainsmokers send him a private video asking to hear more of his music.

Today he is growing his professional career as a DJ, producer, and is getting positive feedback from crowds and professionals.

ANDREW:

A talented producer who came to me wanting to take the step to build more confidence in the professional world as a producer. Now he's gotten tracks signed to a library and has his first placement.

In his own words, here were our results:

"When I started with Avery, I'd put together a couple good songs but I really struggled with finishing things consistently and getting everything to a professional level.  So I had two goals for my time with Avery: 1. I wanted to be able to quickly and consistently finish professional quality music, and 2. I wanted to start learning more about how to get involved with the sync world - as it was something I had absolutely no idea where to start.

Avery took the time to really dig in, ask a lot of questions, and understand these goals and put together a plan of how to achieve them.  He spent as much time needed to make sure that we covered everything, that I had all of my questions answered, and really breaking down how to do everything step by step.

During my time with Avery, I was able to put together a collection of high quality songs to start pitching to libraries, which have since been accepted and released.  I also completed a remix for a contest I wanted to enter, which was done based on prior feedback received from Avery.  That remix ended up winning the contest and getting a label release as well.

Thanks to my time with Avery, I now have the ability (and just as importantly, the confidence) to continue with the roadmap we created to keep putting together and pitching professional quality music, both for libraries, and as an artist."
