Personal Music Mentoring
A new way to learn music — production, composition, broadcasting, and more — built around you, not a curriculum.
Hi, I'm James
Music has been my life since childhood — over three decades of playing and producing. I've worked in studios, built music tech, and now stream live on TikTok. I'm also blind and losing my remaining sight, which gives me a unique perspective on mentoring and accessibility. I'm building this academy because learning music should be personal, goal-oriented, and actually enjoyable.
