Real industry education—for everyone.

Q1: making money as a musician
-
1.1 Music rights on tour
Industry professionals share hard-earned insights around the month’s theme, followed by an open Q&A. Real talk, not gatekept knowledge.
-
1.2 Workshop
A hands-on session where artists dive into practical skills, guided by people who’ve done it.
-
1.3 Networking session
A relaxed space to meet fellow musicians, swap stories, and build your creative network without awkward business cards or empty small talk.
-
1.4 Panel & Q&A
Another expert-led session focused on unpacking the music industry from the inside. Bring your questions — nothing is off-limits.
-
1.5 Workshop
We go deeper into the quarter’s theme with a focused, skill-building workshop. Think practical tools, not passive learning.
-
1.6 Graduation night
A casual, community-driven wrap-up session to share what you’ve learned, reflect on your wins, and celebrate how far you’ve come.
-
Psst! If you’re committed, you can get the quarter tickets. They still give you access to everything, but you save €15.
About the academy
-
A recurring, community-led series of events—workshops, panels, Q&As, and networking sessions—where working music professionals share their experience with aspiring artists.
Our mission is to democratise music industry knowledge, build community, and empower independent artists with the tools to thrive.
-
Independent musicians are expected to “do it all”—manage, promote, tour, monetise—with no real guidance. This, along with most music education in The Netherlands being largely in Dutch, makes it incredibly difficult to succeed as an international musician in The Netherlands.
The new generation of artists is hungry for real-world, relevant knowledge from people actually doing it. They want to stay independent, get paid, and stay sane. We’re creating the space we wish existed: honest, open, non- hierarchical, and rooted in experience.
-
In short, everyone. Whether you’re an independent musician, an aspiring manager, or really just anyone trying to make a sustainable career in the industry.
We cover everything from songwriting to copyright law. All genres, all backgrounds, all experience levels welcome.
-
Every quarter (3 months), we cover an overarching topic. Within that quarter, we invite guest speakers and hosts for bi-monthly panels, Q&A sessions, workshops, and networking sessions. At the end, we celebrate with a graduation night—complete with (non official) diplomas, invitations for friends and family, and of course, live music.
