"The Christian Artist Development Workshop" in Nashville, TN

This is Stop Number One in anything we do, especially with artists who are looking for us to develop and promote them on Creative Soul Records. And this is a critical process. Would you build a house without knowing why you are building it? Much less where, for who, and what will be the plans for it?

Our team is vast, with experienced producers, players, studios, engineers, and other ready to develop you and your music ministry into something truly special. But we can't even start without getting to know you, your heart, your goals and calling for ministry, and also letting you get to know us.

No one else in Nashville or the U.S. is offering this unique service where you can come to the major Christian music town and have someone spend 5-6 hours pouring over your heart, music, and ministry, and giving you REAL answers on what the next best steps for you are.

You also get to spend some time in a major studio in the Franklin area, which is where we spend most of our time talking and listening.

Plus, it's just smart to meet and work together for a day before you start spending thousands of dollars on a project.

So, here's how we begin working with clients.

Introduction
We meet in Franklin, TN and spend the first few hours talking about your musical history and talents, and what you think God is leading you to do. Then we shift to what we've done for artists through songwriting, arranging, CD production, web, and design, and talk about other things we offer artists through our relationships in Nashville and the Christian music industry.

What is Success?
We then enter into a time of talking about your vision of success in all this. Is it getting a record or publishing deal? Is it leading worship? Is it to simply glorify God? We talk about true success in music ministry and we spend some time looking at what other artists, writers, and ministries are doing. We try to find out what has made them successful in ministry.

Preparing for Success
Next we take a look at the whole process, how you can prepare for success as you take the next steps. We talk about the entire process, what we do after the product is out to help artists have success, and what things you need to know to protect and build your music and ministry.

Income Streams
We discuss the different ways artists support their ministry. A very important aspect of being an artist for the long term.

Ministry Business
Then we go over how to form a ministry or music business, the business angles, and what other things give a music ministry credibility and lasting success.

Song, Talent, and Materials
This is a time where we talk about your original songs, your voice, and take a good look at what you've done musically. This is where we give you our detailed thoughts on vocals, songs, playing, style, arranging, production, photo/design, and packaging. We go over your material, or simply work together to hear you sing and/or play. This is NOT an audition. This is a time to give you good, strong constructive feedback on what God has given you, and what you are doing with it.

The Plan for Your Ministry
Finally, we will work on building a specific plan for starting or energizing your music ministry or business. We'll determine what your goals are, what your first steps need to be, and what you need to be working on to improve your craft.

Note: Since we cover materials that contain over 30 years of experience, and this does take most of our day, we do charge for this workshop.

You will go home inspired, maybe tired, but certainly with confidence that you are growing to a new level in your talent and ministry.

Contact us for more information and let's begin talking about scheduling, and getting YOUR ministry going.
