Real words from real clients

"I was struggling with whether or not to pursue my 3rd recording. I needed a fresh perspective, so I booked a Consult with Creative Soul. I was nervous as to what I might find out; would my dream be crushed, or would I discover that I had some amazing talent that the world was just waiting to hear? I found neither. However, I was completely affirmed that my songwriting ability had grown; I was educated as to where the most improvement was needed in my ministry as a recording artist, and I came home with a renewed resolve to continue to pursue obedience to my calling; working diligently at the craft; being patient to let God produce the result." - David White, Singer/Songwriter, Saskatoon, Canada

"I feel more confident in my ministries and in who I am in general. I'm not sure where this all came from - it certainly wasn't something I expected to come out of our (consultation) meeting, but God does awesome and unexpected things, and I needed to let you know how he used you and our time together in a life changing way for me. I came away so encouraged...for my ministry, my music, my relationship with God, and my self-identity." - Cheryl Esposito, Singer/Songwriter, Philadelphia, PA

We believe that most of you reading this are mainly looking for simple answers: "What is my next, best step?" "Where am I as a Songwriter?" and "Can you help me with my dream of doing this?"

If you think that a music ministry is what God has planned for you, you have songs you want to share with the world, or you are planning on recording a CD project, we begin all artists and songwriters with our consulting services.

We have three levels of consultation.

Level 1: "The Christian Artist Development Workshop" in Nashville, TN.

This is Stop Number One in our work. 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.

Plus we find that 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 at our new office/studios in Franklin, TN and begin with a guided tour of our facility by one of our staff, and then a video introduction to our company and our artists. We spend the next hour 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.

Artist Development
Next we take a look at the whole process, how we develop artists and their songs. We talk about the entire production process, and what we do after the product is out to help artists have success.

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.

Songs and Talent
This is a time where we talk about your original songs, your voice, and take a good look at what you've done musically. We talk about the importance of strong songs in the music ministry industry. We also talk about co-writing, how you can be involved with the songs for your ministry even if you are not a strong writer, and how you can provide songs for other music ministries and publishers.

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.

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

Level 2: Phone Consulting. These one hour phone consults are designed to help you get answers to some of your questions, at a substantial savings and without that messy traveling ;). We recommend contacting us, and later sending a CD or MP3s for us to review before we talk.

Level 3: Demo Critique Service. A good first step for artists who really just want to know where they stand with their songs. Click here for more information.
