Marketing. Content. Coaching. Strategy.
A welcome from Michael Whalen
WHY ARTIST EXPANSION?
I have worked in the music business for more than 30 years. I have won Emmy® Awards, created platinum-selling music and had billions of people hear my music. I am an expert at music copyrights, music monetization, and marketing, and I know exactly what the word "brand" means. I have been managers, teachers, coaches, and consultants. I have worked with the very best in music and the very newest. I only work with a small select group of artists who see the value of learning the fundamentals and building a career organically.
​
I am committed to each of our clients, helping them find their true, authentic voice - both musically and in how they express their narrative out in the world.
I will manage every particle of your release from mastering to metadata to uploading to pre-save dates
Weekly hour long coaching sessions to review every part of your campaign and to lay out your strategy for the future.

About To Break Through
The artists who are so close to "breaking through" can be the hardest ones to transform.
“Michael’s deep experience in the music biz, his easy laugh, and his true caring nature were always there to guide me in for a safe landing when I was at a loss for answers, and his guidance truly helped me move forward in all my musical pursuits. If you need an experienced guide to help you to the next stage in your career, I can’t recommend Michael highly enough... he’s the real deal.”
