Do you recognise yourself in one or more of the following statements?
You are a musician, artist, songwriter, producer, composer or music coach.
You’re dreaming of a sustainable career in music.
You worry how you can ever truly be heard with so many artists trying to make it.
You struggle to make an income from your music or have reached an income plateau.
You are working on your career really hard but have yet to see the results you desire.
You’ve been told it takes mainstream success to survive as an artist.
You want to grow your online presence and fanbase.
You’ve had a level of success but you can’t seem to break through to the next level.
You often feel pressure to jump on board with every new trend, hype or marketing hack.
You have big goals for your future in music but aren’t sure how to make them happen.
If the answer is ‘yes’, then you have come to the right place!
Even though the rise of social media has empowered artists, the majority is still struggling to build a sustainable career and make a proper income from their music.
Which is not surprising…
First of all it seems more artists than ever are trying to make it and competition is high.
Besides that there is a lot more involved with a successful music career nowadays than just the music.
And those things don’t come naturally to everyone.
In fact: it can be quite overwhelming to have to be the creator, but also your own social media manager, A&R, financial manager, booking agent, etcetera as well.
Unfortunately, there is also still a lot of underpayment in the music industry.
And the pandemic hasn’t made things much better either.
No wonder artists feel a little lost sometimes!!
I get it.
I have been there too…
Hi I am Susana!
I am a singer, topline writer and performer with over 17 years experience in the music industry as one of the top vocalists in the Trance scene.
As a female and a singer in the male DJ dominated Dance music industry, the odds of me building a successful career weren’t necessarily in my favor.
Nonetheless I have been able to build a sustainable career in music, making a living doing what I love most: songwriting, singing and performing!
So what’s my secret?
Looking back what has made the biggest difference for me was the moment I started to approach my career as a business!
I’ll be honest, by nature I am totally not a business minded person. I am a recovering people pleaser, overthinker and perfectionist. And an introvert as well. And anything money related used to make me extremely uncomfortable.
But that’s the thing. Entrepreneurship is something you can learn!
And I truly believe it’s one of the most powerful opportunities us artists have to change the course of our careers and our lives!
And that is exactly what I am teaching you in my new 8 week online course ‘The Journey – Become the creative entrepreneur your music business needs’.
Let me tell you more about it 🙂
I get it!
You’d much rather spend your time making music instead of having to deal with the business side of things.
But if you are ambitious and serious about your career it’s time to exchange the passenger seat for the driver’s seat.
The fact of the matter is (besides your music) building a successful music business requires a specific combination of skills ranging from marketing to branding to sales to growing a fanbase and being able to think strategically and proactively create opportunities for yourself.
It requires you to have a vision and a plan!
To have a healthy money mindset. Embrace your worth and know how to charge for your work accordingly. To deal with setbacks in a constructive manner. To be able to make tough but impactful decisions etc.
Honestly, I wish I had learnt all of this much sooner!! Because it has been such a game changer for me.
Don’t waste time like I did figuring it all out on your own.
Join me on ‘The Journey’ and you’ll be surprised to see how much you can do if you have the right knowledge, skills and strategies.

Here’s what other artists said about coaching received through the Business Coaching For Artists Academy.
What a brilliant and thoughtful course – it has certainly built and boosted my confidence in using the tools to develop an authentic online presence and helped me understand and connect with my growing fanbase.
Thank you!
I really enjoyed the course! For me as a rookie in the social media “business” side, I was happy afterwards that not a single topic was too hard.
Susana explains in easy words the theory about, for example, how to build your fanbase, the do’s and dont’s and facebook algorithms.
She also guides you through processes like how to create effective advertisements on facebook business manager.
On top of that there are cheatsheets and worksheets available for use to make the process even easier.
Well worth the investment, imo!
Susana has great new perspectives and gave me a lot of helpful advices in our one-to-one coaching. It was amazing to talk to a woman who has been working in the scene for such a long time.
She deeply cares about your concern and makes you feel valued.
My favorite quote of her was: You can do a lot yourself if you have the passion, talent and drive.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Susana!

Frequently asked questions
Can I take the course at a later date?
I haven’t decided yet when the next Journey will start. What I do know is that the price will go up for future editions.
I can’t see into your schedule ofcourse. But you may want to ask yourself: at this moment in time, which step that I can I take right now has the most potential of making a difference in my career?
And remember: if you sign up for the beta-version now, you will have lifetime access. So even if you are busy the next two months, you’ll have enough time to finish all the lessons.
Who is the course for?
The course is suitable for musicians, artists, producers, songwriters and music coaches. It doesn’t matter if you’re an independent artist, signed to a label or just getting started.
It helps to have music and/or related products and services ready. But it’s not a prerequisite.
I am a beginner. Does it make sense for me to take the course?
I believe it’s never too early to start learning what it takes to become successful in the music industry.
The Journey can help you figure out what exactly you want to do in music and what the first steps to achieving this could be.
Please feel free to send me an email at info@businesscoachingforartists.com and I’ll be more than happy to assist you and help you determine if The Journey is the right course for you at this time.
This course is not for you if…
… you expect overnight results and aren’t willing to put in the work.
… you have a negative attitude and make others responsible for your success.
What if I can’t make it to some or all the live coach calls?
Some of the coach calls are in the morning, some are in the evening. This to give everyone the opportunity to be there live.
But it’s not a problem if for some reason you can’t attend. All the coach calls will be recorded. So even if you can’t make it live, you will be able to watch the replay.
Just make sure to submit any questions you have prior to the session and I will answer them regardless (you will receive an email from me a few days before each coach call to remind you to submit your questions).
How soon can I expect to see results?
All the lessons and knowledge we provide in The Journey is desiged to set you up for success. However, student results will vary and depend on many factors (such as your background, work ethic, the quality of your music etc).
Some things that are taught in The Journey can be applied right away and give immediate results. Other things might take months or even years to implement and get right.
Building a sustainable music career takes time and effort. Which is also why you get lifetime access. So you can go over the course materials again whenever you need.
I feel like I’m not ready yet….
Personally I believe there is no time like the present. In order to build that dream music business you have to be willing to make your music career an absolute priority in your life!
And it’s never too early to start learning what it takes to become successful in the music industry.
Furthermore, the course comes with lifetime access. So you can take it at your own pace and you’ll be able to come back to certain topics in the future if at any point you need a refresher.
I have a vacation/trip planned. Will I get behind on the course?
The course comes with lifetime access. This means all course contents will remain available. You can basically take it at your own pace and it’s not a problem if you are away for a few weeks.
All coach calls will be recorded so you can watch them at your convenience.
Also: if you have a laptop, smartphone or tablet you can tune in from anywhere in the world where there’s an internet connection.
Do you prefer to pay in multiple installments?
If you prefer to pay in 3 monthly installments of €257,- please send an email to info@businesscoachingforartists.com before Sunday March 20th 23.59pm CET and we’ll sort it out 🙂
I have another question, how can I reach you?
Send us an email at info@businesscoachingforartists.com and we’ll be more than happy to assist you and help you determine if The Journey is the right course for you at this time.

Testimonials
With years of experience in the music business Susana has alot of great insights to share. In our personal coaching session she answered all my questions and she included some general words of wisdom as well to set me on the right path!
She is a great listener with sincere interest in her clients!
Thank you Susana!
I found our session incredibly valuable. You challenged me to look at my plan and path differently and gave me a lot to think about between now and when we next speak.
So, it’s fair to say that you easily exceeded my expectations today. The time was an excellent investment for me.
After speaking with Susana I feel much better and more motivated!
I was unsure about so many things and was unable to make the decisions I needed to make, but Susana led me on the right path.
Her advice was really helpful and made so much sense, I no longer feel lost.
