Preparation Meets Opportunity - Pt. 2
I don’t think success in the world’s standards should ever be the ultimate goal, but success is what you make it out to be. Each of us defines it differently.
Preparation Meets Opportunity - Pt. 1
I went to bed so discouraged that night. That phrase my dad told me played over and over again in my head…
Make or Break a Fan
Is your show making….or breaking fans?
It is an ongoing pursuit to create an entertaining and engaging live show
Transitions and Stage Banter
Speaking to the audience should never be an afterthought. You must have a reason you are going to speak to the audience during the show, so you need to work on what you’re going to say.
Less Is More - Pt. 1
The old saying that less is more is accurate when it pertains to building your live show, musically.
Feeling the Music
Do you ever get caught up in the music?
Great performers have a long-lasting career because they are able to visually and emotionally pour their personality into their performance. Feeling the music is a big part of that!
Preparation From Hibernation
Now that 2020 has finally moved aside, what does this new year bring? What does it look like for us musicians as we awaken from our communal slumber?
A Show Without The Show
Before building a massive show, you need to work on your personal showmanship.

I may not have heard your music yet, but my guess is that not all of your songs sound alike…

Auditions - Pt. 2 (The Musician)
There’s a saying that to be successful in music, it’s only 20% Talent and 80% People Skills or your Heart. The truth is, no matter how talented you are…
The Most Awkward I’ve Ever Felt Onstage
In my former band, I once played a show in Arkansas in front of only two people. However, that significantly less than sold-out concert wasn’t the most awkward experience I’ve ever had onstage.
Providing An Experience
Over my years in music, I’ve witnessed something disturbingly profound about music artists. As diverse as we are, many have a common misconception when it comes to live performance, something that has ultimately cost many their music career!
Overcoming Stage Fright
The best way to gain confidence and overcome any sort of stage fright is through solid preparation. A huge error artists make is not being fully prepared when they take the stage. Although I had invested many hours practicing, every single day, it felt like nothing could prepare me for my first big show.
What is a Live Performance Producer?
Many of you have probably heard the term “Performance Coach,” “Stage Coach” or “Choreographer.” While all of these descriptions are a part of what I do, it doesn’t explain the work in its entirety. I go by “Live Performance Producer” because I do more than simply coaching or consultant work. I help produce every part of an artist’s live show, to assist with creating a purposeful and memorable experience onstage.
