Modern Musician Reviews 68

Spent $5000 3 or 4 yrs ago. Didn't get much out of it so just discontinued doing business; or so I thought. Got an email today... out of nowhere... that they charged my credit card from back then $297 for a monthly subscription/membership that I NEVER signed up for. No way to reach them via website. Not way to call or connect other than messenger on FB and Instagram. The response was immediate when they took my money years ago.

Working with Jared was great. He took me step by step through the process of setting up my system so that I am now seeing growth without micro managing the whole process. He was attentive to my questions, answered them effectively and responded within a reasonable time. He was informative and a pleasure to work with. Drew

Working with Jared at Modern Musician has been nothing short of outstanding. From the very first conversation, he’s been professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. He takes the time to listen, provide clear guidance, and share his knowledge in a way that feels both inspiring and actionable.
What really stands out is Jared’s passion and authenticity, he’s not just going through the motions, he truly cares about musicians and their growth. Every interaction left me feeling supported, motivated, and more confident about my path forward.
If you’re serious about elevating your music career, you’ll be in great hands with Jared. Highly recommend!

My email list had been limping along for *years* with 51 people on it, and I knew 50 of them personally. I discovered Modern Musician and they helped me set up an elegant automated system with ads. Less than 5 months later, my list now has over 1'000 people on it. It feels like a miracle, but in reality it's the incredible people at Modern Musician who've built a system that truly empowers indie artists. Shout outs in particular to Aaron, technical wizard and role model for how a customer-focused business operates -- and to Jared, for his endless patience and commitment to my success. This team will restore your faith in what's possible for you as an indie musician and support you all the way. If you're in despair and wondering if you'll ever be able to build an audience, you need Modern Musician.

I am so grateful for my session with Aaron today. I was feeling especially stressed with many responsibilities and a personal loss and he gave me an honest, yet compassionate reflection and then was super efficient with moving our launch forward. The coaches at Modern Musician not only are musicians themselves, they also have the life experience to support artists in their journey towards a rewarding music career at a time when the landscape of the music business can be especially challenging. I am excited to be part of this community creating powerful, high quality music for people who appreciate it and support artists.

I have cancelled my subscription over 2 years ago and they’re trying to charge my account out of the blue. They are very hard to get ahold of. I’ve been trying to get ahold of them to remove this “automatic $10 renewal” feature that I did not enable, and there’s no drop down available otherwise to remove it. Thankfully it’s on an old debit card that’s since expired and been shredded. I wish they would have an easier system to get in touch when someone chooses to cancel.

Michael introduced me to Ringo Starr in person which was pretty awesome

Personalized, super reactive and amazing service. Only good words for all members of Modern Musician team.

Joining Modern Musician has been a game-changer for us — truly transformative. Michael Walker leads with humility and heart, driven by a genuine passion to revolutionize the music industry. The entire team is not only incredibly knowledgeable and well-connected, but they’ve also become like family to us. This is more than just a business — it’s a movement created by musicians, for musicians. And together, we’re not just participating in the industry — we’re helping to reshape it and we feel truly blessed to be a part of this family. Thank you all at Modern Musician for making our time in Orlando so memorable, connecting, and transformative.

My experience with Modern Musician has been amazing. That's almost an understatement, because in some ways it's been life changing. I love how much they all truly care about you and your progress - because they've all been there themselves. I love the fact that Michael and the whole team cares to make improvements ALL the time on their software, in their teachings and always strives to do better in every aspect. They ask for feedback daily, on their page, after every coaching call etc. And they make actual changes for the better (constantly) because of it! That's how you know they care. That's how you know that what they are teaching you isn't just fancy words - they absolutely practice what they preach. And I just love that about them. Their honest dedication to actually help people turn their music into a business and a career.

With that said, they're not gonna do the work for you (although so much of their software and coaching is beyond helpful and does more than you'd think) but it's still up to you to do the work and implement the necessary steps to your music career and figure out how to best use them to your advantage. But they do help, SO MUCH with the process of setting you up for life. That is my experience. It takes time and it's not a walk in the park and you need to be accountable for your own actions and the amount of work you put in. The work you put in equals what you gain and with their help, it really makes a difference. And I couldn't be asking for more, I am so profoundly happy with all that they've done for me.

I especially have a warm shout out to Jared Christianson, since he was the coach I met with the most. He has been completely invaluable to me and to my progress throughout this entire experience. I bombarded him with questions at every coaching call, because I wanted to make the most of every session, and not only did I get all the help I needed - he always gave me the best advice and showed me more ways than one of how to proceed with every thing I asked about. And if he couldn't help me during the call with some technical error or something, he always made sure he and the team took care of it as soon as possible and checked up on me to see that everything was in order. I have so much love and affection to Jared and the entire team of Modern Musician. Thank you guys so much for caring and creating one of the best music communities I've ever been in!

My experience so far with the Team at Modern Musician has been so great! Everyone is passionate about helping with my individual process incorporating such cool methods of building my niche fan base! I appreciate how genuine & authentic not only the team is but so is our MM community of artists. It's an awesome collective to be apart of & know I'm not alone in feeling this way! I honestly feel lucky to have recently joined the growing MM revolution!

I decided to book a personalized session with Michael at the Modern Musician studio in Orlando in order to create my artist showcase.
I recognized how crucial it is to have a truly professional promotional tool available to help familiarize potential new fans about who I am as an artist.
They help to create a detailed platform to showcase your music and the stories behind the music that you've created in a really fresh and compelling way.

Yanni and Michael made it really easy and fun to comfortably share some pretty intimate and personal stuff that comes with sharing why I created some of my songs. And I think that’s really important when you’re trying to convey to new people hearing your music for the first time.

My favorite part of going through the artist showcase process was learning the steps I can take to help turbo charge the content I can put out to promote my music. It’s really the perfect way to be able to convey to potential new fans Why you do what you do, the stories behind your music and your songs and how to truly connect with people who will resonate with your music most.

If you are looking for an awesome way to reach out to brand new fans and bring them into your community recording, a professional artist showcase with Michael and Modern Musician is definitely the way to go. I highly recommend this whole concept.

Jared was able to help me regain access to my facebook page after trying to get it back for almost 2 years after being hacked! MIRACLE! Thank you Jared!

Modern Musician is a game changer if you truly want to take your music career, songs and finances to the next level! It's not an easy task but the team at MM are not only amazing but are all musicians themselves dealing with the same issues that we face every day. The magic of automation will change your view on the music world and help you realize that with the right product (your music) written and recorded professionally, as well a value ladder that makes sense for your new and longtime fans, you ARE able to make a living with your own music! Best of luck and go get it!!!

There had not been a time when I have had a question unanswered or support withheld. This is for the artist that wants to learn alongside a team. Yes, they will walk you through everything, but if you choose to empower yourself, you will have a powerful machine and the tools to wield it.

Jared's patience and knowledge is unmatched! Seriously Modern Musician have some truly amazing people!! Finally got my campaign started and everything is looking up from here! Thanks Jared, Logan, Spencer and most importantly Michael!!

Modern Musician has the systems and the people who teach them well. I have not found a better way to work on my Music Project. Everything you need to run your music business is covered. When I first started working with them, it was not complete but they kept adding elements and improving the quality, and when I was able to move my website over there I knew they had pulled it off.
Jared Christianson is a rising marketing star and helped me navigate the FB Ads and ad strategy angles, as well as gave me great advice when I started my radio show/podcast. I advise you to get on a session with him!

So when I first discovered Modern Musician, I had all but given up on my musical "career" and getting my music out into the world. The Modern Musician program (and promise) sounded too good to be true. Find fans for your music. Build a community that loves your work. Monetize your audience over time. Repeat. But it works! This was the most intense music marketing and music business program I've ever participated in. But it was worth everything I've invested so far. I can't express how impressed I am with the structure of the program and the quality of the courseware. The tools and systems available to us are sophisticated and "modern." And the results so far have exceeded my expectations. But I believe the secret sauce of Modern Musician is the people, their corporate culture, and the global music community they've created. The leadership team is amazing. The individual coaches I've worked with are superb. Everyone is truly knowledgeable, helpful, professional, and passionate. The people are positive, encouraging, and motivating. The other benefit of Modern Musician is being part of a bigger community of musicians from all over the world who are going through (or who have already graduated) the Modern Musician program. Meeting and learning from everyone is part of the fun and joy. It doesn't matter how old you are, what kind of music you create, what you look like, or how cynical you might be about the "music industry" or the "business of music." If you put your heart, soul (and mind) into the work that this team of people has mapped out for you, you will advance your music career ambitions to any level you desire. Guaranteed. I started at zero. After 7 months, I'm seeing huge progress and momentum. I've acquired fans, started engaging with them, and am moving toward early monetization. I highly recommend Modern Musician for any musician who is serious about advancing their career and seeking success in the challenging (and often times disappointing) music industry. Finally, I want to say that this review was written by a real person, not an AI bot! I can personally attest to the fact that Modern Musician is the real deal. They rock.

I went to the masterclass. I learn nothing and did not get the freebie that was promised in the beginning of the call. It was stated in the beginning that "this is not like those other masterclasses or webinars", literally stating that they're "not here to do commercial". This was the only thing this masterclass consisted of. It also took this dude 3 HOURS. The dummest thing I've spent that much time on in years.

I am a rising artist and started the Gold Master mind course not knowing what to expect. Not even knowing if it was a legitimate learning opportunity or not. After finishing the course, I have been able to successfully grow my fan base significantly. But the benefits received by this experience doesn’t stop there. I have active fan engagement, learned how to correctly set up social media ads, monetize music, my music streaming is even increasing. And that’s just the start!!
