Musician, entrepreneur, and creator of the 7-Figure Freedom Framework.

Because it’s not just about building a business—it’s about creating a life that lights you up.

After two decades as a career musician writing music for film and TV, I realized the real goal isn’t just making money—it’s designing life on your own terms.

In 2018, I turned that vision into reality—launching a 7-figure coaching business without paid ads, social media, or the two biggest enemies of online entrepreneurs: overwhelm and burnout. Since then, I’ve built multiple additional businesses using the same affiliate-powered, email-driven strategies.

Now, I teach freedom-focused entrepreneurs how to launch, grow, and scale six- and seven-figure businesses in a way that fuels their personal goals—without sacrificing sanity or soul.

You don’t need to post daily.
You don’t need to chase trends.
You don’t need a 60-hour work week.

Because when your business supports your life—not consumes it—everything changes.

I'm Michael

I’m a musician, coach, and creator of the Master Music Licensing program.

I’ve had 2,400+ music placements in TV shows, trailers, and commercials — and built a 7-figure online business helping artists do the same.

Now I teach musicians and creatives how to build sustainable online businesses by licensing their music and sharing what they know.

Because when you understand how to monetize your skills and grow your audience,
you no longer chase gigs — you create your own opportunities.

The best part?

You don’t need a manager.
 You don’t need a label.
 You don’t even need a finished album.

All you need is your creativity, and a step-by-step plan.

The Truth Most Online Entrepreneurs Learn Too Late

It’s easy to get caught in the social media hamster wheel—creating, posting, publishing... and still wondering why the business isn’t growing.

It’s exhausting.
It’s unpredictable.
And it pulls you away from the work you actually love!

But here’s the truth:
Followers don’t equal buyers.
Chasing engagement isn’t the same as building lasting income.

A successful online business is built on systems.
Ones that attract, connect, and convert—without draining your time or energy.

I earned my first million without a single ad or social media campaign.
And now I teach others how to do the same—with simplicity, sustainability, and sanity.
