Just a little moment of appreciation here — I honestly couldn’t be happier seeing how far this has come. From a fuzzy little idea to a full-blown platform with weekly live group calls, an archive full of gold, and a community that keeps showing up and growing. You guys are awesome. Every week, I see people landing gigs, building confidence, improving their music, asking smart questions, and pushing themselves — and that’s exactly what this was all about from day one. 💡 Quick heads up: if you’re in the Academy and still thinking about jumping into the Rise Program ... prices will go up to $67 soon. If you want in at $47, now’s the time. No pressure — just a friendly nudge. Also: I’ve been diving deeper into the world of AI and agents, and I truly believe there’s a way to use these tools to support creativity, not replace it. That’s something I’ll be bringing more into the platform soon — think time-saving workflows, smarter outreach, and just making your life as a composer a little easier. Big thanks to everyone here for being part of this. Couldn’t do it without you 🙏 Let’s keep growing!

You are all probably already in preparations for the upcoming holidays and hopefully in chill mode soon! Just quickly wanted to wish you guys happy holidays and a great start into 2025! I also wanted to say thank you again to everyone joining this community. This all would be nothing without you! When I started the Audio Artist Academy in around the summer time of 2024 I would have never thought that we would be 1300 members strong. And the best part is, I honestly never ever have experienced a music community with an almost non-existing amount of toxicity! You rock! Stay as you are and here’s to a new year full of opportunities, projects, career paths and money! Cheerio, Alex

Congrats to @Rubén Contreras Diego for working on the music for the Delta Force announcement cinematic by Tencent Games and TiMi Studios! (Ruben, feel free to add the video if you want :))

Hey beautiful artists! Thank you so much for voting and brainstorming with me! I really appreciate it! From reading all your comments about my question about what I should do next, here is my personal impression: If the Cinematic Composition Course would happen it would be better to make this available as a single course and a one-fee payment. Even though I am pretty versatile and have a lot of experience, I think there are other and better specialists that you guys could learn from. I don't want to talk too much at this point I think we have found a cool solution that I will announce soon 🥳 Here is what's happing now 👇 Besides expanding this program with new videos, modules and courses, my second community here on Skool is already available. I felt like a lot of people are more interested into finally turning their skills into money ... so here we go! It is called Skill Profit Pioneers and its main focus is entirely about the process of monetizing your skills in any form or shape of teaching, coaching or how to videos! No matter if you are a singer, who want to give vocal lessons. If you are an orchestrator developing a new concept. If you found a revolutionary way in knitting ... it doesn't matter. Here is how it will work, please read carefully and I want to explain it as simple and easy as possible. If you are a Gold, Platinum or Iridium member of the Audio Artist Rise Program, you will get free access! Let me know if you are interested, and I will manually invite you. I only want to give access to the people that are really interested and seriously consider this step. If you want to fully focus on monetizing your skills, then Skill Profit Pioneers is the way to go. Here is my offer. Currently the platform is under construction but I want to make it available already and give you guys the opportunity to jump in as early and low priced as possible. Therefore you can get in as low as for 20 USD per month. This price will stay for you as long as you are subscribed.
