Hey everyone! Workshop One was a great start 🥳 @Gary Benness and I worked through some of the biggest questions he’s facing in his career and mapped out a clearer pathway forward. Gaz has also joined the Premium tier and is already working through the Artist Foundation Course. Huge credit to him for taking another meaningful step toward building a sustainable music career. I’m excited to see what comes from it. These workshops are completely free, and every artist is welcome. My goal is to provide as much practical support as possible to help you move closer to your goals. If you’re on the Premium tier, jump over to the Workshop Recordings course, where you’ll find the full recording, action notes, and transcript. HERE Hopefully I’ll see more of you at the next one. The only thing I ask in return is that you share this opportunity with an artist who could benefit from it. Big love, Matt

Hey, I’m Gary James Benness! I've been best supporting role in other peoples musical stories for over 20 years, mostly as a bass player/guitarist/backing singer. For the last 7 years I have started to write and perform in my own musical story My sound is folk/country/blues/soul inspired I’m based in Quedjinup in Sothwest WA. Right now, I’m working on 'Being Better' - which is both the name of the release I'm working on and my current mantra. I've been chipping away in original music projects long enough to know that there's lots of potential for disappointment so I'm boiling it down to the tiniest incremental steps and working towards just being a little better at everything each time. My biggest goal at the moment is to build my public profile. I love to work at the music side of things but working at being seen and heard is my weakness. You can find me here: instagram.com/garyjamesmusician https://open.spotify.com/artist/39iJO28ySEDEEsdiU2uIuq?si=_W2bwyluQZadwHfYHX1Cdg Looking forward to connecting with everyone.
