Hey everyone. I just uploaded the STRATEGIES & PITFALLS GUIDE, to check it out, just click on “classroom” at the top of the page. You need to unlock Level 3 - stage explorer to access this, and in Skool, to level up, you need to engage in the community. That's a way to give value back from the free ressource you're getting!! Let me know if that helps!

Hello again everyone! I'm writing to you today from somewhere over the North Atlantic just off Greenland where we were yesterday and which was the last port in Europe (although, geographically, Greenland is part of North America but it's generally tied to Europe) out of my 6 months tour on the Brilliance of the Seas, It's been lots of fun visiting many cities in Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, England, Scotland, Iceland and Greenland. We are heading back to America now where we'll be doing Canada and Northern USA ports mostly for the rest of my contract which will end in October. This is the kind of adventure you can look forward to by getting a cruise musician contract so, keep working on your material, and don't get discouraged if it takes some time for you to land your first contact, because once you get it, as long as you do your job well, you'll get another and another until you decide it's been enough sailing for one life time hahaha. Any way I wanted to post some more information about safety onboard because is stuff you will get bombarded with when you get onboard. There's always a period of adjustment after getting on a ship even if is not for the first time, every ship has a different lay out, it takes time to get to know your way around, and on top of that, for first timers there's all this safety trainings with lots of information about things that you're expected to put into practice almost immediately, so it can be a little bit overwhelming, but how cool would it be if by the time you get on your first ship and on to your safety training you are already familiar with the concepts they'll be talking about! I'm sure it would lighten the burden a little. So, I'll give you a brief definition of some of the more important concepts and terminology you'll hear and use on a daily basis onboard. Forward: The frontal part of the ship. Aft: The back part of the ship. Port side: Looking towards forward, is the left side of the ship. Starboard side: looking towards forward, is the right side of the ship.

When I was 17, I moved to London and spent 5 years struggling to make a living from my music. I jumped from one low-paying gig to another and never found real stability. In 2021, I discovered international contracts (like cruise ships and hotels), and it completely changed my life: I finally made a steady income from music, traveled the world, and even saved money. 🌍 Now I’d love to help other musicians find the same kind of opportunities. I also work alongside agencies that recruit artists worldwide, so I know what bookers are really looking for. 👉 I’m looking for a few musicians open to a short 20–25 minute chat. - For you: I’ll share free tips to help you move forward. - For me: it helps me better understand your struggles and goals so I can make my advice more useful. If this sounds interesting, drop a comment or send me a DM, and I’ll send you the link to book a call. 🙌
