My Personal List of Elite Music Mentors
It's been proven time and time again that studying with an expert mentor can save you years of trial and error. However, there's an overwhelm of people promoting themselves online as "Experts." Sadly, many of them will never help you win, because they never developed the skills to help themselves win. They simply have no track record of success...
The good news is there's a very easy way to determine the credibility of your mentor... just look at their credits. If the person you're investing your time, money and energy into does not have major credits, awards, hit singles, or gold & platinum album sales, then you're learning from the wrong person. It's that simple.
This page contains an extensive list of experts who I personally know and recommend. I fully stand behind every single one as a proven expert in their field, with noteworthy credits and accomplishments.

Michelle Sabolchick
Michelle and I first met while we were both touring Japan with an artist in 2009, and her skills were instantly apparent. For the past 30 years she has been mixing artists including Elvis Costello, Gwen Stefani, Melissa Etheridge, Styx, Goo Goo Dolls and many more.
She is the Co-Founder of Soundgirls.org, and a Full Sail University Hall of Fame Inductee.
Michelle's program LISTEN!, in my opinion, is the singular online program that should be required for every serious musician because it teaches you how to utilize the one key ingredient that separates a professional recording or performance, from an amateur one, and that is how to properly apply EQ.
