The S.M.A.S.H.I.T. System
It’s frustrating this music lark isn’t it!!
The landscape’s constantly changing, your tracks never sound as good as everyone else's, platforms for promotion come and go and no one ever seems to be listening anyway!
There are 40,000 tracks being uploaded to Spotify every month. How are you going to get noticed?
And more importantly how are you going to stay noticed?
There are a couple of simple rules to remember.
​
The whole essence of music is communication.
As a Cre8ive musician you communicate with other musicians and other writers but also the world as a whole.
Your music needs to Communic8. You need to Communic8.
​
Therefore It's essential that you learn to speak everyone's 'language'.
This is why I built The S.M.A.S.H.I.T. System.
I’ve learnt so much as an award winning, multi platinum producer, songwriter, performer, Capitol recording artist, DJ, promoter and creative Director.
I found each role fed the other, made them stronger and gave me a more rounded understanding of the job and what was needed to engage with other Cre8ives, bringing me tremendous success in the process.

Why S.M.A.S.H.I.T.?
In music terms the word 'smash' is often referred to a track that hits the charts, often reaching the lofty heights of a No1!
But I think it goes deeper than that...
We're here to make an impact, an impact on your emotions, good or bad. We're here to smash open traditions, define new genres and leave a legacy.
​
Smash is also associated with a fist, not just a punch but a bump, an acknowledgement of something great and in these Covid times, a warm safe welcome.
