Testimonials

These are some of the people I have worked with.
They have been 1 on 1 clients and mentees and research candidates and BETA testers for my course as well.

'..zeroed in on the themes I was struggling with and came up with ways in which I could overcome them.'

As an artist who got a massive debut at a young age, I was struggling with an identity crisis. Everything felt meagre in comparison to 'singer' for a global icon like A.R. Rahman.

T.L. swiftly zeroed in on the themes I was struggling with and came up with ways in which I could overcome them.

He treats you like and equal  and will, in fact, time and again insist you challenge everything he says.

'..a lot of space cleared up as I understood where to channel my efforts, and what is not worth wasting energy on.'

You'll notice quickly how everything happens on an eye-level. Which means you're both student and the teacher. T.L. did a really great job of highlighting the different aspects of working in the industry. Especially understanding the differences between a 'freelancer' and 'entrepreneur'.

So a lot of space cleared up as I understood where to channel my efforts, and what is not worth wasting energy on.

''...I felt supported, seen, encouraged, guided, expanded and beautifully taught throughout the sessions. 

T.L. helped me take the pressure of myself and navigate the elusive expectations from society and the music industry.

I feel much more comfortable within myself now as a singer and musician, and my respect for my individual journey has developed considerably.

He helped me see that I am not alone with my struggles, which has felt like a LOT of weight lifted!

I thoroughly enjoy his ability to mix practical action steps with philosophical and emotional discussions. I really benefitted from the holistic style, and can honestly say his mentorship is exactly what I needed to grow as an artist.

'...resulted in an epiphany on how I needed to take courage and put myself out there.'

This was a synergetic experience where both the 'student' and the 'mentor' have the reigns to control the direction of the journey.

Active listening led to thought-provoking questions that pin-pointed some of the biggest challenges I hadn't even realised I was facing. And were intricately connected to my musical journey.

T.L.'s assignments and exercises sounded easy at first, but took more effort then I'd counted on once I started. But it never felt like instruction from a teacher to a student. More like a conversation between friends. And resulted in an epiphany on how I needed to take courage and put myself out there.

'..such a comfortable, co-creative and liberal space for professional, mental and emotional exploration and growth'.

T.L. is a magician!! Every session was filled with profound insight, information and expansive perspectives. He has a way of seeing things deeply at their core, sharing knowledge and providing solution in simple, natural and unique ways.

It was such a comfortable, co-creative and liberal space for professional, mental and emotional exploration and growth. He is a fabulous mentor and a mind-blowing artist himself and just a dynamic, kind-hearted and passionate human who leads by example.

 Something that really resonated with me strongly was how the interconnections between apparently separate topics like 'self-care', 'Being' authentic, 'finding your core', 'the why' or even spiritual aspects of music were addressed during the course. And all of it in context to the artists practice. 

Ferdinand Kavall
Award-winning Producer & Composer.
Berlin, Germany.

'...T.L. gave my eye-opening views that helped improve my overall personality as a musician.'

My biggest challenges were learning to say 'no' and prioritising my mental health. I would pay attention to the smallest details and let it affect me negatively. T.L. addressed aspects of being a musician that no-one really talks about. We discussed mindset, getting over writers block, strategies to work with fellow artists and collaborators, performance etiquette and most importantly, self-care.

'Fantastic content and an incredible body of work that's gone into it all.'

I'm so impressed by T.L.'s self-paced course. This has gotten me to dig deep into themes that I really needed to for a while. I've done a lot of work on my self but T.L.'s insights and questions bring a whole new dimension to it all with an additional depth and wisdom. It's given me a major boost in my artistic practice.
