You’re an independent artist looking to you take your career to the next level. I’m here to help you create music that connects you with your listeners and creates a loyal fanbase
1. You’ve gotten some traction on Spotify, but it hasn’t done much to change your career like you thought it would. The audience you are reaching is constantly changing or your retention is poor.
2. You’ve thought about releasing weekly because “that’s the only way to stay relevant and not be forgotten by your fans” 🙂 but you’d be bound for burnout and your music quality would suffer (as well as your budget). Besides, there’s easier ways to appease the social media algorithm gods that isn’t as draining.
3. You’re unsure if your sound is commercially viable but you don’t want to try to chase trends to appeal to everybody. Regardless, trends come and go. Trying to please everyone means you’ll please no one.
The Bottom line is…
The hard work you’ve put in hasn’t gotten you the results you’re looking for. Besides, how on earth are you supposed to survive on $0.003 per Spotify stream? You need fans who love you for you and are dying to see you live, buy your merch, and do anything and everything they can to support your brand. You need super fans.
Hi! I’m Stephen,
As I’ve been working with artists over the last few years I saw them coming across the same problems. We created a song, they released it, but the songs couldn’t seem to get them much more than streaming numbers, and streaming doesn’t pay much. We were missing the target entirely, high streams and overnight success is unpredictable, but getting 1000 fans to spend 50$ in a year is much more realistic and attainable. A slowly growing loyal fanbase and super fans that could be monetized over time should’ve been the goal. I had to ask myself a different set of questions.
How did the artists that I spent money on get me to that point?
What made them different from the ones I never bought anything from?
They had music with high production value and a high quality mix.
They were emotional, authentic, and open in their music. They didn’t sound like everyone else, it caught me off guard and made me receptive to their message, after all, it felt personal.
Points 1 & 2 made me curious enough about them to check out their socials (or effective ads brought me there).
They gave me a sense of community and emotional connection through their social media. This created an online relationship with me making me feel like I really know them and, in a lot of ways, I really do.
My unique collaborative approach will enhance your music and help you jumpstart a fulfilling music career.
Firstly and most importantly, I will provide you with a production that is sure to captivate your audience from start to finish and inspire them to dive into everything else you have to offer. My productions have constant movement in arrangement which keeps the listener from wandering off. Throughout the track I also infuse little bits of ‘ear candy’; or interesting, unique effects that accent certain parts of the production to drive in the emotional point. On top of this, I make sure my tracks have plenty of ambient textures and atmospheres so that they can be imagined to. Songs are always more memorable and impactful when the listener creates mental movies to them about their own real life experience. Finally, when I produce for you I can help you leverage the network of producers/songwriters/instrumentalists I’ve met over the years. Adding in extra hands isn’t always necessary, but if it could help and it’s within budget, I know the right people for the job.
But what if, after you have the song, you don’t have an executable game plan that ensures the song does the most it possibly can for you? I can also help with this. In the past I’ve helped clients brainstorm content ideas that can accompany the song so that when a potential super fan comes across it; they have more stuff behind the song they can dive into to really get to know you. We can help you implement a Facebook ad strategy that will reach your super fans and enable you to re-target them.
Let’s get started.
Here’s My Collaboration Process:
1. We meet over zoom to talk about your influences and why you got into creating music/what message you want to convey to your fans. This is also where I decide if we are a good fit.
2. I start a production from scratch or I work on the demo/song skeleton that you provide
3. We collaborate back and forth throughout the process. By meeting multiple times during writing we are able to effectively bounce ideas off of each other which ensures we create something unique, personalized and impactful.
4. I deliver the product to you in an easily accessible Google Drive folder ready for you to release to distrobution and add to any visual content you’ve created to go alongside it in the marketing process. The project is ready to bring you closer to your super fans!

What Clients Say

“When it comes to production, engineering and finding the right sound for an artist my brother Vibe Revive is the number one talent to go to. I’ve known him going on two years now and the work we’ve done together has been some of the best I’ve had the pleasure of being apart of! Vibe Revive is the one to go to for anything! Such a young talent with much greatness ahead of him!”
Dean Raynell
Mr. drifter
“Vibe Revive is an incredibly inspiring producer to work with. His ability to blend certain sonics from different references to birth a new baby is creatively fueling. His openness and friendship-like collaborations allowed for all walls and reservations to go down and our focus on the Art bloomed. A GEM in the world..”
