Hello Everyone, My name is Ryan Gardner and I really want to help artists launch themselves into viable careers.  I have a bachelors degree in music business from Berkee College of Music , where I focused on marketing and artist development.  I decided to start this project because I love working with music and musicians (I am a musician myself) and I want to help people who are in all walks of life in the music industry advance their careers, weather that is to go from having a hobby to having a career or if you already have a career in the music industry to help you take the next step.

In any scenario I think we can safely say that launching yourself is all about setting a goal and working toward it no matter what that goal is.  Below are just a few of those steps that most artists need to take to launch themselves or their career.
