Let Me Tell You a few Secrets
About the Music Business
Do you believe in myths while failing to see the truth?
Most people believe that you need a “break” to succeed in music. They talk about luck, about other people opening doors for you and are sorry for not having enough “connections”. Do you believe that you need a manager, an agent or a label to “break through”? This is a common mistake.
I’m sure you tried to find “the right person” for a while now. You wrote some polite emails, asked people to introduce you and even begged a few people/companies to take you on their roster. It’s no wonder, after hearing a 1001 cinderella stories that you still expect to “get discovered”.
I have some good news: You don't need
anyone else to succeed in music
This course is about getting you back in the driver’s seat and help you regain the control you have lost on your career. No more confusing/conflicting messages, I will help you expand your tour, boost your fan base and communicate your message in the best way possible from on stage and to social media. You will become a more productive person and will never again have to rely on elusive, unattained people.
I became a successful musician in spite of many barriers. Nobody gave me a rule book to go by and it took me 12 years to figure out the way to do it. I’m a highly logical and system driven person, this is why I have a method that can be taught, and you can recreate it by joining this course. It had worked for me and for many musicians. It will work for you too.
A Few Reviews About Why DIY Music:
"Nani's insights and tips really inspired me to get to work and promote my String Quartet. After quitting our agent, I had to sell our programs myself. Noam made me see the benefits of being self-sufficient and now I’m even having fun at it."

A Few Reviews About Why DIY Music
"The private session I had with Nani was utterly professional and inspiring. I was very impressed by Nani both as a person as well as an artist, nevertheless as an independent one. There's so much to learn from her unique path in the music industry. Highly recommended".
Irit Dekel
Singer Songwriter, IL
"The panel chaired by Nani was highly inclusive bringing together, providing access to new festivals and directors and agents interested in working with artists from other continents. Regrettably time and networking time was far too short for the numbers of people who wanted to exchange ideas"

Hi, I’m Nani
As a young musician, I shied away from booking gigs. It was difficult for me to “sell myself”, my networking skills were, how shall a put it, a disaster… and to say: hey I’m good enough so you should book me was way out of my league. Somehow, although I didn’t believe in this attitude, I still tried to fulfil it’s expectations and it didn’t do me a great service.
Nothing seemed to help: I studied music in the best schools: the Amsterdam Conservatory, the Buchman Mehta school of music and the Jerusalem Music Academy. Only when I realised I had to play to my strengths I had cracked the code: all I needed to succeed in music was to be myself and go with it all the way.
I Am / I Have:
– Toured worldwide in 30 countries
– Played in more than 100 cities
– Performed in front of 1,000,000 people.
– Make a living from making music only.
– All my projects are ones that I founded myself.
– Consulted/Taught more than 1000 students
– Lecture and give masterclasses 20 times per year worldwide, to help musicians like you to reach a thriving independent career.
I developed a system, that I want more people to benefit from: this course.
Join me and an inner circle of DIY musicians and give YOURSELF the break you’ve been waiting for. This is not a quick bandaid solution. Why DIY Music is a method that will last you months and years. So if this sounds attractive to you, this is your opportunity to join.
