Does getting your music heard seem daunting? 

Does the new digital age intimidate and/or disgust you? 

Unsure how to stand out/get ahead in an ocean of new music?

Having issues with your workflow when it comes to running your band/project?

Finding all the advice online a bit much to process and too 'one size fits all’?

Trying really hard at everything and not feeling like it’s clicking for you?

Not getting as much satisfaction out of it all as you had hoped?

All of the Above? 

I might have the solution… and the good news is it’s cheap enough to take a chance on! ;-)

How it works:

My consultations are a bit like a physical trainer in the sense that I get a sense of your goals and situation and then make you a road map based on all the data that you can follow and apply to achieve the appropriate results - I don’t go running with you but I do lay out your path to ‘fitness’. 

Stage 1 - a 90 minute zoom call (including ten minutes brain/smoke/tea/phone addiction break) 

During this I will explain a few theories, methodologies and other industry insider knowledge. 

(I will also give you some feedback on your online presence, having researched it beforehand) 

I will also ask you about your aims and goals plus get a feel for the artist/band sensibilities etc.

I will then ask you about resources - time, money, contacts (often this is in written quiz format).  

THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS EXCEPT FALSE ONES! 

Because if you don’t tell the truth, how can what I prescribe work for you? 

Stage 2 - I make a fluid/malleable plan or roadmap that will last 6 months to a year that will take your project/release etc from start to end in the most efficient and productive way for you.

It will detail what to do when and who to involve plus a load of other handy things that will help.

I will suggest a promotional, managerial and working process that should revolutionise your project and, if applied diligently, guarantee results, more opportunity and feeling better about your musical career overall.   

Stage 3 - A 40min zoom during which we make sure you understand the roadmap and it’s various stages/actions and I answer any questions for you and if there is anything I missed, address that.  

The experience I draw from:

30 years artist/singer/songwriter/band leader with tours, awards, airplay and more under my belt.

30 years recording, producing, mixing and (5 years) mastering a diverse range of artists/bands.

20 years producing/presenting radio shows including my current The Fix on Totally Wired Radio.

20 years promoting and running gigs all over Oxfordshire (and beyond) including The Zodiac/O2 Academy, The Wheatsheaf (10 years of popular gigs), Riverside Free Festival and many more. (Putting on early shows and releasing early music by members of Foals, Desert Storm & more!)

20 years running an indie record label from the CD days (including discovering Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies) to the modern digital age for established (Kellindo Parker, Jennie ‘Bellestar’ Matthias etc) and underground artists (30 artists released in one year in 2022!).

10 years journalism/reviewer for various magazines and blogs (incl. Oxford’s Nightshift Magazine)

20 years Interviewer for Radio, local TV and YouTube shows of musicians from Foo Fighters, EMF, Brand New, Queen Adreena/Daisy Chainsaw, Spiritualised, Living Colour, Skunk Anansie, Dust Junkys & collaborators of Janelle Monae, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Sinead O’Connor & more! 

20 years (off and on) managing artists, products, projects, social media and more for a wide range of artists in a lot of different roles/areas from bookings to press releases to content editing, etc.

20 years of side jobs in sound, lights, crew, doorman, promoter, posterer/flyerer, PR, studios & more.

40 years of devoted fandom that makes me a font of knowledge on music information and still retain enthusiasm and the aspect of a fan that helps me know what they want from an artist.

Knowledge based on qualifications in:

Music Technology and Sound Production (City Colleges, Manchester - one of my lecturers later played bass for PJ Harvey, Frank Black and The Fall and another was in The Inspiral Carpets then)

PR and Management (School of Music Business - Matt Errington: Blondie/Placebo/Morrissey etc)

Sync(h) (School of Music Business - James Cooper: Ex-Sony sync dept.)

Mental Health in the Music Industry (the most useful one in a sense taken with a MH Professional)

Various other knowledge from placements in the industry, businesses, courses and researching a lot! 

I know everyone gives these free consultations nowadays but they always just want you to buy something pretty expensive and generic at the end - the beauty of my consultation is our relationship can end right there and you still benefit! Of course I will let you know of professional services (mine and other music professionals acting as an industry connection for you) with costs involved but they are optional and based entirely on what you specifically need and can afford within your stated budget.

The consultation is the lead product - anything that comes after is purely circumstantial and optional.

I am an artist myself and been through so many hurdles in my life - my job is to lessen your hurdles.

The cost is £150 per consultation/roadmap - I hope to keep this price low but can’t promise it forever...

My intention is to develop it into a course with tiers etc so now is the time to take advantage. 

Get in touch to book a stage 1 zoom call at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and let’s get started! 

PLEASE NOTE: I am available for temporary positions based on a retainer basis, should you be at the level that you require that type of work so feel free to enquire via email and we can discuss your project/pricing further.

Testimonials for my various work with artists/bands:

“Patience. Vision. Kindness. We're lucky to have found the UK's very own Rick Rubin.”  - Brodie (& Malky) Brown

“Lee Christian is a no nonsense professional, who cares deeply about his clients and their musical  development. Lee helped me with my social media campaign and when it comes to making decisions about your career, Lee is someone you'll want on your team.” - Dominic De Grande (PUN) 

“Meeting Lee was one of the best things that happened to our band. We discovered him on Groover and his professionalism caught our attention right away. We took advantage of his counselling service because, albeit having a mixed and mastered record already, we were still much in need of good advice on how to proceed. On top of being the nicest person in the business, he brought us fresh ideas and a thorough, sensible and tailored way for achieving them, thanks to his undisputed experience and his up-to-date vision of the music scene. We're doing our best to stick to the plan he crafted for us and the results show in spades. We highly recommend him!” -Nogaar

“As an emerging independent artist, I would like to thank Lee from the bottom of my heart for his open-mindedness, kindness, promptness, professionalism and diligence. Lee and Grace not only helped me take my first steps in my music career, but also helped me a lot with my artistic self-definition. THANK YOU!” - With Love from Intemporel

"I should say that Lee has provided one of the most human and at the same time outstanding artistic consultancy services for our band. He is very dedicated to the process and helps find the real things that need to be done to get closer to the better understanding of building artistic success." - Keel the Barber!
