Results We've Helped Create
“Studying Music Business with Andrea Smith has helped me turn my music into a full-time profession. I used to be a banana picker, but using the skills that I learnt from Andrea, I have now forged a career as an international recording and performing musician playing sell out concerts across Australia, Japan, USA and the Pacific and am a QLD Music Awards winner and Golden Guitar Award nominee that has my videos played on Country Music Channel. I really recommend young people to take their music to the next level through education with Andrea.”
“Andrea knows all the ins and outs that really count in creative business. The knowledge and ideas I’ve gained from her have really given me the confidence to get out there and get my business known. It’s a scary thing starting a creative business, and being in the limelight, but Andrea makes it that much easier and so much less stressful.”
“I’ve known Andrea since the year the Berlin Wall came down. She has always been an inspiring, driven, passionate and exceptional leader. She was a highly respected teacher and mentor to so many bands and artists years before she even “officially” started teaching. Her allegiance will always be to the art, the artist and also preserving critical ethics which she stood strong on before her interest and subsequent immersion in the field of copyright / intellectual property and artist protection / empowerment. Her style would also give Vivienne Westwood a run for her money and she happens to be a really amazing GRRL too! Well done and congratulations to anyone fortunate enough to work with / learn from Andrea.”
"Andrea’s help gave us a way forward which related directly to our particular situation, I felt confident in the way forward and that we understood how to ensure compliance."
