THE MYT JOURNEY: XANDER

Without MYT, there is no way at all that I’d be where I am now.

Finding your way in the music industry when you start out feels nearly impossible - it’s like the blind leading the blind. A mate recommended MYT to me back in September 2020, which was around the time I’d resolved to give production a proper go. I’d been DJing full time for 3 years by that point, and come to realise that there was a hard glass ceiling in place. To get to where I wanted to be, I needed to learn to produce.

I came at first to MYT absolutely knocked over by the quality of all the tracks in the feedback sessions. I was expecting a load of people to shit on my tunes, quite frankly, which were miles behind everyone else. What happened was quite the opposite. I got from the community at large nothing but encouragement, and from Paul, specific, actionable feedback to help each tune become the best it could be. Those feedback sessions, and generally the personal touch that Paul and the team give, are absolute gold. The courses, too, are fantastic if there is a specific area you want to improve on - whether that is sound design, arrangement, mixing & mastering or songwriting.

I’ve been a member of loads of different music mentoring communities in the 5 years since. MYT is the highest quality service by a distance, as well as being the most reasonably priced. For the price of a couple of pints a month, you will get specific guidance that will make you a better producer, and if your experience is anything like mine, help you to fall in love with making music.

I’m now in a position where my records have done more than 1.5M streams on Spotify, I’ve had multiple Beatport Top 20s, and artists like Sasha, Sam Divine, Marco Carola and many more have been playing my tunes out.

Without Paul & the team at MYT’s help, there is not a chance in hell I would be anywhere near that. If there’s one thing you do this month, try this. Commit to it, and you won’t regret it.
