NEW: Ready to smash your music goals in 2024?

Since moving out of London, it’s been a real shame to see our music producer meet-ups discontinue. So I’ve been thinking about how best to continue to offer a service and support our artist community.

In early 2024, Escape Everything will be launching ‘Escape Artists’ - a group and 1-to-1 coaching programme, and community, to help you take your music ambitions to the next level.


Maybe you want to:

  • Get signed to a major label

  • Release your first single

  • Get consistent gig bookings

  • Finish more music

  • Perform at a festival

  • Launch your own record label

  • Go full-time with your music career

  • Learn self-promotion

  • Go on tour


Whatever your ambitions, our new programme includes 1-to-1 coaching sessions with James Garside, where you’ll hone in on your unique musical goals and develop a concise action plan of how to get there. You’ll also get group coaching sessions to discuss problems and learnings with the wider team, listen in as we find solutions and hold each other accountable for our targets. Finally, in our group writing sessions, we’ll each, individually, work on music at the same time - keeping each other focused and sharing our work for feedback, as well as tips and techniques to push our productions even harder.

Each month you will receive:

  • 1x 60min 1-to-1 coaching call

  • 1x 2hr group coaching session

  • 1x 2hr group co-writing session

  • Open access to the EE producer community

‘Escape Artists’ launch price £65/month - limited spaces available.

“Working with James has refined my process of forward momentum. I focus more on the bigger picture and what can truly be achieved each week. Instead of looking at the mountain and feeling deflated, I focus on the next few steps and keep moving forward. He gets to the core of what I need to hear/do/work through, without coming across as lecturing or having any judgement. This is quite a special thing indeed.” - Adam, London
