Simplifying Musician Entrepreneurship
We are on a mission to ensure starting, running, and operating a business
can be easier for musicians, bands, DJs, and producers.
Starting any business, in any industry, is hard enough. In the music industry, building your business can be even harder.
Being an entrepreneur and taking the journey to be self-employed is one of the hardest things you can do.
In the music industry, that journey can feel even harder.
We believe that it’s time someone take up the mission to make this easier.
At Eleven, we promise to do our best to simplify musician entrepreneurship for the musicians, bands, DJs, and producers we cross paths with.
Simple as pie. (mmm, pie)

Your Career just needs to go to E.L.E.V.E.N.
It’s not just our name. It’s also our process. Music creators that understand how a business works
know how to grow their audience, increase income, and stay organized.
Entrepreneur (Own)
It doesn’t matter if you are juggling all of the business and music tasks yourself or have a team doing the business stuff while you are solely focused on performing and interacting with fans, you as the artist and face of your brand are the owner and leader of your music business.
Label (Market)
Independent artists know they either have to learn how to do all the marketing activities a record label traditionally does or delegate it to a team or virtual assistant who knows what they are doing. Brand messaging, campaigns, design, analytics, and more are all a part of marketing, and it can be overwhelming to conquer.
Experience (Sell & Engage)
Your fans aren’t just your customers. You need to build real relationships, include them in your artist journey, and make them feel like a part of your community. Without fans and true fans, your music career won’t go anywhere. To see growth, give equal time and attention to your fans as you do your music.
Vehicles (Delivery)
We don’t mean like the car you drive. Your music, merch, shows, and content are the products and services you need to deliver a rich experience and build a lasting community for your music and the fans that support you. Products and services you create need to be in demand (fans want them) and profitable (they make money).
Engine (Operations & Overhead)
When artists think of the business side of their music, chances are their brain is going here. This refers to the processes and administrative tasks that don’t feel important. While it may not directly be involved with the marketing, sales, or creation of your music, it is equally important to the health of the business.
New Revenue (Cash Flow & Management)
The first thing most musicians, bands, DJs, and producers struggle with, outside of creating great music, is getting those first sales and repeating the process to ensure regular income. Inspired by Profit First, our Thriving Artist Profit System helps you budget, prioritize, and ensure positive growth from day one.
