Meet The Specialist

Hi, my name is Matt Jacoby! I have been a drummer for 28+ years (3 bands + 2 albums) and am now dabbling in learning the piano, trance music production and DJ mixing.

I was involved with our local music award show for 15 years as a board member and volunteer, and the Front of House and Red Carpet coordinator for 11 years. I’ve also hosted several local shows and coordinated with venues, bands, and other local music businesses.

I have been a web developer for 23 years, a digital marketing strategist and marketing automation specialist for 9 years, and formerly hosted and produced a weekly NAMM-inspired podcast for 2 years.

I previously owned and operated Octave Media, a digital marketing and managed web hosting agency where I helped brands in the musical instrument, pro audio and event technology industries use digital marketing more effectively.

I have a strong passion at the intersection of technology and the future of the music industry, and for helping musicians and bands succeed in making their passion a true career and for returning the power and control to the industry’s content creators.

Areas Of Your Career I Focus On

  • Life Planning
  • Digital Marketing
  • Cashflow & Profit First
  • Business Strategy / Operating System

Ways We Can Work Together

  • Virtual via Zoom or Google Meet

Launch Your Music Career With a Real Plan

Launch Your Music Career With a Real Plan

I’m a music career success specialist who
wants to see you succeed in music.

Ken Found Clarity and a Path Forward:

“I used to work as a full time musician, but pulled back to (very) part time for a good decade or so. Recently I’ve had a desire to return professionally back to music, but didn’t really know where to start. I felt lonely and overwhelmed, like it was too much for one person.

My search for music career coaching lead me to Eleven. I started my coaching sessions with Matt focused on life planning, and it lead me to start some important conversations with people that I had been putting off for a long time. Once I had those conversations, I gained all kinds of clarity regarding what I truly wanted. Obstacles dissolved and suddenly I had a path forward.

Today I’m making steady progress towards my goal. Now when I stagnate, I notice it, and make a conscious effort to take an action that keeps me moving forward. I treat myself as an entrepreneur and talk about my work with others in the same way. That shift in thinking has helped me realize my agency in work and life.”
