because you'd pay about $73,000 and wait years for the same thing you can start today for free. nobody asks for a degree before you release a record, book a session or build a following — what it rewards is skill, relationships and a body of work. the blueprint teaches those directly: the craft, the business and the soft skills, without the years or the tuition. school works for some people — it just isn't a requirement here.
anyone who makes music. singers, rappers, writers, producers. new to it? you start at step one. been doing it a while? you probably still have gaps. maybe you taught yourself out of order and your sound shows it. maybe nobody's ever actually graded a track and told you what's wrong with it. maybe you know the technical side cold but nobody covered the business and people side, so you're one bad deal away from getting taken advantage of. those gaps cost you money. this fills them.
anyone looking for a shortcut or a guarantee. nobody honest can promise streams, a deal or a hit — and we won't. it's also not a degree program. it's for people who are willing to put in the work and learn the process.
talented and developed aren't the same thing. talent is what you're born with. developed is what you build on top of it — the ordered fundamentals, the feedback, the structure. raw talent with no foundation just means you're good at guessing.
here's what you actually get: skills you can use the same day — setting up a session, recording, editing and tuning vocals, a workflow you can repeat for every song — plus a real understanding of the music business and the soft skills that decide how far artists go. you also get:
- a community chat room where you can talk to other artists and drop your music in to be graded by the community
- the extracurricular resources: music career development plan, acoustic panel blueprint, pro tools shortcut keys, practice stems, home studio setup guide and pro tools templates
- quizzes and mastery
- an extended library with a new video every week, based on what members request
- 10% off storewide at a.co label
it's well-rounded learning, not just one skill.
no. you start at the very beginning. lessons are short and go one step at a time. go at your own pace — no deadlines, no pressure. most videos use pro tools, but the skills work no matter what you record with.
three simple steps — move between plans any time, and canceling just drops you back to lite.
- start on lite — it's free: a guided onboarding, the extended library, a preview of the full course, the chat room and a free pro tools template, so you lose nothing by looking around.
- go pro when you're ready to actually work through the course: the full 5-hour core course, the full resource library and pro tools templates, quizzes, unlimited songs graded in the chat room and 10% off storewide at a.co label.
- go artist if you're in houston and want up to 8 free hours a month of hands-on studio time, or you want the weekly community call and the referral program on top of everything in pro.
good question. this isn't instead of your sessions. it makes them better. the more you understand, the less time (and money) you waste guessing in the room. you walk in knowing what you want, and you get more out of every hour you pay for.
because it's built from how records actually get made — not bandlab guesses or random youtube clips. one guided path gets you to an industry-standard sound faster than piecing it together yourself, with a community of artists to share your music with and learn from. new or years in, it works the same way. and it keeps growing: a new video drops in the extended library every week, based on what pro + artist subscribers request.
no — that's the point. the core course is about 5 hours, but it's where you start, not the whole thing. the blueprint is a growing class: as members ask questions and request videos, the library grows to answer them, with a new video every week. you stay a part of it for as long as learning is in your best interest — and step away whenever it isn't.
then you're in the right place. you don't just watch — you share your own tracks in the chat room and get graded by other artists, take quizzes, ask questions and get real answers. and on the artist plan in houston, it goes further: up to 8 free hours a month of hands-on time in our studio, in a real room, plus a live call every week. not in houston yet? every track you share still gets graded by the community.
we can't promise that and neither can anyone else. what we can show is what's worked: some of the artists we work with went from 0 to millions of streams. the blueprint teaches the craft, the business and the soft skills that put you in the best position — you do the work.
yes. enrolling is free — no trial clock, no card. you start on blueprint lite with a guided onboarding, the extended library, a preview of the full course, the chat room and a free pro tools template. you only pay if you choose to go further.
any time, straight from your account with the manage subscription button — no need to contact us. you keep your plan through the period you already paid for, then you drop back to free lite. your account and progress stay.
your account is put on hold — not deleted. update your card from the login screen and you're back in.
once you're on pro or artist you get 10% off storewide at a.co label for as long as your plan is active. it's a student-only rate you can't get anywhere else.
honestly? getting rich isn't the point of this one. we built the resource we wish we'd had when we were starting out — real mentorship, real direction, without the price tag — and priced it so any artist, anywhere in the world, can actually get in.

the plans
- lite is free for everyone — no card. it includes a guided onboarding, the extended library, a preview of the full course and the free blueprint lite pro tools template. it also gets you into the community chat room, where you can share 1 track a month for community feedback.
- pro ($34.99/month) unlocks the full 5-hour core course, the full resource library (music career development plan, acoustic panel blueprint, pro tools shortcut keys, practice stems, home studio setup guide and the full pro tools templates), mastery & quizzes, request resources, unlimited community feedback in the chat room and the 10% student discount. it does not include houston studio access, the referral program or the weekly discord community call.
- artist ($139.99/month) is everything unlocked, including houston studio access and the weekly discord community call.

pricing & upgrades
there is no enrollment fee and no free trial. you pay nothing to join and we never ask for a card to join. if you upgrade later you do it inside your account through stripe's secure checkout, and you'll see the exact price and confirm it before you pay. you can switch between pro and artist at any time: moving up charges the prorated difference right away, moving down credits the unused time to your next invoice.
billing & cancellation (pro & artist)
- a paid plan renews automatically every month until canceled.
- prices are subject to change. we will email you at least 30 days before any price change applies to your subscription.
- cancel any time through the stripe billing portal — no need to contact us.
- canceling keeps your plan through the end of the period you already paid for, then your account drops back to free lite. your account and progress are never deleted.
- if a payment doesn't go through, your account is suspended (not deleted). update your card and access returns automatically once the payment succeeds.
- all payments are non-refundable, including any partial month.
student discount, referrals & community feedback
- pro and artist members get 10% off our other services — mixing, studio time, marketing, songwriting help and more — with a personal code. the referral program is for artist members only, and lite has neither.
- your code is personal to you. it works only while your paid plan is active and switches off if your plan ends or your account is suspended. purchases made with your code are checked against your account, and a code used by someone else is switched off.
- every member can share tracks in the community chat room for community feedback (lite: 1 a month; pro and artist: unlimited): other members and a.co label grade them with a letter grade and written comments, and you see who graded. the lite monthly count resets on the 1st of each month.
- houston studio access and the weekly discord community call are artist perks.
access & conduct
your login is personal to you. sharing course materials, videos, or your credentials results in immediate, permanent revocation with no refund. all access is logged.
your data
data usage & surveys: we collect and store personal information, such as names and contact details, voluntarily provided by you. this information is used solely to maintain records, reach out with support and educational opportunities (by phone, text, email or social media), and track data to provide insights on artist performance and development. we do not share or sell your information to third parties.
calls + texts
- by enrolling you agree that a.co label may call or text you at the number you gave us about your account, your progress, and upgrade offers.
- message and data rates may apply. reply STOP to any text to opt out of texts.
