ARTIST ACCELERATOR PROGRAM
APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN FOR FALL 2025 COHORT!
Ready to Turn Your Passion For Music Into a
Profitable Business?
When it comes to being an independent artist, turning your passion into a profitable, sustainable career can feel like an uphill battle. You’ve poured your heart and soul (and likely a lot of money) into creating powerful music that has the potential to change lives—yet you’re stuck with a handful of likes on Instagram and minimal streams on Spotify.
The truth is, you could make the most incredible music in the world, but if no one hears it, it doesn’t matter. The secret to thriving as an independent artist isn’t just about making great music—it’s about learning how to run your music career like a business. Without a plan, strategy, or team to back you, even the best songs can fall flat.
The Ascension Artist Accelerator was created specifically for artists like you—immensely talented, but lacking the resources, support, and structure needed to bring your music to the people who will feel it the most. This program will give you the tools, knowledge, and network to transform your artistry into a successful career!
PHASE ONE: THE PRODUCT
Writing, Recording, Publishing & Distribution
Artist Meet & Greet + Live Group Recording Session
We kick things off with connection and creativity. During the Artist Meet & Greet, you'll get to know your fellow Accelerator artists, share your sound, and start building relationships that could evolve into collaborations.
This isn't just small talk—we jump straight into the magic. As a group, you'll co-create and record a collaborative track right on the spot. Whether you're a vocalist, rapper, songwriter, or instrumentalist, everyone contributes to the vibe.
By the end of the night, you'll walk away with new connections, creative momentum, and a finished track that sets the tone for your journey.
Top Quality Recording, Mixing, and Mastering
Don’t settle for mediocre production. With UNLIMITED access to our state-of-the-art recording studio and sessions with one of the best engineers in DFW, your music will be elevated to a commercial level, ensuring it sounds as crisp and polished as possible for your audience..
Publishing & Distribution
It’s not just about making music—it’s about making sure you get paid and heard. In this workshop, we walk you through setting up your publishing rights (PROs like BMI or ASCAP) and digital distribution (DistroKid or similar) so your music can be properly released on all major platforms.
You’ll also learn how to collect your royalties, register your work, and protect your creative rights like a true professional.
💼 This is how you go from hobbyist to registered recording artist—with your paperwork, platforms, and profit streams in place.
PHASE TWO: THE MARKETING
Running a great recording session is just the start. The next step is refining those recordings into polished, industry-quality tracks that showcase why YOU’re the go-to engineer. This phase focuses on perfecting your work to deliver a professional product that impresses clients and elevates your reputation.
Creative Video Shoot
To make an impression, you need visuals that tell your story. You’ll get a professional video shoot to ensure you have high-quality content to market your music across social media, streaming platforms, and beyond.
Step-by-Step Content Creation & Release Plan
Releasing music without a plan is like performing without a stage. We’ll work with you to develop a release strategy tailored to your goals, complete with a step-by-step guide on content creation for maximum engagement on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.
