  • HOW TO USE THIS COURSE
    The VOICE KEYS are set of Tools which teach & guide people in the practice of SOMATIC SOUND • SOMATIC: "Somatic is a term that’s been used more frequently over the past few years as scientific research has proven that, as humans, we store memories, experience and emotions on a cellular level. Which means, it’s not “all in your head”; rather, our bodies hold data as well. Areas such as : relationship, intimacy, those seeking a feeling of security, wanting to feel trust, over/under achievers, parenting skills, managing anxiety, working though depression and other emotional difficulties. In somatic therapy, we educate clients about what body awareness is, and how to cultivate body awareness in and around your body. This is a prerequisite to creating change on a cellular level. We begin by identifying areas of tension and areas of constriction, as well as thoughts, feelings and behaviors that promote a feeling of calm and safety, and bring these to conscious awareness. We may practice something small such as softening a “hunched” back to a more straightened posture, to begin working towards body alignment. By focusing on, and amplifying the sensations in your body, you begin to deepen your healing experience and allow for change that you can “feel” in your skin." - integrative psych • SOUND: "We are in the midst of a body/brain/nervous system REVOLUTION. We have the neuroscience. We are becoming trauma informed. We favour co-regulation. We know that the brain prefers music over anything else." - Music and the Brain Allison Davies "Your vocalisations can be a portal to accessing what's known as the Social Engagement System of your vagus nerve. This is the state that primes you for communication and connection. You feel calm, connected, and safe. Your voice will have variation in rhythm and pitch, your body will feel comfortable, your breath full and your posture relaxed." - Jessica Maguire THESE PRACTICES ARE ACCUMULATIVE. The more you do them the more you'll feel them & the easier it will be to slot into them on command & use them as you need. As you come to find which practices suit you best it is good to practice SOME sort of Somatic Sound every day by finding your own RELATIONSHIP & routine around it. There are many ways of expressing Somatic Sound in our lives - do you like to sing in the shower? Breathe & Stretch when you wake up? Hum whilst you do the dishes? Tone-Release to de-stress & regulate ? Find what works for YOU. THIS WORK IS AUTODIDACTIC This means it is SELF - LEARNED. In order to really find our OWN tune in life & RESONATE at our best frequency we need to develop a relationship with our inner-voice. When we develop our self-trust and ability to feel safe & stable & centered we are able to tap into that deep inner knowing.

  • BEGINNER - INTERMEDIATE MUSICIANS & PRODUCERS
    MUSICIAN Musician, singer, songwriter - you have a basic understanding of music through lessons or are self-taught, but are not very tech-savvy. You may even fear technology.

Have complete creative freedom and be able to produce your own backing tracks to play or sing the moment inspiration hits. PRODUCER You know you have incredible sounds, riffs, melodies, beats, and whole songs inside you but aren't musical at all.

  • CAREER FROM HOME OR REGULARLY TOURING
    CAREER FROM HOME You are already established and confident on stage. But circumstances limit your ability to grow your following. Maybe you are from the old paradigm where labels took care of everything and now as you decide to learn how to manage yourself, are overwhelmed with the sheer number of tools, apps, and technology. Maybe your body has let you know gigging and touring days are behind you but you are still full of music. Maybe you have a family and at least for some time, you must be devoted and present to create a happy home. What you want is to keep making and sharing music online, you want to bypass years of learning through trial and error New tools, and strategies only for platform discovery and advertising algorithms to change. You want to know the best tools, get the best strategy, follow clearly defined steps, and have total confidence in getting the desired outcome. TOURING NOMAD You've been working tirelessly at your music, have a few singles, maybe enough original songs for a whole album or one-hour set, but have yet to perform live. And you spend every waking minute dreaming about playing on the main stage at your favorite festival. You're not tied down by any commitments, and have enough cash in the bank to invest in

  • Wk3: Marketing, Selling, Branding & Purpose and YOU
    What started out as a raw & real session of vulnerable shares, lead to a potent transmission of what it takes to bring out our true genius to reach our audience and connect our message to the world. MONEY STORY DEEP DIVE 1. Identify your blocks & limiting beliefs around money 👉 Some common limiting beliefs about money may include: Finances are too complicated. If I invest, I’ll lose my money. I’m too old to start building wealth. You need money to make money. I’m not in the right financial place to start planning. I’m afraid of working hard only to fail in the end. I don’t deserve large sums of money. I’m afraid money will change me. If I have a lot of money, people will take advantage of me. 👉 Next, once you've found the leading belief blocking you, spend some time envisioning it in a scenario playing out a scene of this happening as if it were characters in a movie.... see the colours, the characters, the feelings, paint it vividly. Then flip it. Add humour to it. Make it playful & turn it on its head. Find a way to rewire your brain around how this belief has ruled you & your life so far. It's time to Change the Game. 👉 Create a NEW belief & phrase that trumps the old one & blows it out of the water with empowerment & liberation. Spend some time envisioning your NEW scene like a gif or movie looping over & over so you rewire & rejoice in your birthright of abundance & your calling & deserving. Feel it in your body. Make it real. 👉 Final part of this homework: Write a love letter to money QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF IN QUESTING FORWARD: How can I make it easier? How can I make a movement around it - so others are doing it WITH me? How can I upgrade and on-sell higher ticket items or at least add multiple tiers and ways for people to engage with me. (Those that can only afford the lower price STILL get access to you... those that want MORE have the opportunity to access more of you) BE A BEACON! Rather than hustle and push - be expansive & magnetic & convinced by your OWN Passion & Purpose. This will make you Magnetic. This will help your people find YOU ! NEXT LEVEL YOUR OFFERINGS: 👉 Create an emotional connection with the title for your offering (people need to FEEL it & GET it instantly) 👉 Make a catch-phrase / elevator-pitch / sentence that covers it so simply and magnetically that people feel it & know it instantly 👉 Create your FREE OFFER (your BBQ that people can come & get to know you, date you, "try before they buy" & be completely encapsulated by you). This often looks like: a one day event or seminar, an online 3 or 5 day deep-dive, a 21 day challenge etc.

The first born son to a Filipino migrant father and an Australian born Dutch mother, James would earn his stage name early in life simply by being the eldest. “Kuya” in the national Filipino tongue means “older brother”. A term of endearment and respect that he would gain not only from his biological family, but from the families he has made within communities spanning music, dance, culture and theatre; locally in Darwin, nationally and internationally. He is an ARIA nominated producer and artist, from starting out as a bass player for numerous bands in his hometown, he went on to produce pulsating beats with a strong love of synths and sub bass that challenge even the most well built PA systems. He is also the producer of Darwin Festival’s CLUB AWI which he started in 2016 and is a co-founder of the Asian creative collective - TANGAN. Over the past 2 years, Kuya James has presented 2 x sold out PINOY STREET PARTIES, one as part of Darwin Festival in 2020 and another in 2021 in Adelaide at the OZ ASIA festival. He was the musical/co-artistic director for the HALA BIRA festival which had its debut on August 27th, 2022 with an attendance of over eight thousand people. Kuya James started 2023 producing acclaimed singer-songwriter Emily Wurramara’s new record and is also releasing 3 of his own albums throughout the year. He has produced for many recording artists including Tasman Keith, Caiti Baker, A.B Original and Daniel Johns. He was also Musical Director of the Indigenous Fashion Projects runway at Australian Fashion Week which included performances by Jessica Mauboy and Melanie Munuggurr. In May 2023 he premiered his brand new immersive music / dance and theatre show HYMNS FOR THE WITCHING HOUR at Brownsmart which has received rave reviews from audiences across a 10 night season. Kuya James is also a sought after DJ who has a reputation of rocking crowds whether it be in his hometown of Darwin or festivals across the country.

Chunk down backwards to NOW & make sure to give enough space to arrive at the deadline EARLIER (eg; be finished a MONTH earlier than when you REALLY want it done) 3. To keep us accountable we will ARRIVE at a point earlier with our MID SEMESTER ASSESSMENT by presenting in the ONLINE FESTIVAL. Start thinking: "What can I present as the half-way mark to my bigger goal at the online Festival ? eg; a sneak-peak of a song you've recorded & how you did it & what it's about... Or a masterclass on something you wish to sell later on etc. 4. WANNA GO NEXT LEVEL? Create a Sigil for your Vision Or your REFRAME. And EVERYTIME you notice yourself think or feel your limiting belief, PATTERN INTERRUPT IT by chanting that reframe in your head whilst picturing your Sigil. How to make a sigil: 👇 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL8FFeHGHDs 5. Revamp or Revisit your Future Pace Track & make it a Routine in your life. Listen to your Future Pace track at least once a week. Feel free to Create a New Future Pace or tweak the one you've got. Bonus points to listen Whilst Envisioning your Sigil ✨🙌✨🔥⭐️

The Base forms our Foundations. The Grounding, Stability & Security needed to Anchor your Vision. Musically it represents the 1st note of the Scale - the Tonic or Root - & is the basis by which the entire song is formed on & can go with every other note on the scale. In this Level we Create the Structure needed to sustain ourselves. In the right environment anything can thrive. Without foundations our ideas are just castles in the clouds.

Please take some time to JOURNAL on the following:

  • List the ways to fully Back Yourself right now & this year?

  • Have you created the right SPACE for your Success ?  What could you do to improve in your environment & routine around this?

  • What's your relationship with Money / Stability / Balance
