A COMPLETE TRAINING FOR NEWCOMER ARTISTS IN ALL CAREER RELEVANT AREAS

WE ARE FEATURED ON

Building a fanbase can be a HUGE CHALLENGE for newcomer artists

Building a successful career requires you to get good at many skills such as…

Branding & Vision

With an unclear branding, you will have no chance competing against artists with a clear vision and direction. This basic stage is the single most important part in an artist career.

Social Media

It’s not as simples as just posting pictures. Your content needs to be appealing to your audience AND work in the algorithm. Most people waste a huge amount of time posting content, that doesn’t work.

Release Strategy

Your track is done. Now what? Failing to have a proper release strategy in place will ultimately result in an underperforming release and a missed opportunity to start building hype.

Spotify Algorithm

Tied closely together to a release, but being a world on it’s own is understanding how the Spotify Algorithm works. Growth hacking Spotify is possible with the right actions set in motion.

Paid Ads

There is no way around social ads in the music industry of the 21st century. Yet running ads the wrong way equals burning money. Doing it right however unfolds a huge potential.

Bookings

Getting booked is the number one income stream for most newcomer artists. In addition fan conversion and content creation is tied closely to playing shows. With the right knowledge everyone can get gigs.

PR

How does one get featured in blogs and magazines? Luck is not the answer. Understanding the PR game will increase your reach and may help you to get discovered by an A&R of your favorite label.

How to run a label

Speaking of A&Rs. For some artists running their own label is the path to success. It has never been easier to set up your own label and to start releasing your own and other artists music.

Mindset

The path to success is a steep and rocky one. Having the right mindset in place for the day to day motivation is key on this marathon. Only the most driven artists will succeed.

Broken element - from disorganized producer to mainstage festival bookings

“Hi, my name is Joel, I'm a German Hardstyle DJ and Producer. Before I got in touch with Voltage Circus, my life as an artist was pretty chaotic. Managing emails, doing promotions, getting in touch with new people, connecting and even doing the producing part that was really overwhelming. Since I work with Voltage Circus, they completely changed my way of working and I can finally focus on making music again. I would say since starting to work with Voltage Circus, my career is now on a whole new level and I love that!”

Watch us build ad campaigns that work

FROM START TO FINISH

Unlike other courses, we actually show you how it's done by BUILDING real, live ad campaigns using the exact steps we implement for our gold & platinum winning artists.

We strive to be as actionable as possible throughout the training. You'll see us do real work, building real ad campaigns. Not only boring PowerPoint presentations (Ughh, no thanks’).

Instead, we recorded EVERY step of the process so you can follow along and implement everything we do. As we do it. Seriously, it doesn't get any more practical than this.

And if you happen to run into problems, you can always reach out to our staff in our weekly live calls and we will help you one on one.

WHAT OTHER VOLTAGE CIRCUS ACADEMY ATTENDEES HAVE TO SAY:

“Are you an artist struggling in the music industry? Voltage Circus Academy is your opportunity to get the knowledge you need to become a full-time artist. I would really recommend this course if you are an upcoming artist, who wants to go on to the next step in your career. Before I started the course, I couldn’t get any bookings. My Instagram account didn’t look so well. Also, I couldn’t get any releases on labels. 
My E-Mails don’t get ignored anymore and now I am in contact with important bookers. It definitely helps to connect with other DJs. And getting connections with people who have been in the industry for many years. This is a really professional course and I’m really thankful for it. Thank you Voltage Circus Academy."

Over are the times where you need to know the right people and have to live in one of the music hotspots from the get go

If you’re reading this now, you already have an unfair advantage. You have a chance to leapfrog 99% of other artists in your genre and build something that will pay dividends for years to come.

    YOUR AMAZING INSTRUCTORS

    Gernot Müller

    Gernot brings more than a full decade of experience to the table here at Voltage Circus. In fact, the company is his creation, stemming from the experience he received working for Armada Music and wanting to create his own music marketing agency with a brand new direction. 

    In the beginning of his career, Gernot was a DJ. He understands the struggle and needs of up-and-coming artists better than anyone, allowing him to imbue his own experience and knowledge into his company's marketing strategies. Eventually, he spent 6 years working for DanceTelevision (formerly DanceTrippin TV), of which he is now a shareholder. And finally, he made his way to Armada Music (Armin van Buuren) where he was responsible for online marketing. 

    During these 15 years working in the music industry, he learned everything he could about marketing for musical talent as well as consulting with international DJs. This passion and drive led him to launching Voltage Circus in 2019.  

    Henrik Koch

    Henrik has also been involved in the music industry for several years. Throughout his career before Voltage Circus, he spent his time managing small, independent artists as well as hosting events in Cologne. On top of this, he studied music business (a crucial skill for the marketing world).

    His skills, knowledge, and expertise make him an invaluable asset to Voltage Circus. We can attribute much of our growth to his collaborative work on the business and management front of our services.

    Adriana Dyakova

    Have booking questions? Adriana has the answers. She is the go-to consultant when artists have booking questions. Though she’s part of the Voltage Circus team, she has her own artist career as well, playing several shows per week in and around Cologne.

    Voltage Circus is always supportive of our employee’s dreams and personal endeavors. Adriana, when she’s not with us, also works as a DJ and hosts her own events in Cologne.

    Ellen Szombathy

    One of our newest members, Ellen, takes the lead when it comes to artist consultations in the areas of Social Media & graphic design. Her fresh ideas and creative mindset keeps us on the cutting edge of what’s possible in music marketing, always keeping her direction unique for every artist.

    She is the graphic designer and video editor for several big artists and events as well as an electronic dance music fanatic. Her passion and vigor drives us forward.
