Here we look at two different techniques for setting up a creative template - that I used for two tracks on my new album. Presave “Nocturne“ on Spotify now!

Join me on my journey to release my first studio album. Is there a way to release an album in 2024 and make it financially viable? This is the fourth part to my journey - the template. Each week I’ll outline every step of the process from initial ideas all the way to manufacture and setting up your shop.
My album is now on preorder - with a free sound pack! - and the physical release and mailout date is 18th April.
Thank you to the incredible musicians who played on my music and the talented engineers who helped me get it over the finish line:
