About me
Hi, my name is Sean and I’m the founder of Fast-Forward Music Mentoring. Throughout my 9-year music production journey, an overwhelming majority of the progress I’ve made has been the result of trial and error (emphasis on the error). It is thanks to this struggle, however, that I have developed an incredibly deep understanding of what truly goes into making a standout record.
But understanding how to make high-quality music is only one piece of the puzzle that is a successful music career. In today’s music industry, the artists who succeed not only make great music, but can create it with unwavering consistency. They have learned how to create a high quantity of high-quality work, month after month after month.
In short, the most successful artists are those who have learned to be prolific.
In studying this topic, I quickly realized that the most prolific artists are those who follow some type of formula. They finish amazing music with predictability - like clockwork - because they have found a guaranteed structure that enables them to do so. This led me to put everything I had into developing a system that would allow me and anyone I work with to achieve the same results.
After researching for 9 years, graduating from a top music college, and working with dozens of expert mentors, I am proud to say that I have developed that system.
And thankfully, you don’t have to take the long route like I did. If you’re reading this you’re in luck, because you’ve come across an opportunity to shave years off your learning curve. My goal is to take you from wherever you are now in your journey and turn you into the production powerhouse you must be to reach your goals in music.
My resumé
You might be wondering what gives me the ability to advance your music production in such a powerful way, and I totally understand. Here’s my story.
I started producing music in 2013 using Ableton Live and immediately fell in love with the program. For 4 years, I produced music while attending the University of Maryland and earning a bachelor’s degree in marketing. After I graduated in the spring of 2017, I moved to Los Angeles, CA to attend ICON Collective College of Music the following fall. Since graduating from ICON in 2018, I have been consistently releasing music under the artist alias STICKYFANGAZ.
Creating the music I’ve always dreamed of making is a gift I get to experience every day, and it’s my goal to help you experience that same feeling day in and day out. If you feel like you’re ready to take things to the next level, complete an application and I’ll be in touch soon. I can’t wait to meet you!
