Meet Your Instructor

My name is Tommy Kodel. I'm an independent gospel hip-hop artist and music mentor, who helps new artists create and distribute their own music, cutting away hours of trial and error.

My music career started when my brother moved to Japan over a decade ago and left me with a few pieces of recording equipment I had no idea how to use. Since then, I invested countless hours and dollars into building my own home studio, releasing music, and learning how to record and produce on my own.

Now that I've dropped an album and plenty of singles, traveled the country performing live on dozens of platforms, and learned the complex backend of the music industry, my desire is to raise up new artists to help them avoid the same mistakes I made in my early years as an artist.

  • You want to become more familiar with the backend of the music industry.

  • You want to know where to register your songs in order to collect all your royalties so you can get paid from your music.

  • You are a beginning or intermediate artist looking to take your skills to a whole new level.

What Categories Do We Focus On?

  • New artists seeking to learn about the music industry.

  • New artists ready to distribute their music correctly.

  • ​New producers interested in learning how to collect their share of the pie.

Who Is This Course NOT For?

  • You already know everything about the song distribution process and the music industry

  • You already know how to collect all your royalties and can name every society you need to register your music with to stay protected.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this program for?

Do I need to be a hip-hop artist to join this program?

How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?

Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?

It is possible to eventually learn all of this material on YouTube. However, it will take hours upon hours of trial and error to figure it all out since all the information is not all in one place in a sequential order, such as it is on Distribution and Promotion.

Watching YouTube videos can be detrimental to you if you are taking advice from content creators who are not as experienced as they claim to be. Starting your music career with the right knowledge and processes is crucial to your success as a new artist.

Free knowledge is great to an extent, but it is true that when you pay for knowledge, you tend to pay attention to it a lot more.

What equipment do I need to have before I start the course?

All you need to enroll in this course is a functioning Mac or PC to follow the steps in the videos. Having a song or music ready for distribution and promotion is ideal, but is not a prerequisite.

Should I invest in Distribution and Promotion?

Which do you believe would be worth more to you:

1. Spending hours scouring YouTube trying to learn how to launch your own song, trying to figure out all the different agencies to register it with to collect all your royalties, and how to properly promote it, making mistakes along the way that will ultimately cost you more time, money, heartache, and pain?

2. Investing just $49 today to develop the skills, resourcefulness, and knowledge you need to successfully release and promote your own music, not having to worry if you are wasting your time or doing it right, avoiding rookie mistakes made by new artists without proper guidance, ultimately saving you a ton of time and money in the end.

Inside Distribution and Promotion we breakdown the whole distribution and promotion process from start to finish, guiding you step-by-step. We cover the exact organizations to register your music with, and give you professional tips on how to promote your music in order to take your skills to the next level. Although I cannot guarantee you will get rich off your music, at least your foundation will be set up for success to collect all your music royalties when you do blow up!

But at the end of the day, it's your decision. I can only show you the door, but you are the one who ultimately has to walk though it.
