What's Included In Hip-Hop EXCELerator?
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this program for?
Hip-Hop EXCELerator is geared toward new artists, producers, and audio engineers. You do not need any prior music experience to join this course.
Do I need to be a hip-hop artist to join this program?
By no means do you have to be a hip-hop artist to join this program. Although it is specifically geared toward new hip-hop artists, any artist from any type of genre can benefit from this course since the principles discussed can apply to any type of music.
How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?
Once you purchase Hip-Hop EXCELerator you immediately get full access to the entire course with LIFETIME ACCESS.
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 Hip-Hop EXCELerator.
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?
This course is specially geared toward people who want to learn how to use Logic Pro to record, mix and master. Therefore, I would highly recommend having a Mac with access to Logic Pro or at least Garage Band to get the most benefit out of this course. All the other recording equipment will be discussed throughout the course.
Should I invest in Hip-Hop EXCELerator?
Which do you believe would be worth more to you:
1. Spending hours scouring YouTube trying to learn how to create and launch your own song, trying to figure out all the different agencies to register it with to collect all your royalties, and buying expensive audio equipment with zero step-by-step skill developing practice exercises?
2. Investing just $249 today to develop the skills, resourcefulness, and knowledge you need to successfully create and release 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 Hip-Hop EXCELerator we breakdown the whole song creation process from start to finish, guiding you step-by-step. We cover the exact gear to invest in to create your own home studio and give different options for your budget to take your skills to the next level. We also walk you through tutorials of all the organizations you need to register your song with after you release it to collect all your royalties.
Professional audio engineers typically agree that having skills are more important than having the most expensive audio equipment.
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.
