Working with Harriet and the Secret Session team was the boost I needed when I was breaking new ground in my music career. Harriet helped me to understand what my strengths were and what was making me stand out as an artist. I gained a sharper skill set with the likes of communication with my fanbase, investors and elevating the business side of my music project. By the end of the course I had a lot of clarity in how to activate my audience and communicate my narrative as an artist.

The Secret Sessions Course has been an absolute game-changer for me. The course has completely changed my mindset about how to promote my music and myself and I’ve gone from having pretty much no idea about building a fan base to having a clear strategy for the next 12 months and being confident about the implementing the necessary steps. Being at the start of my journey, I was intimidated by the idea of sharing a space with a group of much more established musicians and was worried that I would be seen as a fraud, but I couldn't have been more wrong as I discovered an incredibly supportive, helpful, and inspiring community of artists who really gave me confidence. The coaching from Marie was priceless and the course content itself is well-structured, thought-provoking and practical. I highly recommend Secret Sessions to anyone who wants to pursue a journey in music, no matter where in your journey they are. Before I couldn't picture a route to success, but now, three months later, I can see a path laid out clearly in front of me.

The Secret Sessions Academy has been great for me. Taking the time to strip everything back & really look at all the elements of my artistry. What do I want to make? For who? Why? What are my goals & why do I want them? Do my actions align with what I say my goals are? It's been such a process of self reflection & I feel so empowered by my realisations & decisions. This industry will have you believe that no one cares if millions of people don't care. That's not true. It's about finding my tribe, & I'm so excited to make a little world for them, for us.

I've worked with several coaches on different areas of my business over the past 12-18 months, but the lessons and work I got from Harriet was kind of the thing that finally put the icing on the cake! Thinking about it now, her advice around "the boring stuff works" is really the stuff I have been avoiding because it wasn't as clear as other things I was doing to build and grow. But by adding in these other pieces from Harriet, I feel like I can really apply a "rinse and repeat" process to ensure more growth going into the new year. Thank you!

Working with Secret Sessions has been a game changer. Not only did it help simplify down an ever changing industry, it help me find easy to manage points to focus my career forward. It's also financially not a deal breaker!!! I was most surprised about how much I had been overcomplicating things. Creatives can get very in our own heads about things, speaking for myself, and I was running around trying to tick all the boxes instead of coming back to my craft and my artistry. I have way more power than I realised! I have released 10 songs now, since going SSA, I have released 3 in 6 years, and then 10 in 1 year which I think gives enough stats to sum up the change in me.

Harriet provided comprehensive and clear support, breaking down industry ideas that felt inaccessible into really practical and simple steps. Music feels doable again, and the learning that I received I’ll unpack in the years to come. So grateful!

This course changed the way I look at my music career. Instead of staring blankly at streams & bleak royalty statements, it allowed me to focus on the fanbase in front of me and work out how to sell to them. When someone asks you plainly 'why are you an artist', it makes you focus on the things you care about, building the career tailored to you and only you. The Secret Academy's 1000 fan method is one all artists should be thinking about in the modern music climate and it will help combat feelings of burnout, anger and frustration as you will be able to build on measurable goals whilst staying in your own lane. Although the course is an investment, following Harriet's advice, I made the money back through bespoke gigs, merchandise, function shows and other opportunities that I sought out with strategies I learned on the course. If you're looking for support & community, look no further! If you are prepared to put the work in for this course, I could not recommend it more highly.

It was great to be part of Secret Sessions Academy! Harriet is a great coach who taught me how to treat my music as a business. The most surprising part of Secret Sessions and Harriet's approach is that I don't need to sell out myself, unlike what I thought before joining the programme, instead authenticity and human connection are key for the success of your music business and for building long lasting relationships with industry people and your fans. Now, I am more confident in releasing my music, creating content that speaks to my persona and connects with my audience, creating and selling my products, communicating with my fans, and I know now what steps are necessary to build and grow my fanbase. I recommend everyone to join the programme: it will unlock your potential!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Harriet for many years, and she continues to blow me away with her exceptional abilities. She’s capable of being a compassionate listener when you need support and a driven motivator when you require a push. Her courses are an absolute gems, and you won't regret enrolling in any of her offerings. Harriet's deep knowledge and understanding of the creator economy are so comprehensive. She stays up to date with the latest trends and developments, ensuring that her courses are always relevant to this ever changing industry. If you’re on the fence about working with her, rest assured that you will only benefit and you’ll acquire invaluable skills that will enhance your journey financially and artistically. And these skills will stay with you for the rest of your career.

The best part of the SSA was knowing that there are other musicians and creatives out there all battling the same tide. But, we're actually on the same side, not against each other. Having Harriet sharing her knowledge and encouragement put a lot into perspective about what is achievable and how to go about it. It definitely is an understanding of the process and how and why it works. The trick is in the understanding and shift of mind set. No quick fixes, hard work and keep learning from feedback. I didn't know what I didn't know until someone who knew showed me. Before the sessions I was a lot less confident because I didn't know how to self promote (and didn't understand the importance!) Now I understand what it's about. And that it'll take time and that things don't happen over night, and if they do, they'll likely crash and burn. For someone on the fence, have a think about what's stopping you from progressing. It might be lack of knowledge, confidence or 'nothing is working'. Any of the above and I would seriously consider joining Harriet JW. All the best GW

Having regular support and cheerleading from Harriet and a community of other artists is great. The whole ethos of connection and community-building has been really helpful for me and has led to lots of other opportunities I wouldn't have expected. I also found the branding exercises really helpful. The most surprising part was the range of other genres artists taking part were working in. I now feel like my brand is clearer (finally!) and I can actually see a path to building the engaged audience I've been looking for. Thank you!

Secret Sessions Academy offers tools to take artist’s careers to the next level by emphasizing relationships and storytelling. Social media isn’t looked at as a place to gain fake metrics, but rather a way to connect with fans and share your journey. The program really changed my perspective on what truly matters as a professional musician and how “making it big” means nothing if you aren’t able to keep it that way.

Secret Sessions Academy helped me to realise what else I needed to do other than make great music, get awards and endorsements. It helped me to become comfortable being 'just me' in my own unique way which is authentic and feels right. It's helped me connect with new fans on a deeper level and has lead to more opportunities.

I would always run a mile when I heard the word ‘brand’. The concepts felt cold and something to do with big corporations or something. But SS helped me see that brand doesn’t need to mean cold-calling or something ‘other’ and that really it means the kind of person you are can be part of how you present yourself and therefore your brand. In my case for instance people seem to respond well to the fact I come across as ‘genuine’. I’ve been teaching for years and have realized therefore I have particular skills that can engage people in a way that seems authentic and not trying too hard. As I continue down this path this aspect is becoming as much a part of my brand and how people recognize me as my music is.

1. We gained the most from the social media coaching, how important it is and how to do it better and more effectively than what we were doing before. Using the methods taught and demonstrated, we were very fortunate to increase the overall following on Instagram and FB from c6k followers to 83.5k 2. If you are giving this serious consideration then your decision is really made already and you know you should go for it. Having the twice a wk calls is a great support network on top of what Harriet and the other coaches offer, even just to share experiences is invaluable too. 3. Finding out how important building your mailing list is and how to actually go about doing that successfully 4. Always be authentic, don't over think stuff and don't devote your entire life to creating content 5. No clear strategy or clue really on making a proper plan. Now much more organised and knowledgeable on working out what works, what doesn't work and how to be much more focussed on working on all of that.

I was on the fence about joining Secret Sessions, mainly because of my staunch belief that talent should triumph above all and marketing shouldn’t matter. However, the older I’ve got and more peers I’ve seen break through, the more I’ve realised that talent is nothing without the skills to communicate it. I wasn’t someone who had those skills and just assumed they couldn’t be taught. Harriet and her team proved me wrong. The course helped me pin point my audience as well as spot my own bad habits and behaviours that were standing in the way of me connecting with that audience. The course also helped me see the audience I already had, and gave me the confidence to engage with them in a way I hadn’t before. My favourite thing about Secret Sessions is the work I have to do now it’s over. I was worried the learning and implementation would be a ‘do here and now exercise’ and would be over as soon as I started. The reality is that it’s a ‘here’s how to do it - now keep it up’ exercise and the takeaways and methodologies taught are timeless. The core of what I was taught were social and business skills, catered and respectful of my personality type, which should serve me for the rest of my career. I’m really pleased with this. I feel like I now have a community driven strategy, and one that will stand the test of time, technologies and trends.

The best parts for me of SS is the sense of community with other artists and coaches in the course. A genuine feeling of support and not feeling like you’re alone in the trials and tribulations of the modern music world. I’ve met some amazing people I hope to stay connected with for years to come. I think if you’re feeling on the fence, don’t! I had followed SS for years before joining. But it came to the forefront at the right time for me when I was ready to commit myself to the learning and I couldn’t be happier with making that decision when I did. There is part of me that wishes I’d done it sooner. But I believe the timing was right for my journey. I think one of the most surprising parts was realising afterwards actually how straight forward some of the learnings are. Things that now seem ‘obvious’ that just weren’t on my radar before. It’s having it there all in one place, structured for you. It takes away that extra element of having to think about things outside of creating, that are crucial but you may not necessarily have seen them as crucial before. One of my biggest lessons from SS is that I am totally capable. It’s allowed me to push through boundaries I put on myself and it’s given me the tools I needed to really give my music the best chance going forwards. Before SS I was honestly lost, frustrated and unsure of the direction I was taking. I am now equipped with not only tools and structure but a better and clearer mindset on what it is I need to do. The absolute best investment I have made for myself so far in my career.

The best part of the program is that you become part of the Secret Sessions community and get to know other wonderful artists. Being surrounded by people who share a love for music and who follow their inner voice of wanting to make music “for real” felt empowering and inspiring at the same time. That’s why I especially enjoyed the weekly group calls and 1:1-sessions. The atmosphere was always very appreciative and supportive. I loved that the program kind of picks you up wherever you are in your career – Harriet, Joe and Marie did their best to help however they could. During Secret Sessions I filled an entire notebook with notes. I learned so much about myself – not only about who I am as a musician and why I make music, but also who I am as a human being. Creating my vision compass, writing my Artist Backstory, or defining my brand was a deep process that allowed me to make connections within myself, like pieces of a puzzle falling into the right place. I guess the most valuable progress I’ve made thanks to Secret Sessions is that I feel much more confident in being (and calling myself) a musician, which was something I struggled with for many years. I know my brand, my audience and my goals and I’m excited for what the future brings. I am SO happy (and proud!) that I took this step of joining Secret Sessions and managed to make space within my busy daily life to spend the hours on my own growth. I don’t regret anything at all.

I absolutely loved being a part of the Secret Sessions mentorship. I found Harriet through Twitter and after learning more about what she had to offer I knew it was going to be the thing that would help me take my independent artist journey to the next level. The part of the course I enjoyed the most was the twice weekly calls with the assistant mentors and the monthly workshops with Harriet. Having these spaces to be together in 'real time', be seen and understood by fellow musicians and share your own lessons and challenges were invaluable. I found these sessions really inspiring and galvanising. One of the most valuable aspects of the course was the weekly breakdown of the content into digestible and actionable steps that gradually lead you down the path in a way that doesn't feel overwhelming. I'm someone who really appreciates having structure and accountability and turns out this was exactly what I needed to get things really going. My first goal was really to start to grow my Instagram and in 3 months I went from 1,650 followers to over 6,000! 5 months after the course began, I now have a thriving Instagram community of almost 10,000 followers and around 3,000 organic weekly streams of my music from people who are genuine engaged fans. I finally feel like I am starting to build a fanbase for my music, am able to get excited that my new releases are eagerly anticipated by wonderful souls - and start to put in place the structures for generating actual income. If you are on the fence about joining, I would invite you to dig deep into why it is you are holding back from making the time and financial investment in yourself. The course truly offers you everything you need to set up the business around your artistry so that it can become a vehicle to support you. For me, I had to ask myself "if you really believe in yourself and what you have to offer the world, why would you not put your money where your mouth is?"

As a self-professed social media phobe when it comes to self-promotion, Secret sessions changed my outlook altogether for digital marketing. Before the course I didn’t have a game plan for connecting with a fan base. I hated being on social, I felt uncomfortable posting content as it didn’t feel authentic and would cringe every time I needed to post. But the course helped me: - Understand what's needed to connect with people - Shape my brand - Develop a content strategy. - come up with a plan for releasing music. - Gain confidence in showing up consistently online. - Find a community of like-minded artists and allies. - understand more about how the algorithm works - connect with people online - start to grow a fan base The best part was meeting the coaches and other artist for a weekly call and sharing journey together and keeping accountable with progression. Thank you, Secret sessions team!!

Harriet is such an amazing mentor. She has so much wisdom to give but also really puts her heart into what she does. I am a more organised, well paid full time musician thanks to her teachings, I could recommend the academy enough!

The Secret Sessions Academy was an amazing experience and I feel privileged to have been able to work with Harriet so closely. The things I’ve learnt in this course and core concepts are some that I will take forward with me for the rest of my career. I’d recommend this course to anyone who is in the position to do so.

Taking part in the Secret Sessions Academy has been a transformative experience for me- It has helped me shift my mindset around running a business as a creator. Thanks to Harriet's excellent work, I was able to connect to my deepest reasons for making music. I've built solid foundations for my brand and understood my core values. From that point, sharing my work became much easier and natural for me. I also received many helpful tools to continue the journey and feel well equipped to develop my business as an artist. One of the best parts was meeting so many talented people inside at different stages of their career- spending time with them has been a fantastic source of motivation. I would recommend the course to anyone who is seeking to connect to their tribe, without over relying on numbers, algorithms or any gatekeepers still left out there!

To be a part of Artist Academy has been such an eye opener for me. It’s not only about learning how to grow your insta account or use trello etc, even tho I loved that part as well. But I’ve also learnt to valid myself much more as an artist. I’ve gained confident that what I bring to the table is valuable.

Working with Harriet and doing the Academy came at just the right time for me as I was really lost with my music career. I now feel like I have a much better idea of what I need to do to make a career out of being an Artist and have the confidence that I am good enough. I am much more aware of my strengths, what I need to work on and what my brand is. Harriet is a great coach and a great person and I couldn’t recommend working with her enough. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it’s been very impactful and I feel really lucky to have done this!

Working with Harriet and the Secret Session team was the boost I needed when I was breaking new ground in my music career. Harriet helped me to understand what my strengths were and what was making me stand out as an artist. I gained a sharper skill set with the likes of communication with my fanbase, investors and elevating the business side of my music project. By the end of the course I had a lot of clarity in how to activate my audience and communicate my narrative as an artist.

I've worked with several coaches on different areas of my business over the past 12-18 months, but the lessons and work I got from Harriet was kind of the thing that finally put the icing on the cake! Thinking about it now, her advice around "the boring stuff works" is really the stuff I have been avoiding because it wasn't as clear as other things I was doing to build and grow. But by adding in these other pieces from Harriet, I feel like I can really apply a "rinse and repeat" process to ensure more growth going into the new year. Thank you!

But the course helped me: - Understand what's needed to connect with people - Shape my brand - Develop a content strategy. - come up with a plan for releasing music. - Gain confidence in showing up consistently online. - Find a community of like-minded artists and allies. - understand more about how the algorithm works - connect with people online - start to grow a fan base The best part was meeting the coaches and other artist for a weekly call and sharing journey together and keeping accountable with progression. Thank you, Secret sessions team!!

Harriet is such an amazing mentor. She has so much wisdom to give but also really puts her heart into what she does. I am a more organised, well paid full time musician thanks to her teachings, I could recommend the academy enough!

The Secret Sessions Academy was an amazing experience and I feel privileged to have been able to work with Harriet so closely. The things I’ve learnt in this course and core concepts are some that I will take forward with me for the rest of my career. I’d recommend this course to anyone who is in the position to do so.

Taking part in the Secret Sessions Academy has been a transformative experience for me- It has helped me shift my mindset around running a business as a creator. Thanks to Harriet's excellent work, I was able to connect to my deepest reasons for making music. I've built solid foundations for my brand and understood my core values. From that point, sharing my work became much easier and natural for me. I also received many helpful tools to continue the journey and feel well equipped to develop my business as an artist. One of the best parts was meeting so many talented people inside at different stages of their career- spending time with them has been a fantastic source of motivation. I would recommend the course to anyone who is seeking to connect to their tribe, without over relying on numbers, algorithms or any gatekeepers still left out there!

To be a part of Artist Academy has been such an eye opener for me. It’s not only about learning how to grow your insta account or use trello etc, even tho I loved that part as well. But I’ve also learnt to valid myself much more as an artist. I’ve gained confident that what I bring to the table is valuable.

Working with Harriet and doing the Academy came at just the right time for me as I was really lost with my music career. I now feel like I have a much better idea of what I need to do to make a career out of being an Artist and have the confidence that I am good enough. I am much more aware of my strengths, what I need to work on and what my brand is. Harriet is a great coach and a great person and I couldn’t recommend working with her enough. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it’s been very impactful and I feel really lucky to have done this!
