Are you next?
Your music is never going to leave you alone.
- Maybe you’re lucky enough to do this full-time, but it’s never quite right. Your performances are more function than feeling.
- Maybe you can’t even enjoy performing because you’re constantly stressing about streaming vs. views vs. social media followers vs. all the things all the “experts” say you need to succeed in 2023.
- Maybe you dust it off on the weekends, your escape from the monotony of your “real job.”
- Maybe you packed it away long ago, terrified of another failed attempt.
How do I know?!
At 38 — and the height of my career as a vocal coach — I took one of the biggest risks of my career, closing the doors to my studio to follow my music dream.
After years of feeling burned by the industry and feeling more like a product than a person, I convinced myself that being a vocal coach would give me the same fulfillment as sharing my art with the world.
But my music would not leave me alone.
It didn’t stop when I hit six figures.
It didn’t stop as I refined countless talented voices.
It didn’t stop when I used my hard-earned industry knowledge to advise and support other artists all the way to record deals and dream careers.
No amount of outward success could quiet the music inside me.
After decades in the business, I finally forged my path, signed a record deal, and produced the music I was made to share with the world.

“When the pandemic hit and derailed all of my plans, I was feeling lost and defeated. My management deal was in jeopardy and I was ready to abandon my dream of pursuing music altogether. But then, in the midst of my despair, I stumbled upon Cari Cole, and everything changed.
Cari gave me the tools I needed to hone my skills and the support to keep going. Slowly but surely, I began to grow as an artist once again.
And then, something truly magical happened.
Now, my latest single is streaming like crazy, and I've had the opportunity to perform at showcases abroad. In fact, my album hit number one on iTunes' rock genre in Finland! We even got a nod from Rolling Stone magazine! All of this is thanks to the kind, firm, empowering, and just plain perfect mentorship of Cari Cole. Her expertise and encouragement have been invaluable to me, and I am forever grateful for our collaboration.”

"Working with Cari is the single most influential choice I have made on my path to becoming a professional recording artist. Since I was very young I have had dreams of becoming a 'pop star'- envisioning myself on a big stage, with bright lights, singing my guts out. But illustrious fantasies are nothing without the right guidance. Luckily for me, I found Cari Cole.
Cari seems to have an innate sensitivity toward people's true selves. I think that is why she is such a great co-writer. When I first started bringing Cari lyrics, I was thrilled to find out just how intuitive and talented she is as a musician and songwriter.
Cari saw and believed in my potential…even more than I did. She has helped me put together my band, and been there to guide me while I find my sound and style as an artist.
She has awesome connections, and has arranged the 3 shows I have had so far. With her counsel, I showcased for labels, formed relationships with music managers and became a signed artist.
I know if it weren't for Cari, I would still just be dreaming of what could be. When I started working with her I expected to improve vocally- but I got so much more than I bargained for. She is a friend, and a mentor, and her steadfast commitment has changed my course as an artist for the better."
For every student I’ve coached, and every time I’ve heard,
“I just wish I would have found you sooner!”
I know thousands more gave up right before their big breakthrough. And it most likely had nothing to do with talent.
the truth is
“Making it” in the industry is rarely about luck, connections, or social media stats. You need a customized strategy tailored to your individuality and unique vision.
No label, manager, or investor is coming to your rescue. They couldn’t even if they wanted to. You own your talent. You have the power.
Investing in things unrelated to the music you want to make — online ads, generic marketing courses, licensing programs — is costing you money, stealing your time, and stripping your passion.
I've mentored thousands of artists, delivered special guest lectures at NYU, Columbia, The DIY Musician Conference, CMJ, and collaborated with talent at every stage in the creative process.
Through my decades of experience, I've unlocked the six secret keys to success and lived them. As a result, I know firsthand the power of connecting with your vision and creating the lasting legacy of your dreams.
From earning a spot on the Grammy ballot to being applauded by audiences at world-class venues like Carnegie Hall, I've experienced the highs and lows of the music industry. But what differentiates me as a mentor is that after releasing the music inside of me, I worked to revolutionize the industry and help other artists do the same.
As the CEO and founder of a female-owned and operated music label, and an artist development expert, I quickly identify the small tweaks artists need to finally break through (without burning out!). My approach has led my artists to major award show honors, record deals, headlining spots at massive festivals, all while maintaining complete control of their image, music, and passion.
So trust me when I say…
You are so close.
I’ve used my experience, knowledge, and insight to create a collaborative membership program for artists ready for that final transformation. Walk away from generic, one-size-fits-all methods and isolation, and finally, find the momentum and motivation to craft the career of your dreams.

From no music out, to finding her sound + direction to placing in the Top 3 of the UK charts between The Weeknd and a Whitney Houston remix
“My experience with songwriting was rooted in self-taught expressions of rhyming and writing songs I felt others may want to hear.
[Working with Cari] has given me a process to follow, a message to write about, and a brand to continue to develop. It was amazing to have the opportunity to experience sessions with established songwriters and learn from them in a nurturing environment.
This was a pivotal experience in my musical career and is the gift to myself that will keep on giving. I appreciate and look forward to continuing my work with Cari and her team!”

The Sounding Board
Bimonthly live listening sessions with personalized feedback + guidance
Meet with Cari and your global artist community inside The Sounding Board to listen and receive feedback on your songs and music. These powerful and magical 2-hour sessions are an opportunity to get Cari’s A&R expert ears on your work in a supportive and professional environment. Her feedback includes direction on A&R, songwriting, vocals + production.
Call it the golden touch — songs Cari has co-written, directed, or adjusted have gone on to win multiple awards and scored major licensing deals.
Cari’s high-level guidance and insights into your songs and artist persona, and brand will guide you toward your authentic voice and the true artistic principles you need to transform your career.
Transformation Tool 3:
Professional Playbook
Bimonthly speaker events and expert panels featuring influential industry leaders and trendsetters.
Experience bi-monthly 1-hour expert panels with industry leaders and trendsetters committed to helping you achieve your creative goals. Whether you're interested in music publishing, vocal arranging, production, composition, songwriting, branding, building career opportunities, or any other aspect of the creative process or industry insights and strategy, you'll find expert guidance and insights that can help you grow and thrive.
As an up-and-coming artist, it can be challenging to navigate the complex and competitive landscape of the creative industry. One of the key benefits of ASM is its unparalleled access to Cari's extensive network of experts. Unlike many other memberships or resources, which may only offer limited access to a single mentor or a handful of industry insiders, ASM gives you the opportunity to learn from a diverse range of experts spanning the entire creative process.
Even if you signed to a major label or management company, it’s unlikely that you would receive the same level of diversity in guidance and support that ASM provides. “Traditional” companies in the industry often focus primarily on promoting their established artists and generating revenue rather than investing in developing new talent.
Previous Guest Speakers:
Guest speakers are carefully selected from Cari’s industry relationships over 4 decades in the music business. As a Member of Women in Music (WIM), Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP), and the Music Managers Forum (MMF), Cari provides an opportunity to connect with experts at a high level of the industry.
*Each event is curated for ASM members only + comes with a Live Q&A.

Cari's ability to coax out what's deep inside of you is truly life-changing. Don't be on the fence - you won't regret it!
I have been working with Cari and her team on my next album, and I'm blown away by how much I have been able to up my game. I have found a safe place to really let go with my writing, and the result is that I'm writing the most honest work and the best songs that I have written in my career to date.
The ability Cari has to gently coax what's deep inside of you out, is truly life-changing. I never would have imagined that I'd be writing songs at the level that I am so quickly.
The expertise, knowledge & honesty that everyone on Cari's team brings to the table whether it be with vocal arranging, songwriting, A&R, or artistic direction has been priceless.
I also have been working with Cari on my voice. I have literally gone from having issues where I could barely speak, to building my voice where the first show I played after only four months of working with Cari, I had fans who have seen me perform lots of times approaching me to tell me how they can't believe the changes in my voice, and that it's the best they have EVER heard me sing.
Then they'd ask, "...what have you been doing?!?"
All I could answer was simply, "Training with Cari Cole!"
Pretty cool as I had only been working with Cari on my voice for just about five months at that point! It's truly been a career-changing move for me to work with Cari & her team at CCVM. Cari, I can't thank you enough!! If you are on the fence, don't be. You won't regret it. Cari & her team are AMAZING!

What’s the cost of staying stuck?
I understand how scary investing in another career-related expense can be. You may feel like you've exhausted all your options and might even start questioning your talent and abilities. Your music and your dreams are sacred to you, and it's natural to feel apprehensive about taking yet another leap.
The real risk is not investing in yourself and your artistic development. Without the right guidance and support, you risk staying stagnant, never reaching your full potential, and watching others pass you by.
You are not the problem, and your talent is not in question.
As someone who has been in the industry for 38 years, I can confidently say that every artist has room for growth and improvement.
It's not a reflection of your worth or potential but rather an opportunity to elevate your craft and achieve the success you deserve.
Inside the Artist Sanctuary Membership, you will find the tools and resources to make those one or two tweaks that can transform your career.
And with the support of an amazing artistic community, you'll have the accountability and motivation to finally follow through.
From a lack of direction (with 3 singles out), to releasing the best album of her career & signing with management on Day 1.
“Cari and her team are thoughtful, caring, and have been pivotal in propelling me forward as a singer and artist.
Working with Cari is a beautiful balance of technique and strategy mixed with heart and soul.
She has methodologies for tapping into your unique qualities and transforming them into your artist’s message and I’ve found working with her to be truly healing.
Everything she has helped me with has been top notch quality and a success!
Whether it is singing technique, vocal production, songwriting with her pro team of writers, A&R, or music business strategies, you are in the best of hands. Cannot recommend her enough!”

From American Idol - to lost - to putting out the album of her career and fulfilling a lifelong dream.
“I've been working closely with Cari over the last year and with her vast experience and knowledge of the industry my time with her has been beyond transformative.
I came to her with years of experience as a performer and vocalist, I'd been on American Idol, but I was severely lacking in my skills as a songwriter and knowledge of the industry. I was anxious to start co-writing but for the first few months, Cari was insistent on pulling the songwriter out of me and tapping into my authentic self.
Needless to say, it has been the most eye-opening experience of my career.
Not only has she connected me with top-notch writers and producers, but she taught me how to tap into myself in ways I never thought possible. My writing is now reflecting that and I am creating some of the most honest music of my career.
And as a result, I signed an exclusive licensing deal with a company Cari introduced me to that licenses for all of the big series on HBO, Showtime, Netflix etc.
I couldn't ask for a better coach and mentor to help guide me along the way. I feel like the proper foundation has been laid with Cari's guidance and direction."
From losing direction & hope, to reigniting her passion for music & catching the attention of old industry insiders.
“I was really lost in my career – I just couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
I feel like when we work alone, and you just see so much online, you can get stuck in that. [Cari’s program] took the confusion out and redirected it back to my music and what my real soul’s purpose and journey are. It asked what my truth was – and then supported the bringing out of that.
Cari has been a critical aide and guide and without which none of this dream of mine would be coming together as developed or as beautiful as it is now. For the first time in a long time, I am excited about my music again. It’s incredible!"

Cari's programs just completely opened my eyes to the world of professional, meaningful songwriting. I learned how to write songs like a pro, put my lyrics and melody in the right place and working with some of the top songwriters in the country. I've always been a bit apprehensive about co-writing, but going through the A&R process with Cari was a dream come true. Now that I know how the pros do it, Being encouraged to speak my truth in my songs as a creative is absolutely liberating, and so excited to record the single from this course and apply the songwriting tools that I've learned to my everyday practice. Cari’s programs also have an incredible community of national and international artists that support each other in their careers which is a powerful thing in a somewhat isolated pursuit. I can’t thank Cari enough. You would be really wise to check out her programs, they all come highly recommended."

"I've been in the music industry since I was 6 years old. I started working in the industry throughout my youth and adolescence right into adulthood in Miami where I had a lot of opportunities and critical acclaim. And I am very lucky for the trajectories I've had. However I've worked with all my life with a lot of different managers, agents, publicist and labels, but I've never worked with someone who cared about what I had to say as an artist. I believe what Cari is doing is not just an exercise or aide or membership - it is a movement. And I believe this is the movement that we deserve. I am extremely happy and proud of the work I am doing now. And I have her to thank for that. She is an amazing human being and I wish that everyone is lucky enough to discover her and work with her."
RAINSFORD
"Working with Cari is the single most influential choice I have made on my path to becoming a professional recording artist. Since I was very young I have had dreams of becoming a 'pop star'- envisioning myself on a big stage, with bright lights, singing my guts out. But illustrious fantasies are nothing without the right guidance. Luckily for me, I found Cari Cole. Cari seems to have an innate sensitivity towards people's true selves. Cari has helped me get to the bottom of my messages and is able to see the parts of my songs that need some work. Cari saw and believed in my potential, I think, even more than I did. She has been there to guide me while I find my sound and style as an artist. She has awesome connections, and with her council I showcased for labels, formed relationships with music managers and became a signed artist. I know if it weren't for Cari, I would still just be dreaming of what could be. When I started working with her I expected to improve- but I got so much more than I bargained for. She is a friend, and a mentor, and her steadfast commitment has changed my course as an artist for the better."
STEVE RYAN
"Words can't begin to describe how incredibly helpful Cari Cole was to my overall music career. Specifically, her and her team have helped me with so many things, its hard to know where to begin to describe it. Think about the best you want to be and then shatter that and double it—that's the effect and impact. There are masterminds helping you to discover your brand or even taking your brand to a different level. What I love the most is, Cari and her team are very transparent. There is no hidden agendas. What you see is what you get and THEN SOME!! I'm so grateful and thankful for her and her team. I want other people to know just how great of a company this is and if you are considering them helping you, go for it. I'm a living, breathing testimonial. They know what they are doing."

“Cari has been a constant source of wisdom and encouragement to me for the past few years while at the same time she is always pushing me to new heights. My vocals have drastically improved since I first started the Singer's Gift and I use these warmups daily when I'm on tour.. Cari has been a mentor to me in this business which is so difficult to navigate. I read every blog she writes and have done many programs including Step Up to the Spotlight and as a result of which we charted on the Billboard Charts. Being a "musicpreneur". as she calls it, can be a treacherous path for a soft-hearted artistic soul and it has been a God-send to have Cari around to walk alongside me through the journey. Thank you so much Cari Cole, for everything."
SIMRIT
"Working with Cari has not only propelled my career, it has changed my life in the most profound way. She has shared with me how to empower myself through my own music. She never stops giving. The passion, the love and the care that she shows for my success is rare and very powerful. I receive a transmission each time I read her blogs, emails, and take her very interactive courses: I've take 2 already, and I continue to keep up with her offerings. She sincerely has my best interest in mind. I can feel that. I trust her, and that is so helpful in this world...to know that someone's got my back like that. You can't put a price on someone or something that projects success from the depths of their heart and soul."
