Connect with vetted music industry experts

The Team Around You is a platform that connects artists with vetted industry experts for one-on-one consultancy sessions. You can browse experts based on their skills, book a session, and pay by the hour.

All experts on the platform are vetted by The Team Around You. They are either professionals we have worked with directly or have been recommended by close colleagues we trust. This ensures there is always only one degree of separation between us and the experts we recommend.

Our experts cover all areas of the music industry in depth, from marketing to touring, legal, and distribution. We are continuously expanding our expert base to keep up with new industry developments.

For some experts, testimonials and reviews are available, and we are continuing to add these as they come in.

You can book as far in advance as you like, depending on the expert’s availability.

We recommend identifying your top priorities in advance. If you have clear challenges, send them to the expert ahead of time. If you're unsure about your priorities, come prepared with an understanding of where you are and where you’d like to go.

Yes, as long as you contact the expert at least two days before the session, you won’t be charged. Once the session is canceled, you’ll have the opportunity to reschedule.
