I really appreciate Beat Academy and the community. The instruction is excellent and having a community to bounce thoughts and questions off of is really great. Additionally the challenges constantly give me something to strive for. Really happy to be part of this community.

I love Beat Academy! The community is constantly growing and learning how to serve each other better. There are always new breakdowns, challenges, and the membership is genuinely engaged in trying to support each other. The community is well moderated and sets values of respect, encouragement, trust, and growth. 10/10 community and content.

They cultivate a great community of eager, kind artists who are hungry to make themselves better. It doesn't break the bank. And you get some hands on time with a legend.

elevate program is a good opportunity to revisit the basics and get valuable feedback on your beats while staying accountable for several months and learning something new every week! thanks ivan and the team!

I'm an Elevate alumni who has just finished the course. I joined all the classes through the recorded streams. Here is what you will learn from the course - mixing, mastering, vocal production, sound selection, being true to your own artist DNA, and sync placements. Most of the topics they talk about are not very in depth, except for mastering as one of the guest speakers would sometimes get a little technical (in a good way!), but other than that the topics were quite surface. Who is it made for - while everyone can get something out of the course, the ones who will benefit most would definitely be beginners and beginner intermediates. What I enjoyed most - to be fair, I did not submit any songs during Elevate as I was preoccupied with other music stuff / life stuff. But having watched every recording, I liked that Ivan encouraged every classmate to keep making progress on a song every week. I also liked how there were office hours so that you will listen to feedback from Ivan not just on your song, but your classmates' songs as well. Most of my classmates' songs are quite good as well, with some of their levels ranging from intermediate to advanced. I also very much enjoyed the guests that Ivan invited to the course, the guests tend to be specialised and are experts in what they do, whether it was mixing, mastering, or vocal production. Ivan himself is very positive and friendly and professional, everyone will like him as a person and as a mentor.

The whole Elevate Music Program is Fantastic. I love the fact that there are Weekly Tasks / Live Calls / Catch Ups / Feedback Sessions. Even though each student is at a different level / stage of their Music Production skill-set, journey - the whole program is very beneficial and well put together. I believe that Each student has a unique need - and teacher ill Factor is understanding and really helpful and is accommodating. He genuinely cares about how to take your music to the next step moving forward. His teaching style is awesome and is one of a kind. The professional guest speakers that took part and provided advice / feedback were great too. I Highly Recommend! Trust me on this. Leeyah :-).

If you are in need of learning how to produce your own music, this is among the best resources out there for a good value. The ELEVATE program especially was well worth the money.

This was honestly a life changing course. Even for someone like me with no prior experience other than having scraps of songs in my voice notes. I learned so much from songwriting to mastering and everything in between. The most fundamental form of wealth is the human mind. To be able to have access to and learn from a wealthy mindset such as ill Factor's is priceless. ill Factor is an excellent teacher, patient, always inspiring, highly knowledgable, and highly skilled in his craft. I learned so much from hearing people with great talent and seeing how people earlier in their journey grew. I feel like I'm Batman now, equipped with a utility belt, bat jet, bat mobile, and bat cave. ill Factor and everyone here with their wealthy mindsets was like swimming around Scrooge McDuck's money bin for three months. In other words I in turn became enriched by learning from all these wealthy minds. I learned things I wouldn't have been able to learn myself because I didn't have their insights, knowledge, or experience. I'm very excited indeed for my continued journey.
