Download My Free Guides and Accelerate Your Music Career

Most talented musicians don’t fail because of lack of talent.


They fail because of hidden traps - confusion, comfort, insecurity, ego and/or impatience.


Inside these free PDF's, you’ll discover:


  • 🎯 Why treating music like a hobby makes everyone else treat it like one too (and how to flip that).
  • ⚡ How perfectionism keeps you stuck forever and the fast-track to finishing songs that actually grow you.
  • 📈 Why releasing the wrong way can bury your music forever (and what to do instead).
  • 🤝 How to build an audience that wants to support you (without feeling “salesy”).
  • 🔑 The simple fan journey that turns strangers into loyal supporters.


Who is this for?


These guides are for beginner, intermediate and advanced musicians who want:


  • More listeners who actually care.
  • Clearer direction in their career.
  • To stop wasting years repeating the same mistakes.


Why listen to me?


I’m a professional songwriter with over 20M streams, a Billboard #1 Record and a long history of record deals, publishing deals and live experience most only fantasise about.

I’ve seen what works and what doesn’t.

These guides are shortcuts that could have saved me 10 hard years of embarrassing struggles and around £30,000 spent on the wrong things if I’d had access to it when I first started out.

Meet The Music Mentor

Background

Paul McBride is a professional songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and artist with over 30M streams, a Billboard #1 Record and a history of major deals with the same labels as The Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish, and Eminem.   


He's toured many countries around the world, playing dive-bars to arenas, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, SXSW, Alexandra Palace and the Royal Albert Hall and worked with hundreds of artists including The Kooks, Brandon Flowers, Stereophonics, Basement Jaxx and Michael Kiwanuka.  


"My journey has been a mix of huge wins and painful failures.   


I know what it’s like to chase the wrong opportunities, waste years of life and learn the hard way.  


But I also know what it's like to accept help, knuckle down and achieve the goals many just dream about.


That’s why I mentor.  


For the past 5 years, I’ve been helping artists cut through the noise, build real fanbases and find clarity in an industry full of confusion.


I've also grown over 60K followers on TikTok in the last year as "The Scouseness" and maintained over 70K followers on IG over the past 9 years.


Whether you need feedback on your songs, social media strategy or a step-by-step plan to grow your career, I’ll guide you through it all with honesty, accountability and a system that works."
