How to Become the Kind of Artist Labels Want to Sign in 2026
(Even If You Stay Independent Without Wasting Years Guessing, Relying on Connections, or Hoping to Get “Discovered”)

A free, step-by-step training for singers & songwriters who are tired of spinning their wheels and want a clear artist development roadmap the industry actually responds to.

⭐ “Before I found Marilee, I’d been chasing this for years and had no idea what I was doing… now I finally understand brand, strategy, and what to do next.”

⭐ “After eight years of trying and getting nowhere, Marilee’s knowledge of the industry and what it takes to write a hit song was a God send.”

⭐ “I studied musical theatre… and in TADA I learned my niche, what makes a strong hook, and what I’m supposed to be putting out on social media. I finally feel confident walking into the studio.”

PROBLEM AGITATION

If you’re a talented singer or songwriter but you still feel stuck…

It’s not because you’re not good enough.

It’s because you’re missing the Artist Development process the exact roadmap labels use to turn raw talent into industry-ready artists.

Instead, most artists are taught to:

Keep releasing music and “hope something hits”

Chase connections and validation

Post randomly with no strategy

Wait to be “discovered”

And years later…
they’re still guessing.

BIG SHIFT (OLD WAY VS NEW WAY)

The Old Way

  • Talent + luck

  • Random releases

  • Waiting on validation

  • Hoping connections save you

The New Way

  • A clear Artist Development blueprint

  • Intentional sound + identity

  • Strategic releases that build momentum

  • A system that works with or without a label

That’s what this training is about.

WHAT THEY’LL LEARN

In this free training, you’ll discover:

How to become an industry-ready artist by following a simple Artist Development roadmap
without wasting years trying to get discovered off talent, connections, or random releases.

Perfect if you’ve ever thought:

“I just need better connections.”
“If I keep releasing, something will hit.”

Sound + Identity That Makes You Stand Out

How to build a sound and artist identity that makes you instantly recognizable
even if you feel all over the place, don’t know your genre yet, or copying other artists never felt right.

Perfect if you’ve ever thought:
“I don’t know what I am.”
“I’m too inconsistent.”
“I’m not unique enough.”

“Content won’t work because I don’t have fans yet.”

AUTHORITY / CREDIBILITY

Hi, I’m Marilee Tangen.

I’ve been a vocal coach and artist development mentor for nearly two decades, working with singers at every level from beginners to artists who’ve been trying for years.

I created this training because I lived the “winging it” route…
and I’ve watched insanely talented artists derail their careers not because they weren’t good enough, but because they never had the roadmap.

This isn’t theory.
It’s the same process successful artists follow signed and independent.

BONUS INCENTIVE

Bonus for Attending

When you watch the full training, you’ll also receive my pre-recorded daily vocal warmups because your voice is an instrument, and daily warmups are nonnegotiable.
