DHÆMA
/ˈdeɪˌmɑ/ noun a way or path guided by one’s inner creative gods, muses or dæmons
HONOUR THY MUSE
What would it mean to honour your muse?
Is there music inside you that’s been waiting patiently for you to finally bring it to life?
If you’ve felt the pull to write, record or perform, but have been held back by resistance, self-doubt, procrastination, lack of knowledge or experience in certain areas, or just the overwhelm of trying to do it all alone… well
You’re not alone.
DHÆMA (prounouned ‘day-ma’) is my new artist development and music mentoring service. The word Dhæma means walking a path guided by your own inner creative voices (what I refer to as Dæmons).
After many years of walking my own musical path as MC Xander, I’m now sharing everything I’ve learned by working 1:1 with artists like you.
Whether you’re just starting out, beginning to build momentum, or you’re already an experienced artist looking to evolve, re-ignite your creativity, or take your vision to the next level, this work is about unlocking your next exciting chapter.
Together, we’ll clarify your unique artistic path and help you move forward with confidence, structure, and joy toward the music that you were destined to make.
THE PATHS
ARTISTIC MINDSET
Unlock the power of a focused and resilient mind. We’ll work through resistance, doubt, procrastination, self-sabotage, and the inner critic – so you can show up for your art consistently and whole-heartedly.
PRIORITIES & FOCUS
Get clear on what matters most, so we can create a structure for your creative time best-suited to move you closer to your goals.
MUSIC THEORY FOR CREATORS
Build the fluency to express yourself with deep artistry. Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to deepen your skill, we’ll demystify music theory and turn it into a source of creative freedom.
WRITING PROCESS
Design your own reliable, repeatable music writing flow. From the first sketch to the final track, we’ll develop a sustainable daily/weekly creative routine that helps you actually finish remarkable music.
PRODUCTION & MIXING
Shape your ideas into release-ready tracks. We’ll walk through arrangement, sound design, mixing, and mastering, so your music not only sounds great, but stirs souls!
MARKETING STRATEGY
Make your music easy to find and hard to ignore. We’ll explore smart, authentic ways to share your work and grow your audience without burning out or selling your soul.
LIVE PERFORMANCE
Take your show to the next level whether on stage or online. Explore tools, setups, and creative strategies for compelling live sets, loop-based performances, and streaming shows.
VOCALS
Strengthen your voice both physically and artistically. Develop pitch, tone, rhythm, delivery, harmony and vocal presence, whether you’re a singer, rapper, beatboxer, or spoken word artist.
LYRICS
Write words that resonate. Learn how to craft lyrics with depth, imagery, impact, and emotion so your songs stay with people long after they end.
You don’t need to master everything.
We’ll start with an honest conversation about your goals, experience, and blocks – then choose the most meaningful next step for your journey.
DHÆMA PRICING
I'm doing my best to keep DHÆMA accessible (don’t worry I know how it can be for artists).
Right now I’m charging a standard UK hourly rate for music teaching.
Here’s how it works:
We’ll start with a free 30min chat. Then if we decide to work together, we’ll organise four sessions over the next month which cost £35 per session, where we’ll crack the goals we set. At the end of the month, we’ll review what worked, what didn’t and what will be the goal of the following next month, if we decide to continue working together.
Use the form below to schedule a free call, and we’ll work out what would best support you right now.
Let’s Talk About Your Music
Let’s have a no-pressure, open, honest 30-minute call where we’ll explore what matters most to you as an artist, where you’re heading, and how I might be able to support that journey.
