Hi Everyone. Hope you are well. Just want to say huge thanks to Rob Mac Leod and to encourage anyone just starting up or joining this program.

 I've been using his strategies to grow my fb page for about 2 months now, and its gone from 500 to 4500 fans. The one song we started with went from 0 views to 177K now (in 10 weeks of ads). + many many more engagements in my organic posts than I was getting before.

I have just started working with Rob Mac Leod and I can say that his commitment to helping me find my target audience is brilliant! He has a world of knowledge in digital marketing, how to find your specific audience and get the results that you need to make a larger audience and more sales for both business and music. We will continue working together as Rob is exceeding my expectations with the difference he can help you make. I would highly recommend working with Rob if you are serious about building your career and reaching your music/business full potential. Thanks Rob!

All I can say is I wish I’d found Rob years ago!!!!! With Start Up Music Mentor’s support it’s the first time ever I’ve felt like I’m actually getting somewhere and going the right direction with my music career. It’s like having a producer/manager/marketing manager all in one. I’ve been in the music industry for twenty years and never found anyone doing what Rob does - absolutely couldn’t recommend him enough to any artists/ musicians trying to get their music out there on s tight budget. 


Thank you for all your help, Em xx

A bit about 

Robert MacLeod CEO and founder 

Founder of Startup music arts and business academy and our parent company Startup Music Mentor Limited.

I have over 30 years of expertise and experience in the fields of marketing, business development, training, music production and audio engineering.

I am also a songwriter and performer, and have enjoyed many successes during my career.

 I now help artists and businesses in the arts and also in various other sectors - I help educate them throughout the process of how to become truly independent in their creativity and business endeavours so that they can work self sufficiently at their craft or business.

I have worked with people all over the world and I have clients in the USA, UK, Europe, Canada and as far away as Australia.

I have worked with a vast array of clients as a trainer and one to one mentor including music artists, authors, music schools, music producers, recording studios, SME businesses, tech and consultancy based companies.

Over time I have enjoyed very impressive results.
