QUOTES FROM A FEW OF THE ARTISTS THAT HAVE JOINED US FOR THE MENTORING SERVICE
DOMINIC MILLER, BLUEBEARD MUSIC

“Working with Asho at Footstomp Music gave me HUGE leg up when starting my management business, Bluebeard Music. Without the help of Asho, I would never have been able to make contacts which have since benefited my artists and myself in ways that I never could have imagined. As well as these great contacts, Asho's considered and wise advice was huge help to me when dealing with tough decisions and negotiations. I would recommend ANYONE to do a mentorship with Asho if you want to expand your knowledge and contact base within this industry.”
SCOTT SPARK
"Writing songs, recording and playing for people is the fun part of an otherwise tricky business... and the reason I came to Footstomp is simply to help make that process easier. With Asho's advice, I feel as though my steps from here on are more informed. We're all bound to make mistakes, but Asho's helped me avoid the stupid and obvious ones. If you care about the music, I reckon you should care about it finding its audience - and that's what Asho does."

“Our time with Footstomp Music has saved us a lot of time and money. Asho's experience and contacts in the music industry has put us in the best career position for our band. Hooking us up with one of the best Producers/Mixers in Australia. Asho cuts through the crap and knows how to get the right direction for you as an artist. Our mentoring sessions were filled with so much rad information. We have totally appreciated his time, experience and knowledge we want to continue working with Asho and believe he's the man for the job. Time, money and shared experiences well spent, Footstomp Music mentoring sessions priceless.”
HOTEL MOTEL

“Asho provided excellent direction into the business planning for Hotel Motel. His extensive industry knowledge, proven track record, and mentor delivery was exceptional. I would highly recommend his services to assist new bands and up and coming bands to minimise error and maximise results. The less mistakes you make as a band the better your chances are of making a career in this business.”
GALAPOGOS
“Asho has been a blessing for our band. Under his guidance and as a result of his mentoring we have been put in a fortunate position of getting the right people on board to help us record and release our debut album. Asho’s knowledge of not only the business but of music in general allows him to put you on the right path as a band regardless of your genre. Each session has left our band on a high due to Asho’s positive and encouraging nature. He really knows how to get the best out of the artists he works with. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with someone who still has the excitement and passion for music. Beyond the business of art, Asho is still a fan of great music and has a brilliant vocabulary of artists / bands he admires. Asho and Footstomp music is by far the best friend any band can have. Do yourself a favour.”
BANG BANG BOSS KELLY

“Working with Asho was great for a few reasons but i guess to name a few talking to someone with real music experience, not just in the business, but as a true fan of real music which i guess is what we all are even if we do play it as well. Hearing that some of our choices we have already made are on the right track is a boost of confidence coming from someone with more knowledge that ourselves or our mates and throwing new ideas in the pot like goals to make, people to meet, things to do and avoid mistakes we may have made before we made them. we were stuck in a bit of rut with what to do next and getting some good advice can go a long way and really solidify what our next step should be. Also at the end of it all we got a new mate who is approachable and helpful with any questions.”
