"The mentor program targets a niche part of the music industry that I feel is far too often overlooked and undervalued. I truly believe that having these sessions with Footstomp could be the difference between realising your dreams and sleeping on them". SAM SYRAH
"Asho genuinely understands the challenges faced by indie-artists and is generous with his knowledge and experience. Loads of practical advice and totally great to deal with." - SARAH STOCKHOLM
“Although I haven’t been working with Asho for very long he’s been extremely helpful and a great mentor. From him I’ve learned a lot about myself as an artist and about the industry. “ - TAYIHA
“Asho really helped me solidify my plans moving into my next album cycle. He introduced me to the right people and opened my eyes to avenues that I hadn’t even considered prior to working with him.” - JOE MUNGOVAN
“It was such an honour to get mentoring from Asho because he possesses a wealth of wisdom and experience on how to take the next step forward in such a huge, ever changing industry. The mentoring has given me clarity on what to do next and shown me strengths in myself that I can utilise to further my fan base and gain more traction as an artist. I’m extremely grateful.” - KENT DUSTIN
“It’s been quite eye-opening to work with Asho and his crew. I appreciate that he’s helped me get more of a foot in the industry and a great guide! He’s helped me learn more about different aspects of the industry.” - ELLA HARTWIG
“Working with Asho was like tipping everything out of that kitchen draw you stick unused leads in and finding out that, with his guidance, half of them could streamline your entire house - and the other half were for devices you don’t own anymore and belonged in the bin. I’d recommend the mentoring purely for the opportunity to speak with someone who can help you understand that, while no effort is a waste of effort, doing the right thing in servicing your music is 10 times as beneficial as trying to do everything.” - RUSTY PICKUPS
"I have known Asho for over a decade and the impression remains the same - a legend of the scene and a great guy. I continue to value his judgment immensely to this day and through his honesty and intelligence, I was also pleased to discover a friend. Not just as a music mentor but as an individual, he remains one of my personal heroes. " - ALEX EDWARDS
“The only thing we regret about working with Asho is that we didn’t do it sooner! After a couple of years trying to learn all aspects of band management and promotion ourselves, it was great for us to speak with someone with such an in-depth knowledge of the industry. Along with his genuine interest in us and our music, we love that he is upfront about the areas we can improve on and would definitely recommend Footstomp to any band looking to take it to the next level!” - KINGDOM CALM
