Got too many ideas? Spinning too many plates? Unsure what to focus on next?
Great! Let's turn them into something tangible.
Bring me the mess. I'll do the rest.
Working and being supported by Kerri over the last year, has been a revelation. Kerri helped me make an EPK which looks amazing and very professional. I am now confident to charge higher fees and I am so proud to send it out. The feed-back from my fellow singers has been amazing. Going forward: I have the tools to respond to enquiries with speed and professionalism. This gives prospective clients an assurance that I am a class act, worthy of my high fees.
I’m forever grateful for your support and guidance! I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface of the mastermind’s vault too, there is still so much more content to do - I’ve done it with a baby on my hip, we’ve closed the calendar for this year and already have 20 bookings secured for 2025! I think you’ve brought out the real me, the stubborness in me! I KNOW I can achieve what I have set out to do, I feel totally empowered! I feel like I am being a sponge, soaking in the information and using it. You are heaven sent, thank you so much!
Working with Kerri has been an absolute game changer for me. Kerri’s support and expertise have been invaluable. She helped me create my first professional promo document and I now feel confident putting together my own for all my different acts. Having everything about my act in one concise, beautifully organised document that’s easy to update has taken away so much of the stress. What used to feel daunting now feels streamlined and actually enjoyable. One of my biggest breakthroughs has been gigging solo with backing tracks. I had practised with them for years but never imagined I would actually perform on my own. Now I really enjoy it and it’s opened up a whole new world of opportunities for me. My confidence and professionalism have grown massively. I used to feel overwhelmed by the business side of getting gigs and worried about approaching clients. Through Kerri’s course I’ve learned that selling is really about sharing my skills and helping people create the event they want. That mindset shift has changed everything. Before joining I felt unsure, anxious and a bit lost with how to present myself. Now I feel confident, capable and proud of what I offer. I no longer take things personally and I feel like a professional musician who understands her value. Working with Kerri has given me clarity, confidence and the tools to grow in a way that feels aligned with who I am. I’m so grateful for the transformation this has sparked in my career.

Author, Consultant, Founder and Artist.
For 27 years, I’ve worked across entertainment, events and education, onstage, backstage and in the boardroom. From performing at The Savoy, Alexandra Palace and Glastonbury Festival to curating live experiences for organisations including The National Trust and Bollinger Champagne, I understand both the creative heartbeat and the commercial engine behind successful projects.

My insights and commentary on the music industry have featured in outlets including The Times and OK Magazine, alongside national coverage on BBC and ITV.
