Course Description
If you're looking for a step by step guide to learning how to make your own NFTs (as a musician, a DJ, or an artist) that's short and sweet - or you're just curious about learning what all the hype is about and have everything in one place from blockchain technology to minting a music EP
Then this is the only course you need.
I’ve put together the first NFT course designed for musicians and artists so that you can have a short and sweet step by step guide to minting an NFT, while saving you precious time, from learning about blockchain and crypto, setting up a wallet, exchanging Ether, minting your own NFT and making money from your art and brand directly without having to go through a company like Spotify. Your art, your price selection, your value.
Learn how to mint an NFT from a world renowned Producer/ Audio Engineer. I have generated millions of streams from my own personal homemade projects and will reveal some of my secret weapons in this course. I also have been credited (Clash, Vulture, Mixmag, XLR8R, Broadway World) with minting the very first ever solo artist album NFT 'Whale Shark', a weirdo synth pop LP which you can check out on OpenSea!
This new course was born out of a necessity to demonstrate the power of decentralized blockchain technology for the independent arts. That NFTs should be something everyone can learn and use and not just rich people or tech heads. There's a lot of hype out there with NFTs and crazy stories, but we're going to measure both the pros and cons in this course and focus not on the glamor, but how we can utilize this technology to create a better future landscape for our creative output as artists and gain more revenue through the process.
Join a live online school and community mentored by industry producers and engineers, with challenges and opportunities to get your NFT checked out by thousands of artists worldwide. Level up with a curriculum by an instructor who has worked in audio production for majors, international publishing houses, has tens of millions of streams on multiple platforms grown organically and independently, and has collaborated with Grammy nominated and Award Winning Production teams.
THIS COURSE COVERS EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO MINT AN NFT FOR A MUSICIAN, DR OR ARTIST, FROM THE GROUND UP
This course takes a smart and direct focus on the tools and technologies available from little to no starting experience so that you can decide for yourself what works be as you learn the actual key tools and skills required to succeed.

• Real examples from viral experience and success models and templates you can reference
MAKE A SUCCESSFUL NFT REGARDLESS STARTING EXPERIENCE
These days there are so many technologies out there and opinions, and learning just one perspective or thinking that there is only one way to do things can limit your ability to progress. Learning the lessons like the ones above are what it’s going to take to truly level you up so that you’re well ahead of the game in 2020 when it comes NFTs.
WHY LEARN FROM ME?
I’m the instructor with recognized industry certification and the resume to back it. I’ve worked as a head engineer (mixing and mastering) and co-producer (writing and producing) for majors, indies, and international publishing houses including working with Grammy nominated and Award Winning Productions. I’m also a very passionate teacher and have put out one of the highest rated award and bestselling courses on Udemy on Modern Audio Production.
I've also been credited with minting the very first solo NFT album, , 'Whale Shark' (cited by Clash, Broadway World, Vulture, Mixmag, New York Mag, & More), and made history in doing so. Whale Shark is now up on OpenSea if you're curious to check out the project and learn more!
Being a self taught producer, I’ve gained success with zero budget or studio to begin with, and spent years on my own interning and moonlighting at top world class studios, going through the grind of frustrations struggling to obtain the quality of production on my own as well as building my own audience until eventually gaining international notoriety for projects made on with nothing but a computer and headphones.
This is the actual simple and easy online course you need to learn about NFTs and even set up your own one. Learn the best technologies and techniques without all the hype and just a clear focus on the tools in benefit for the arts (all artists).
My teaching approach is clear, direct, and to the point (including industry secrets and tips I’ve picked up over the years all over the world) and I also promise we'll have some fun along the way too!
Now is the time to jump in and start making things happen. So join now and get enrolled and let’s start minting NFTs today!
See you in the lessons!

Doesn't feel good to buy a course and then be told within the first few minutes that there is a better more in depth course available. Makes me want to have just bought the more in depth course.
By Travis Storch on 5/6/2022
It's what I needed; a simple explanation. This course is a great starting point for anyone trying to conceptualize how NFTs can relate to music. He's got an interesting perspective as an artist and engineer and brings these elements together in an easy-to-understand way. I learned something.
By Mark c Evans on 4/19/2022
kinda over my head so far. I would like more detail but I do plan to watch this a second time so maybe this will all make since the 2nd time around

Clarian does a tremendous job teaching one about cryptospace and NFTs, especially how beneficial and liberating they are for aspiring artists! Thank you
By Wes Smith on 12/23/2021
Beginning was a bit wild on edits and off title topic but hey you gotta give some kind of intro, why not self promote. Worth $20 earthier way. Thanks for doing the course
By Lucv on 8/24/2021
this course is great for a total noob like me... just a musician wondering how nfts could actually work with my songs... interesting stuff!
By Daniel Petrica Ciobanu on 4/9/2021
basically no creative tutorial.. could've read all this on the specific websites.. quite dissapointing
By Vinicius Rucci on 4/4/2021
Embora o curso passe vagamente por todas as etapas, o conteúdo poderia ser melhor organizado. outro ponto negativo é que, em vários momentos, o autor apenas diz por onde você deveria seguir ao invés de mostrar o processo completo. Ajuda mas o conteúdo poderia ser melhor exposto.

I’m really enjoying this course; it’s an interesting and approachable gateway into NFT’s. I appreciate Clarian’s focus on the artist’s perspective & how we can take advantage of this new exciting technology!
By Tom Stevens on 3/28/2021
