"Working with Cari is the single most influential choice I have made on my path to becoming a professional recording artist. She seems to have an innate sensitivity towards people's true selves. Cari saw and believed in my potential, I think, even more than I did. She has helped me put together my sound and style as an artist. With her guidance and introductions, I have signed a record deal and my career has taken off. I know if it weren't for Cari, I would still just be dreaming of what could be. She is a friend, and a mentor. Her steadfast commitment has changed my course as an artist for the better."

“Working with Cari has not only propelled my career, it has changed my life in the most profound way. She has shared with me how to empower myself through my own projection and music. The passion, the love, and the care that she shows for my success is rare and very powerful. She sincerely has my best interest in mind...I can feel that. I trust her, and that is so helpful in this world...to know that someone's got my back like that. You can't put a price on someone or something that projects success from the depths of their heart and soul.”

“Cari Cole is the ultimate vocal coach. Her understanding of the voice and its complexities, is not only comprehensive, meticulous and in-exhaustive, but her additional knowledge regarding everything in the music industry makes her my guiding light. There have been so many experiences so far in my career when I simply don’t know what I would have done without her!”

"Cari is an incredibly special human being. Not only is she smart as a whip when it comes to her technical understanding of the voice, health, and body, but she has an equal depth of understanding when it comes to the emotional and spiritual needs of the artist. Her curiosity, intelligence, talent, wisdom, and discipline inspire me daily. Without Cari's influence, I know I wouldn't have pushed myself to be where I am today. In 2 years, I have gone from 9-5 office manager to full-time musician. Cari, thank you for giving me the knowledge and strength to prepare me for a career as an artist. Because of you, I get to wake up every day and do what I love."

“I am blessed because I have been studying with Cari Cole for over three years. She has provided me with the tools that have strengthened my voice, developed my signature sound, and taught me how to write lyrics. Cari also teaches how to foster vocal health and wellness. Her vocal techniques have transformed the way I use my voice. With her guidance, I understand that I must have the right tools to master the game of being a musician: vocal, musical, and most importantly mindset. Thanks to Cari, I am better able to grow as a musician and build the music career that I want. Cari Cole is a master teacher, positive role model, and mentor and I love working with her.”

“I came to Cari with years of experience as a performer and vocalist but was severely lacking in my skills as a songwriter and knowledge of the industry. Working with Cari has been the most eye-opening experience of my career. She has connected me with top-notch songwriters and producers, and taught me how to tap into myself in ways I never thought possible. My writing is now reflecting that I am creating some of the most honest music of my career.” www.sarramusik.com

“Cari Cole’s Step Up To The Spotlight program is as vital of a foundational course for emerging artists as it is a career recalibration opportunity for seasoned musicians. I've been a full-time, independent performing songwriter for over a decade now, and there’s indispensable information in this program that I wish I had known when I was starting out. The aspects of mindset alone are worth the price of the course along with the nurturing support system of Cari and her exceptional team. This course is a must for any artist who takes their career seriously in today's ever-changing music industry."

“Cari has been a constant source of wisdom and encouragement to me for the past few years. My vocals have drastically improved since I first started the Singer's Gift and I use these warmups daily when I'm on tour. She has provided me with many tips to keep my voice strong on the road. Being a "musicpreneur" as she calls it, can be a treacherous path for a soft-hearted artistic soul and it has been a God-send to have Cari around to walk alongside me through the journey.”

“As soon as I began working with Cari, I knew this was going to help change my career path. Being a classically trained vocalist since I was a child, the vocal techniques Cari teaches are still eye-opening to me. Everything from career strategies, straightforward advice, and her belief in me has helped me achieve my goals step by step. Inder Cari's direction, I have secured major distribution, got signed with a top booking agent and manager, as well as billed as the opening act on multiple national tours. Cari has taught me how to stand my ground in building my business, and I want to thank her for always being there.”

“Cari Cole’s ‘Step-Up’ program has literally transformed me. Before I began, I had never had the vocal and business knowledge I needed to be the best singer-songwriter I could be. Now, with implementing Cari’s daily vocal warm-ups and visualization into my everyday calendar (including a whole new outlook on branding and planning and stepping up my game plan), my singing/songwriting path is leading me to brand new worlds. I am humbled at what I didn’t know and challenged to grow my vocals and business. Thank you Cari Cole for rocking and changing my world.”

It has changed how I am as an artist. Whether it's the insights, the daily practices, or the cheerleading and critique, it really is like playing the game on a different level.

“My whole approach to my music business changed after I took Cari Cole’s course. For years I felt overwhelmed and really disorganized with all the aspects of being a successful musician. I felt strongly like I needed a mentor whose advice and guidance would help steer me down the right path with my efforts. I didn’t have money to waste and so I really needed to be sure she and her course were for me. I’m just so happy to have her in my life as a friend and music mentor. Investing in one of her courses may be one of the best things you can do for your career.”

“Cari took my head out of the clouds and helped me create real, tangible, attainable goals. When I started working with her, I was overwhelmed with how I should be focusing my energy. With Cari’s guidance and all the information she packed into her program, she really helped me figure out how to stay organized and build a team so I could focus on what I do best – making music. She took the time to work with me on a personal level, and broke things down into bite-sized pieces so I could easily see what needed to be done and how."

Her insight into the mania of being an artist and the climate of the industry make her singularly apt at dealing with and constructively helping vocalists and songwriters. She had developed a phenomenal training program that, when followed, is quite literally fool-proof.

“I wanted to thank you for your Step Up To The Spotlight program! I had two huge takeaways: finding my "true north" and focusing completely on my sound and message as an artist. This advice alone will save me YEARS and lots of money spent developing the wrong brand for me! I work with your vocal warmups multiple times per week and have seen the results paying off on the stage and in the studio. I have since decided to move forward with Fast Forward to Fame and cannot say enough great things. There is truly no other program like this out there. Thanks, Cari for transforming my artist career!”

“I’ve taken a bunch of Cari’s programs, participated in her events, and use her vocal warm-ups every day. If you’re willing to work hard and demand more from yourself than ever, you’ll find greater success faster than you thought would be possible. You’ll gain tools that will help you write better songs, speak up for your authentic voice, and sing with your fullest potential. The greatest thing that I’ve gained from all of Cari’s programs and mentorship, is support. It’s the type of positive motivation that will get you moving forward, working harder, and feeling prouder of yourself than you ever have before.”

“Cari Cole is an exceptional talent and teacher. She has the ability to cut through physical, emotional + energetic barriers which halt one’s singing career and dreams. Each time I work with her I know I am being seen as whole person, and not just a ‘singing voice’. Cari’s perceptiveness make’s it easy for her to tap in to where I need the most support. And her work goes straight to the heart. I leave her studio feeling empowered, confident and full of possibility.”

After the program, my record charted on the Billboard Charts for 16 consecutive weeks on the Smooth Jazz charts. Thank you, Cari!”

“Just one hour of working with Cari Cole on vocal arrangements completely changed, and really rescued, my EP. Working with Cari really showed me what I was capable of and the true potential of my record. My producer sat in on the session, and we both experienced such a radical improvement after Cari’s vocal phrasing and arranging, that we decided to re-record all the vocals! Now I am putting out a record, confident that it is the best representation of me and my voice.”

“Where have you been all my life?! I lived under the impression for too long that all I needed was talent and the rest would fall into place. After years of going nowhere on talent alone, I tried to learn as much about the music industry through my own research, but always got too overwhelmed. Cari laid it all out in easy to digest parts. My six months in The Artist Success Circle provided me with more information and knowledge on the music industry than I ever got in 12 years of trying to figure it out on my own. Not only do I now have the tools and resources to launch a successful release, but I got to be part of a community with constant encouragement and advice that pushed me to be better than I ever thought I could be.”

“Working with Cari Cole this past year in the Artist Success Circle has helped me raise the level of my music tremendously. My voice sounds the best it ever has, my branding has a new, fresh look, and my music business is set up to move forward. Cari’s kind, insightful instruction along with her strong encouragement, have helped me believe more fully in myself as a musician and boldly step into the challenges I face. The benefits I’ve received from working with Cari make her programs one of the best values I’ve encountered in music business training and instruction. Thank you Mama Lion!”

“In 15 years working as a professional singer-songwriter I never received the kind of guidance and support that Cari Cole offers in her private sessions and programs. My voice, now a stronger instrument, helped me belt high notes with such power singing on stage with Andrea Bocelli, that the press spent 30 minutes interviewing me on how I achieved my vocal accomplishments. I could only say “Cari Cole!” Working with Cari is truly and amazing gift. Do it!”

“Working with Cari Cole in the Signature Songwriting Circle was an invaluable experience I will never forget. With her cutting-edge, holistic A&R process, Cari has developed a method of finding each artist’s individual voice and message, and allowing that story to organically resonate in their art and career. Working alongside Cari, her pro songwriter Stolar had an uncanny sense of helping me say exactly what I wanted to say: something personal, revealing, and artistically provocative. With Cari’s intuition and tangible guidance, all of us in the program were able to advance our art and further develop professional mindsets. She has the perfect advice for anyone, anywhere in their musical trajectory. Additionally, there was so much growth learning alongside a community of musicians who now consider songwriting their calling. For as much as the program offered in the near-term, I expect my experience will offer ongoing benefits as an artist and songwriter.”

“After working with Cari one-on-one for just a few short months, I’ve already begun to experience a significant shift in my songwriting and voice that has overflowed into my entire life. Guided by her wisdom and insight, my songwriting is venturing further into the emotional deep, bringing forth the kind of songs that resonate to the core. For years I’ve struggled with trying to find my “sound” as an artist. Cari’s compassion and encouragement provide a safe space to explore my vulnerability and find my authenticity. She uses her technical expertise in melody, phrasing and breathing to help find where my voice sits best in a song. Mix all that together, and I’ve got my “sound.” I feel that I’ve grown more in the past four months, both as an artist and a person, through working with Cari than I have in the past four years trying to do it all on my own, and we’re just getting started! I’m finally on the path to my true North. My only regret is that I wish I had started working with Cari sooner!”

“Cari Cole’s Fast Forward to Fame program was a fabulous opportunity! Its value will continue long after the class has ended. Some of the content of the program was immediately useful to me – essential elements of a website, how to build my mailing list, the importance of blogging and sending consistent newsletters to fans, and the power of a fabulous photograph. (Cari recognized mine before I did!) Other aspects of the program are waiting for me to revisit them now that I am ready. Cari provides a wealth of information and resources, and she creates a community to share the experience with. I am grateful for having participated. I now understand more about how to create systems that will help my music business grow. In the two weeks that I have had my new CD in my hands, I have received radio play on WXPN (my favorite station!) and I have been approached about a potential publishing deal. This is due in part to the way I have learned to present myself to the world. Cari Cole shines a bright light on the path for indie artists. I feel grateful and inspired.”

“Trying to navigate through a mind field of explosive challenges and constant changes in the new music frontier can be an arduous and overwhelming task for a music career minded entrepreneur. Cari Cole’s ‘Mind Over Music’ program opens the dialogue you have with yourself on a daily basis to eliminate the negative by focusing on the positive and empowering your own inner convictions. Thru this daily process of learning to carry your own torch, you form habits of eliminating the clutter and value of manifesting your greatest potential. We as musicians are a rare bread. Music has chosen us. We were not born to fit into the world as it is. We were born to create a new Universe.”

I submitted my song for licensing back in September, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence at all that they waited until late January to tell me that it was approved. I am working every day on losing my fear of success. Now I truly feel that my success is only a matter of time. The Facebook group is a great resource to support everyone in the program. It’s nice to be able to chat with other people about what we’re experiencing. Cari is real, and refreshing on all the calls. There’s no BS in the program at all. No ‘follow this list’ or ‘read this book’ and ‘you’ll be famous’ stuff. Just honest advice, not only about how to be a better musician, but how to be a happier and more peaceful human being. Cari’s program is the only program that I’ve ever jived with in the music world. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Cari shined a spotlight on how important it was for me to focus on producing super high-quality recordings of great songs. It’s an obvious thing really, but somehow I was ready to hear it this time & her communication connected with me on different level. To be honest, I actually felt a bit off-balance & uncomfortable following that session, but deep down I knew that she had re-connected me with a simple yet powerful fundamental truth that I was now ready for & that a shift in my thinking would need to occur.. so I stepped aside & allowed the transformation to occur & for the comfortableness to pass.. & here I am, with a new mind set & in a totally different space & recording the record of a lifetime with a Grammy-winning producer that Cari introduced me to! Bottom line.. I think Fast Forward to Fame is an awesome program & I want other artists to know it! & Cari, I want you to know that you have successfully contributed to a wonderful positive shift in my life.”

“Cari Cole is someone I find hard to describe, but she feels like a best friend who also just happens to be a musical expert. She not only helps me spiritually, with wise words of positivity and energy, but also has a stellar mind and professionality that pushes me into a higher realm of musical production and thought. Since taking part in the Fast Forward to Fame course, I have been working smarter and more strategically. I’ve jumped leaps and bounds beyond what I ever could have thought possible. Cari Cole is one part savior, and one part secret weapon.”

“I have been lucky enough to co-write and sing on other projects with major and indie labels resulting in weeks on the Billboard charts and music videos with over 130,000 views. It’s always been a bit surprising to me that with all of my successes there is no obvious and clear path that I can see to making a living as a recording artist. At least there hasn’t been, until now. Almost immediately the skills, methods and practices I have learned through Cari and the Fast Forward to Fame program, are garnering real results. My branding has improved immensely and my fan base is growing daily. I have released an independent solo record via Crowdfunding and am now on the first round ballot for 3 Grammy categories. From social media to booking shows, recording music and performing at cool venues so much of my life is about doing what I love. Now every day, is about my music career and I couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you Cari!”

“My power hour with Cari flew by! I can’t believe all the material we covered from vocal health and technique to artistic direction. Cari gave me awesome advice on how to increase my fan base and was able to see in me, the artist I know I’m meant to be. She helped me better understand the music industry and helped me solidify my true north as an artist. She gave me the confidence I needed to believe in myself and really go for my dreams! It is so relieving to talk to someone who is knowledgeable in so many areas and who really understands what its like to be an artist. What a relief to FINALLY be understood! Cari, you’re one of a kind and I am so thankful that you put all your heart and soul into helping artists like me 🙂 Thank you so so so so much!!”

In addition to developing techniques that helped me achieve better sound, vocal flexibility, and ease of expression, working with Cari helped me to find deeper connection to both the songs and my audience. She’s an inspirational woman and knows her stuff! One of the best investments I could have made for my career!”

“Before Cari’s Artist Success Circle class I felt very overwhelmed by the many things to do to manage my music career as an independent artist. Through her wisdom and advice about the various parts of the music business and strategies, I gained so much clarity on my direction, branding, organization and structure. I now feel I have control over my business and although there is still a whole lot to do, I’m much more confident that I’ll be able to manage myself, delegate and reach the success I’m striving for. I’m immensely grateful and would recommend this program to any artist who feels a bit lost or overwhelmed or just wants to gain more knowledge about the music industry and self management. The Circle will also provide a wonderful community of artists who are working through the same challenges and understand you. It was inspiring and very motivating. Thank you Cari”

“Cari Cole is BRILLIANT! Right away, you can feel how big of a heart she has for the work she does. Intuitive, knowledgeable, and current… her program copiously cracks open a lot of the mystery surrounding record deals, copyrights, branding, growing your fan base, working with Music Exec’s… I never had a question that went unanswered. Throughout the modules & phone calls, I had the roof blown off some of my preconceived ideas about the music industry. To state it simply, after working with Cari, I just feel less scared of it all.Her online community is a huge part of working with her & it was amazing to see so many artists who had the same questions as I did. Everyone in the community helps each other out & it’s a really cool dynamic.Cari is part soul-mentor, music industry-guru & cheering-friend… and she is SO FUN to work with! Equally compassionate and “tell it like it is”… you may get a welcomed kick in the pants from time to time. 🙂 I can honestly say I am a more prepared & well-rounded artist after working with Cari. I can’t wait to work with her again!”

“I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Cari Cole in a number of different capacities, but my role as her student has by far been the most rewarding. Like any great mentor, Cari consistently challenges me to go deeper into my craft, whether it be as a writer, performer or entrepreneur. She offers an unvarnished perspective designed to bring out the very best version of the artist in all of us, and delivers it in a way that makes you feel loved and believed in. Cari’s systems provide as unique an opportunity for artistic and personal growth as I’ve ever encountered. So much so that when I look back on the last three years leading up the release of my debut record, I consider this relationship to be the single biggest turning point of my career, and feel more prepared than ever to step into my artistic space.”

“Fast Forward to Fame is definitely the P90X of the independent music world. This is for any serious musician/band navigating their way through the current music industry. Cari’s program is incredibly intense and detailed; she’s totally on top of all trends so nothing is ever outdated in any of her material. I’ve never seen a program or book that gives musicians every single tool they need in order to find the success they’re searching for. In addition to the invaluable tools provided in FF2F, her program is awesome because, as musicians, we’re scatterbrained people and we need some guidance and help staying organized. Fast Forward to Fame teaches you exactly what to do to stay on top of things, with great step-by-step modules, which will help you reach wherever it is you’re going. By the time you finish this program, other musicians and bands in your music scene will be looking at you in a different way. You’ll have professionalism about you that I guarantee you didn’t have prior to joining this. You’ll be getting more gigs and more fans. It’s an intense program and I don’t advise any ole’ musician to join. This is for artists who are willing to put in the work.”

“Working with Cari in the ‘Step Up’ Program was an inspiring and rewarding experience for me. Cari is very caring, and committed to helping artists in addition to being super talented and experienced. I use her vocal warm-ups daily now. As an early enrollee of Step Up I was lucky enough to win one of Cari’s Fame Finder Sessions where we spent an hour looking my music, website and online presence. Cari really took the time to listen and find the unique thread in my songs, and then guided me to follow that voice. Overall the program motivated me to focus and dive into my craft fully for six weeks and beyond. Thank you Cari for being an amazing teacher and incredible source of support.”

“I already had a voice coach with whom I am working who would often remind me of the need for a marketing strategy but like many artists, I wasn’t really interested in this aspect. I only wanted to focus on my music and the whole idea of ‘selling’ myself was not only overwhelming,but just downright frightening. Honestly, I’m not one for seminars so when my sister introduced me to the program, I thought it was another one of ‘those overpriced seminars’ that leave you with little to no new information. However the information that Cari shared in just the freeconference call was so amazing, I considered it to be the first indication that this program was different. I feel that any life change begins first with the mind, which is why I am so glad I was a part of the StepUp program. I learned so much invaluable information that was key to my growth as an artist. It affirmed me in the things I was doing right,and showed me how to improve the others. The attitude, tips, and habits are now a part of my everyday life as an artist. This new information was not only a springboard for my artistic growth but also for marketing myself, something that I now enjoy but loathed in the beginning. You can have great talent as an artist, but with no plan your dream will only be a dream. Cari Cole’s Step Up program will help you make a plan to reach your goals and make your dream a reality.”

“The Mind Over Music program has been a great investment! I’m learning how to discover the things going on in my head that I need to kick to the curb! I would even recommend it to non-musicians. Life is art, and we are all life artists. Thanks to Cari for creating something that helps keep our minds on the track to success! The Facebook group is also really supportive and compassionate.”

“What can I say about Cari Cole? From my very first session of working with her, my voice improved by leaps and bounds. Her unique approach and techniques have given my voice incredible results. I was amazed to find my voice doing things I never believed possible. Aside from Cari making me feel totally comfortable, she has a very comprehensive way of making you understand what to do, and then your voice just does it!. Working with her has improved my confidence, bettered my stage presence and recordings, and has given me the faith and determination to keep moving forward. Thank you Cari, YOU ROCK!!!!!!!”

“Working With Cari Cole has changed my life as a singer and performer! She’s not only an incredible voice coach, she’s an amazing person as well. When I first began seeing Cari a few years ago, my voice was in pretty bad shape. I saw her twice a week for about six months and my voice started improving tremendously! Because of Cari I’m able to reach notes I never thought were possible. I’ve also learned how to save my voice from overuse. I recently embarked on a three-month college/university tour playing approximately forty shows. A few months before I left, I was extremely concerned about losing my voice on tour. Because of the work I had done with Cari and all her lessons I brought on my iPod, my voice was in incredible shape throughout the entire tour. Cari has changed my voice, improved my life and is a wonderful friend. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their skills as a singer, musician and performer!”

“I still have the Step Up to the Spotlight modules on repeat because there is so much to learn in each one. It is an impressively well-rounded course that covers many aspects of music that I had never thought of, even as a full-time musician. I am relieved not to be wasting time anymore, and to have Cari to turn to for guidance and mentorship as I follow my wildest musical dreams. The Artistic Apex guided visualization in Cari Cole’s Step Up Program. After doing it just a few times I’ve felt much more grounded onstage, and aware of the connection that I hope to share with people through music. Then, at a show last month, someone came over to me to say that “you have magic in you.” I honestly could not believe her words. And she came over AGAIN later in the evening to say the same thing, like she really wanted to make sure I knew it. I realized that so much of what I’ve been working on over the last decade is coming together in a special way now. The guided visualization is only part of it, because I needed to be in a place where I would accept that visualization as a true possibility and really believe in it. There have been many books, retreats, mentors both musical and spiritual, so much practicing, touring, recording, morning pages, prayer, meditation, soul searching… all to come around to the fact that yes, this musical dream comes from a real, true, loving place, yes, it’s a gift I’m given to share. I could have never said this ten years ago without feeling totally arrogant and deluded. But the thing is, it’s not arrogant to think I have a gift, because, as Cari Cole says, everyone has pure gold inside of them, amazing goodness to share, if they are just themselves and true to their inner child. If we have the opportunity and good health… it’s almost like we have an obligation to share our gifts and put more “happy ripples” out into the world to heal the bad ones. And we don’t even have to do it perfectly, we just try our best. As Leonard Cohen says, “ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.” That quote keeps popping up for me lately. Cari quotes it as well.”

“I’ve always been quite stubborn about doing things on my own. I have the ultimate independent musician’s personality. But when Cari Cole offered her help in her programs, something really spoke to me. I was working on a new project, and I was feeling scattered and a little bit stuck in my creative process. I was finally open to the wisdom and guidance of someone who had experience in all facets of creating a breakthrough record, in today’s music industry. From what it takes to craft an amazing song, to the business and emotional elements it takes to be a great DIY artist. All of the issues I was afraid would come up in the class, did. And I’m truly grateful for this. Cari Cole guided me through my insecurities and educated me in what it takes to release a great record. She has a profound knowledge, strength and heart, which she is passionate about sharing. She genuinely wants her students to succeed. Cari taught me that I’m not alone, and by sharing ideas and working with my peers, I had the support to write an amazing new signature song! I received so much information that will remain invaluable as I work on my new Album. Cari believed in me and reminded me during the class, that I can do this. And she was right. Since I’ve completed YEBR and YBR, I’ve been nominated 3 times in the Southwest Independent Music Awards.”

“I had been listening to Cari’s free calls and getting her newsletters for a couple of years which I always found very helpful. I thought somehow I could “figure it out” on my own and piece it together myself which is what was stopping me from signing up for the courses when I first heard about them. This obviously didn’t happen and finally I decided enough was enough. I didn’t want to be floundering in my own confusion forever so I dove in and took Step Up and then YER. Cari really provides you with more information than you can handle which is amazing because you always feel like you’re getting so much value for your money. Also the 1 on 1 sessions I’ve had with her have been so insightful and helpful to have an objective industry pro’s opinion. But the value doesn’t stop there! The group courses create such a rich and dynamic network of musicians that are so warm and willing to help you with whatever you need, not to mention Cari really adds her personal touch and works with you, answers your questions which is something above and beyond what I was expecting. The vocal warmups are seriously amazing and I noticed significant results after doing them just a few times. Her songwriting modules and advice has helped me write some of the best songs of my life. I’ve really upleveled myself as an artist, increased my confidence and commitment to my passion and mission in this world thanks to Cari’s programs and advice. Since Cari and her team are amazingly wonderful people, they really attract like minded and very talented students 🙂 I very highly recommend all artists at any stage take a look and check out all her programs and courses!”

“I was blown away by how much I got out of Cari’s 6 month Artist Success Circle course. Her musical and industry expertise, paired with her compassion and wisdom were invaluable. Cari’s strategic course material focused an overwhelming industry into manageable, doable and joyful processes. Cari and her team provided the perfect blend of technical and industry advice, individual guidance and emotional support. The support and insights provided by classmates added to the richness of this experience. This is exactly what I needed at this point in my life. The friendships and network developed through this class will last for years to come and it is the best investment I’ve made in myself as a musician and songwriter.”
