Hi, I'm TÂCHES and over the last 13 years, I've built an independent music career that has generated over $600,000 in revenue whilst allowing me to maintain complete creative control. I've risen to the top of my field and become one of the most respected house producers on Earth whilst staying true to myself and my values always.
I've collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry, including RÜFÜS DU SOL, ZHU, Eli & Fur and Anabel Englund. I've been asked to remix giant pop acts like Janet Jackson, Naughty Boy, Wiz Khalifa and John Newman.
I've released music on many of the biggest and most respected dance music labels in the world, including Anjunadeep, Get Physical, Kindisch, Kitsuné, Majestic Casual and many more.

Independent Success
Organic Growth
Heart of Sound isn't music education—it's career transformation. Over 12 weeks, you gain direct access to the strategic thinking, creative methodologies, and industry connections that generated 71 million streams and $550,000+ in independent revenue.
This intensive works because of focused attention and genuine community. Each cohort is deliberately small to ensure every artist receives the strategic guidance necessary for their specific breakthrough.
After building a career that generates significant revenue and reaches
millions globally, I kept meeting talented producers stuck in the same
patterns I once was. They had technical skills but struggled to finish
music that truly represented their voice. They understood the tools
but hadn't developed the strategic thinking that transforms bedroom
producers into professional artists.
I realized the industry teaches production techniques everywhere, but
almost no one teaches the integration of authentic creativity with
commercial strategy. This intensive exists because I wished someone
had shared these insights with me years ago—it would have accelerated
my development by half a decade.
Most courses teach: Technical skills in isolation
I teach: How technical mastery serves authentic expression
Most courses offer: Information you can find online
I offer: Strategic insights from building a $550K+ independent career
Each year, I work with a small group of serious artists who are ready to bridge the gap between technical proficiency and professional success. This isn't about learning more techniques—it's about developing the artistic confidence and strategic thinking that sustain long-term careers.

Guatemala-based visionary MOSE transcends traditional electronic production by infusing his music with ceremonial intention and spiritual depth. Through his pioneering "cacao dance" ceremonies and soul-stirring productions, he demonstrates how music becomes a vessel for healing and connection rather than mere entertainment. Students will learn from his unique approach to creating music as a sacred conversation - perfectly embodying the Heart of Sound philosophy that music should be approached as a divine force we collaborate with rather than simply technical content we create.
Montreal's Kora exemplifies Heart of Sound's vision of the empowered artist - having built a distinctive sonic identity that attracts devoted followers while maintaining complete creative control through his acclaimed Saisons label. His masterful storytelling through melodic house transcends genre boundaries, proving that authenticity resonates more powerfully than trend-chasing. Students will discover how to balance emotional depth with technical precision, creating music that both moves dancers physically and touches listeners spiritually - the essence of making music that truly matters.
Multi-instrumentalist YEMANJO demonstrates the transformative power of approaching music as cultural conversation rather than appropriation. His acclaimed album "La Misma Fuente" weaves global traditions into a borderless sonic tapestry that honors indigenous wisdom while innovating fearlessly. Students will learn his approach to integrating diverse cultural elements with modern production techniques, creating music that transcends barriers while maintaining authentic emotional resonance - embodying the course's philosophy of music as a unified, healing force rather than a technical exercise.
AGUAVA's journey from college musician to celebrated producer exemplifies the path of the empowered artist Heart of Sound champions. His genre-fluid productions for Majestic Casual showcase the freedom that comes from following intuitive creative instincts rather than industry formulas. Students will learn his approach to crafting distinctive, emotionally resonant music that maintains artistic integrity while building genuine connection with listeners - mastering the delicate balance between personal expression and audience engagement that lies at the core of sustainable artistic success.
These six principles form the foundation of everything we explore together. They aren't just concepts I teach—they're the values that transformed my relationship with music creation and built my career. Each represents a fundamental shift in how you'll approach your artistry.
Copying others leads to creative burnout and commercial failure. I guide you to uncover and develop your unique perspective, creating music that stands out because it could only come from you, building devoted fans.
Successful artists aren't just talented—they complete and share work regularly. I help you build the systems and mindset that transform ideas into finished tracks, ensuring your creative work reaches listeners and generates sustainable income.
Technical skills mean nothing without the mental clarity to apply them strategically. We develop the focus and resilience to navigate industry challenges while building sustainable momentum toward your career goals, transforming potential into consistent achievement and recognition.
Music that moves people comes from genuine emotion, not technical perfection. I show you how to create from authentic expression rather than intellectual concepts, crafting music with emotional depth that creates lasting connection with listeners.
Isolation stunts career growth. You join a network of serious artists and industry professionals where collaboration and strategic introductions accelerate everyone's advancement. These relationships become your most valuable long-term assets.
The most successful artists trust their instincts completely. I help you develop the inner conviction to make bold creative choices and share your work without hesitation. This confidence becomes your creative compass for career-defining decisions.
