Hi! My name is Lillian Frances and I'm a music producer and educator. Most of my life growing up I secretly wanted to be a musician, but was too afraid to even admit it to myself. I was scared I wouldn't be any good, that it would be too hard, that my ambitions were embarrassingly grandiose and that I wouldn't be able to "compete" with musicians that had already been doing it for years or decades.
But after a a lifetime of repressing my dreams, I finally realized that my desire to make music would never go away, and that starting now was sure better than starting in a year, in five years, etc. In 2015 I realized that electronic music production was the way to go, because it literally allows you the freedom to create anything and everything sonically. Plus it's hella badass and fun as all heck.
But learning a music production software can be intimidating. I still remember the first time I opened up Ableton Live and though "there is literally no way I'll ever be able to learn all this." I thought because I wasn't a "tech person" it was way out of the scope of my abilities. Turns out I was dead wrong. Anyone can learn to produce music; you can certainly learn to produce music.
I feel passionately that being a beginner is the most powerful position you can be in, and it's my goal to make learning music production as easy and fun as possible. I want you to feel empowered to create the music you hear in your head, and to have fun doing it. Let me show you how!
do you want to put your own music up online to share it with friends and fans?
