The artist will be provided with 2 hours of training every week in addition to any studio time allotted.
Week 1 - Planning will begin for the career goal of the artist, and material will be selected for production based on market analysis of the desired audience. Artist will have a label incorporated for their artist image, custom logo design provided by a graphic designer, and state paperwork filed.
Weeks 2-8 Production begins on three singles to be released independently or as an EP, as designated by the artist development plan created in week 1.

The final two weeks (31-32) are spent on master recordings and mixing the album.
