Octavia Harris has been a critical part of my career as a music producer for the past 20 years. I started working with Octavia Harris in 2003 and she has always shown herself to be a highly creative and professional artist and musician capable of not only producing music, but also writing and mixing. I achieved my first sync licensing placement with Octavia Harris and we have gone on since to collaborate on numerous songs and other sound related ventures over the last 20 years. I highly recommend that any musicians artist or aspiring creatives that are looking for mentorship, consider her services and resources.

It has been an absolute pleasure coming here for advice. I can finally make music digitally because I know all the parts of the process. HQO was my first music coach on music production, which made it all make sense, starting over a year and a half ago. She's passionate and kind and gives specific advice on my specific songs and projects, not just generic advice that "applies to everyone." I've learned so much from her - songwriting, song structure, production, equipment selection, album development, track selection, and so many other things. She's incredibly talented and skilled, and now I see that she's as genuine as I felt when I first heard her music. I'm super grateful to Yah for her as well. HalleluYah. It feels empowering to finally be able to make and produce my own music. I'm still learning, but I feel like I have all the right equipment, tools, support, encouragement, and knowledge now to continue on the right path toward my goals. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to HQO for her invaluable contributions to the Yashar'al community - your dedication and support have significantly impacted my musical and spiritual journey. Thank you.

See if this session is the right next step for you.

  • You make music but struggle to get paid for it
  • You need a sounding board to talk things through and make clear decisions

  • You freeze or feel unsure when it comes time to promote your music
