[inspiring the new renaissance]
It starts with a feeling.
A beat. A melody.
A song gifted to you by the universe
You have the drive and desire. The cosmic calling to create…
Yet, you get discouraged.
​
Maybe you don’t know where to start or how to finish. Maybe you feel overwhelmed with trying to figure out where to invest your time and energy. Maybe you don’t know how to make the song sound like your original vision. Maybe you worry it will never be good enough to truly make the ripple you KNOW it can.

About Akriza
Akriza has been producing music, both classical and electronic, for over two decades. He is a classically trained pianist and has a degree in audio engineering.
​
Akriza formally started his music project in 2020 and had his first release as Akriza on High Vibe Records Nov. 11th, 2020. Since then, he has had over 2 million streams, has over 100 finished songs in his catalog, and has a release on Gravitas Records. He has played at Burning Man, many festivals, and shows since then and is always working to better and advance his music career.

This Immersion is his passion project--to share his wisdom and learnings from a lifetime steeped in music. He's mostly self-taught, and knows it can be a long and challenging road for most people trying to figure out where to start and how to get going. Once you find your vision and your sound and have a tried-and-true process, your musical vision becomes a lot easier to produce.
Akriza is a dedicated musician who strives to be an inspiration for others in their creative endeavors.

STILL NOT SURE???
When you avoid taking action on your dream, you will look back years later wishing you had started when when you had the fire and inspiration to bring your dream to fruition. Who do you want to be, the person taking action now or the person looking back wishing they were 5 years ahead of the game?
​
If you want to bring your dreams to fruition it is imperative that you devote fully to your artistry, develop a process, and commit to practicing on a regular basis. You will get stuck and you will want to quit, but this immersion will give you the tools to persevere and succeed so you can look back at yourself in 5 years and be like, "damn, I did it".
​
We will guide you through the hardest part of the process, creating and releasing your first song. Once you do this, everything else becomes so much easier.
​
There's a term in coding called "Hello, World" which is a metaphor for getting your minimum viable product launched. When you do this, the rest of the process becomes more straightforward. This immersion will be your Hello, World: it's the first step in unleashing your inner creativity and paving the way for success with your music goals. It's the foundation from which you can build, grow, and create music that is uniquely yours. You will have done the hardest part of the process and will now have the tools to replicate it time and time again.
