The music industry focuses on artist discovery rather than artist development.
Because of that, countless musicians and songwriters are not given the mentorship or resources they need to succeed.
At Fathering Artists, we believe that every songwriter has the potential for success—it’s just a matter of having the right mentorship, community, and resources.
But we can’t do it alone. Your support can help provide the critical tools and guidance these artists need to succeed. When you donate to Fathering Artists, you’re not just giving to a cause—you’re helping to shape the future of music by nurturing the voices that will inspire generations to come.
Help us ensure that no talented artist is left behind. Join our "Leave a Legacy" campaign and give the gift of mentorship, community, and opportunity. Together, we can empower artists to write the songs that shape culture.

"The speakers at Fathering Artists were incredible! John-Paul is one of the most brilliant coaches I've ever met. He is extremely skilled at turning a good song into a great song.
I love that Fathering Artists values breaking the boxes. It might offend people, but it won't offend God.
I left with such a deep sense of grounding of how important music is in connecting with people - it's all about connection.
