In the world of music, your expertise is your most valuable asset. Whether you’re a performer, teacher, coach, or creative entrepreneur, your knowledge and skills are what set you apart. But as your business grows, you may find yourself stretched thin — juggling clients, managing schedules, and struggling to maintain that personal touch that makes your work so impactful.
But what if you could scale your expertise without sacrificing your authenticity? What if you could serve more clients, generate more income, and expand your impact — all without losing the human connection that makes your work special?
In this newsletter, I’m going to show you how musicians can achieve all of this using custom AI (Artificial Intelligence), specifically custom GPTs (Generative Pre-trained Transformers). This isn’t just about automation. It’s about amplification.
Why Musicians Struggle to Scale Without Losing Themselves
As musicians, we often feel like we have to do everything ourselves. We teach, perform, coach, compose, and run our own businesses. But the problem with this “do-it-all” approach is that it eventually leads to burnout.
And when we try to scale, we face a new challenge — how do we grow without losing the personal touch that makes our work meaningful?
For many musicians, scaling means:
- Offering more one-on-one lessons (trading more time for money).
- Recording courses or masterclasses (useful, but still passive).
- Creating PDFs, handouts, or eBooks (valuable, but static).
But there’s another way — a smarter way.
Imagine if your clients could access your expertise 24/7 — without you being in the room. Not just through pre-recorded videos or PDF guides, but through an intelligent assistant that speaks your language, reflects your values, and delivers your insights on demand.
That’s the power of custom GPTs.
What Are Custom GPTs and How Can They Help Musicians?
Custom GPTs are advanced AI-powered assistants that can learn from your intellectual property — your knowledge, teachings, and unique approach — and use that information to help your clients.
But unlike a static video or document, a custom GPT can interact with your clients, answer their questions, guide them through your methodology, and even help them solve problems — all in your voice.
For musicians, this means:
- Your students can get personalized guidance at any time.
- Your coaching clients can receive support even when you’re not available.
- Your signature methods can be scaled without you being stretched thin.
And the best part? A custom GPT doesn’t replace your human touch — it amplifies it.
How I Built My Custom GPT (And How You Can Too)
I didn’t just talk about this — I did it.
In my business, I created the Musician’s Marketing Maestro AI™ by Dr. Fabiana Claure, a custom AI assistant powered by my expertise in music entrepreneurship, coaching, and business strategy.
This AI didn’t just memorize my teachings. It was designed to think, respond, and problem-solve like I do. It could guide my clients through the same transformational journey I take them on in person.
Here’s how I did it:
1. Document Your Knowledge in Real-Time
I started by teaching my methods live — through group coaching calls, masterclasses, and one-on-one sessions. This ensured that the knowledge I captured was practical, relevant, and tested.
2. Organize Your Intellectual Property
Next, I categorized my teachings into key topics: branding, offer creation, marketing, sales, and client management. This structure made it easier to teach the AI.
3. Build the Custom AI Model
I worked with an AI development team to integrate my knowledge into a custom GPT, which could draw from my teachings, respond to questions, and guide clients in real-time.
4. Test and Optimize
Finally, I tested the AI with a select group of clients, gathered feedback, and made improvements to ensure it truly reflected my voice and values.
The result? My clients could get support whenever they needed it — and I could focus on higher-level coaching, business strategy, and personal fulfillment.
Will AI Make Your Business Impersonal? Only If You Let It.
One of the biggest fears musicians have about using AI is that it will replace the human connection they’ve built with their clients. But the truth is, AI doesn’t have to be a replacement.
When done right, a custom GPT is a multiplier — not a replacement.
- It handles the basics, so you can focus on deeper, more meaningful interactions.
- It provides consistent support, so your clients never feel abandoned.
- It protects your time while enhancing your clients’ results.
And most importantly, a well-designed custom GPT carries your voice, your values, and your vision — because it was built from your knowledge and experience.
If this sounds exciting but overwhelming, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Let’s explore how you can scale your music business with AI while staying true to your voice and values. Whether you’re curious about what’s possible or ready to build your own custom GPT, I’m here to help you get started.
