The #1 Problem Artists and Producers Face Today is...
Isolation
In today’s music world… it’s never been easier to produce great music.
But there’s still an issue that every musician faces… being isolated alone in their studios working on their music!
What’s more: with all sorts of tutorials and articles online on music production, songwriting, it’s often hard to know if you’re learning the right thing.
Should you invest your money into new synths and plugins to produce better music?
Or should you buy the newest microphone on offer or the newest audio interface for a better vocal sound?
As a Grammy-nominated producer who’s been lucky to work with producers and artists such as Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Danjahandz, Sia, Jason Derulo, and many others… let me tell you the truth:
Without a community, mentorship, and guidance around your music… it just won’t reach its fullest potential.
And today, I’d like to give all of that to you...
Meet Your Music Mentor
My name is Ivan Corraliza, but in the music world I'm known as ill Factor.
After spending almost 2 decades producing music for some of the world’s best-known artists, I founded Beat Academy to create a resource and community for musicians all over the world to make Grammy-worthy songs and achieve their music goals.
What The Pros are Saying
"While working with ill Factor, I've been able to learn key essentials when it comes to the music creation process, and even the business. His tips have helped me go from our studio "runner", to now engineering for A-List artists such as Kelly Rowland, Sean Paul to name a few..."
Beau Vallis
Artist & Engineer (Future, Pharrell, Kelly Rowland)
"ill Factor has been a huge help with my new workflow. He has taught me the ins and outs of working with Ableton live and maximizing my creativity."
Nate Hills (Danja Handz)
Grammy Winning Producer (Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, Britney Spears)
"ill Factor and I have worked closely together on many different projects and for many years. It has been amazing watching him grow into the artist he is today."
Jimmy Douglass
Grammy Winning Engineer (Aretha Franklin, Kanye West, Jay Z)
What Beat Academy Students are Saying:

Introducing...
Here’s what you get inside Beat Academy:
1. The Active, Vibrant, Beat Academy Community Forum
This is where you’ll be able to network, connect and collaborate with the other members.
Need someone to give you feedback on your music? Or looking for a producer to help you finish a track?
You’ll be held accountable here to your music, and be given the crucial feedback you need to improve your music.
Here’s how the Community Forum will help your music:
- Get the accountability you need to keep making music by sharing your songs inside the “Post Your Work” section
- Find instrumentalists, producers and other artists to work with inside the “Collaborate” section
- Submit your music for possible synchronization and placements inside the “Incoming Projects” section, where I personally share opportunities from my network!
- Get tailored advice on how to recreate the sound in your favorite songs in the “How To Make This Sound” section
- And much, much more
2. Exclusive Member’s Only Content
As part of your membership, you’ll be able to access all sorts of exclusive content, such as:
- In-depth music production breakdowns where I break down tracks I’ve produced, and explain each step of the production process. From main instruments, vocal treatments, to how I put the track together, it’s all there.
- Beat Critiques where I break down the tracks of Beat Academy members and give my best advice on how to improve them
- Song makeovers where I take a member’s track and re-produce and remix it from my perspective.
- And new exclusive content is added to the member’s area every month!
3. The Beat Academy Vault
Inside the Beat Academy Vault, you’ll be able to access:
- Sample packs of various genres to help you kickstart your beats
- Exclusive member’s only discounts on offers for music production software, plugins and more
- In-depth interviews on various aspects of the music industry, such as how to get your music into video games and synch placements
- And more and more content will be added as time passes.
The vault will help you kickstart your music ideas, offer you insights on music and the music industry, all while giving you the tools to help you produce music better.
4. Monthly Live Calls
As a Beat Academy member, you’ll be able to attend twice a month Live Calls with me and other guests.
Every month, I hold a live Q&A call where I answer any questions you have on music or the music industry.
On top of that, I also hold a Live Listening Session where I listen to tracks that members have submitted and give my feedback on the spot.
We’ve had guests such as Grammy-winning producer Nate “Danja” Hills who’s produced music for artists such as Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, and Beyonce, come on to answer questions on music production, and how producers can get started in the music industry.
Or Taylor Swift’s former manager Rick Barker, who came on to answer questions on how to launch a career as an independent artist.
From Grammy-nominated producers to the mixers of today’s top artists, the guests on these calls will offer you valuable, time-tested and proven advice for you and your music.
Plus, every single live call is recorded and uploaded to the member’s area, so even if you can’t make the call timing due to your timezone or schedule, you won’t miss out on anything.
And you can always submit your questions beforehand if you can’t attend the call live.
5. Monthly Beat Academy Challenges
Every month, we hold a challenge for all Beat Academy members to write, record and produce a song.
The winner is always randomly picked - that’s because the purpose of the challenge is to get you writing, starting and finishing tracks.
Most musicians struggle with finishing even just a couple of songs over a few months - but with this challenge, you’ll develop the habit of regularly making music.
Plus, there are some sweet prizes if you win!
And if you stick with these challenges for a year, you’ve got an entire album’s worth of songs.
So How Much Does Beat Academy Cost?
Let’s face it: while so much information on music is free today, to learn from someone who’s got experience and who’s inside music industry is usually expensive.
It can cost tens of thousands of dollars to go to music college or audio school, and you’d have to take time off work or college to do so.
And if you wanted to get mentored by a Grammy-nominated producer…
Usually, you’d have to be in a studio winding up cables and going on coffee runs several times a day.
But, music is often a side gig for most aspiring artists and producers out there - they’re usually juggling work or university while making music in their free time.
And that’s why I created Beat Academy: it’s an online community that can be accessed from all over the world, and you don’t even need to leave your bedroom to join it!
To join Beat Academy, it’s just $60/year for an Annual Membership, which works out to literally $5 a month.
If you want to give your music the mentorship, community and guidance it needs to succeed - that’s well within anyone’s budget.
And you can try out Beat Academy completely free today
I’d like to put my best foot forward, and let you try out Beat Academy with your first month completely FREE.
