"No shortcuts, no generic advice — just honest, experience-backed guidance tailored to where you are in your career."

Hi, I'm Paul, founder of Albatross Music.Since 2021, I've been helping independent artists gain visibility through thoughtful playlist curation while building meaningful relationships across the independent music industry.After reviewing more than 4,000 tracks—and with over 300 new submissions arriving every month—I've learned that great music rarely struggles because of the music alone. More often, artists are held back by unclear positioning, scattered priorities, or a lack of long-term strategy.That realization led me to expand Albatross Music beyond playlist curation. Today, alongside reviewing music and curating playlists, I work with independent artists through one-to-one Artist Strategy Sessions, helping them identify their biggest opportunities, overcome their main challenges, and make better career decisions.Whether we connect through a playlist submission, a strategy session, or an introduction within my network, my goal is always the same: to offer honest feedback, meaningful connections, and thoughtful guidance that supports your project for the long term.
