Welcome to the Luxury Musician, the world’s #1 music business development program for private event musicians.

We have worked with over 200 musicians to help them double, triple, or even 10X their rates and revenue.

Our mentors include some of the most successful private event musicians in the world, including Ron Kao (Virtuous Violinist), Kostia Lucky (Miami’s #1 luxury violinist), Fabian Chavez (saxophonist for the Jonas Brothers), Jake Sax (viral TikTok superstar), and LXM founder Dan Goode (the world’s most followed wedding saxophonist and DJ).

The Luxury Musician has hundreds of wins and testimonials unmatched in the industry; we have helped musicians go from $200 bar gigs to booking corporate events for $10k+, our clients have hit $30K+ months, and the Luxury Musician community are consistently booking the luxury high paying events of their dreams.

We help musicians earn exponentially more through luxury branding, high-quality content creation, cutting-edge marketing strategies, and proprietary systems like the Luxury Branded Ads Strategy and our Event Planner Outreach System.

Here are some examples of client transformations- 

- Bobby went from performing $200 bar gigs to booking a luxury corporate event for $11.5k and a solo wedding performance for $7.5k 🎸
- Before Joining LXM Pro, Chad was performing for $300 per event, and now is closing $4,000 in one day 🎷
- Paul went from being completely reliant on agencies, making $5-10k/mo, to booking gigs direct to client and hit $16.3k cash collected in January using the Luxury Branded Ads strategy 📈
- For 10 years, Mikhail was charging $300 per residency. Inside LXM Pro, he recently booked $15k in events in just 2 weeks and has booked events as high as $5k+ 🎹
- Christian was averaging $3-4k/per month before joining LXM Pro; in his first month inside Pro he made $8.9k and recently made $12k in one month 🎻
- ⁠Khalil went from doing $10k/mo to $32k and $34k cash collected in Jan and Feb 2026 🎷🙌

If you’re tired of being underpaid and undervalued, and ready to finally start commanding the rates you truly deserve, comment the word ‘LUXURY’ and we will personally reach out to see if it’s a good fit. by @dangoode

Thanks @boldjourneymag for the feature 🙌🏻

Check it out here 👉🏻 bit.ly/meetdangoode

It was a pleasure to discuss the importance of having a purpose and how your purpose grows and evolves through the course of your life & career. 

We also discussed 3 qualities that are most important to develop if you want to be successful in the music industry. 

1. Focus on your STRENGTHS: don't try and fit into someone else's plan for your life, choose the "safe" route, or do what's "cool". Do something you are genuinely good at and you love. Your worst day doing something you love beats your best day doing something you hate. 

2. MARKETING is everything: the best KNOWN beats the BEST. Talent is wasted if no one knows who you are. 

3. Never stop LEARNING: if you want to be successful, study success. If you want to be wealthy, study wealth. If you want to achieve your dreams, find someone who's day to day reality is your dream life.

@stephanstrings went from making $20k in 2025 to making $20k+ in ONE MONTH inside #theluxurymusicianpro 🎻🙌🏻🙌🏻

“Dan and The Luxury Musician offer something different. It really is more than just a program. It’s a community. All the sessions, you can really dive into the intricacies, from the ins and outs of booking, your marketing, your branding.

And to just speak on behalf of Dan, I had a big medical event right when I started this program, and Dan was sending me messages, praying for me, and being flexible with me.

All the successes that I’ve seen within this program just in short time frames; I definitely recommend it wholeheartedly, and definitely recommend these retreats, soaking up all the wisdom from this program and from all the performers and from Dan, of course.

Just wanted to share that with you all. Thanks so much.”

Most musicians have no idea there’s a whole other world of luxury event musicians out there 👀

These pros are charging multiple THOUSANDS per event 💸 while most stay stuck making low hundreds per gig.

And it’s not about talent.

Some of the highest-paid musicians out there are less talented and less trained than you. They just present themselves better. Better branding, better positioning, better marketing — so clients perceive them as worth more, and pay it 📈

You don’t need more talent. You need to be positioned as the luxury option.

That’s the whole game. And most musicians spend YEARS- sometimes a whole career- never figuring it out.

Inside The Luxury Musician, musicians are making $10k–$30k+ per month. 🚀 

Our client wins  speak for themselves. Check my story highlights 🙌🏻

5 countries. 14 cities. One incredible year. 

2025 has been a season of growth, healing, and transformation- not just for myself, but for all of the amazing musicians I’ve worked with at @theluxurymusician. 

Ending 2024 with a health scare, 2025 started with stepping back from the old version of myself and stepping into a new identity. 

Making a 10X jump requires letting go of 80% of what you’ve been used to doing so you can focus on the most important 20%.

For me that meant taking a break from performing (which I’d been doing full time for 11 years) and going all in on helping other musicians make an exponential leap in their music careers.

The shift from building my own business to helping other musicians build their own has been immensely rewarding. 

There’s no better feeling than hearing those 4 words… “You’ve changed my life.”

Thanks to each and every one of my clients and mentors within @theluxurymusician for making this year amazing. 

And my beautiful wife @juliagoodeofficial of course ❤️

How @bobbycrawfordmusic went from $300 bar gigs to booking $5K-$10K+ private events… 👀

🎸 Meet Bobby.

Before joining Luxury Musician Pro, Bobby was stuck in the same cycle most musicians never escape:

• Undercharging
• Playing low-paying gigs
• Relying on inconsistent bookings
• Wondering why “working harder” still wasn’t leading to real growth

At the time, Bobby’s typical bar gigs were paying $200-300.

His BEST private events were around $650.

Then he made a decision that changed everything.

He invested in himself.

He started taking branding, marketing, content creation, and positioning SERIOUSLY.

Instead of trying to compete on price, he started building a luxury brand that attracted higher-end clients.

And the results started stacking FAST 📈

🔥 $15.7k in 4 weeks
🔥 Increased average rates from $650 to $1.5k
🔥 Booked a $2.5k wedding
🔥 Hit $20k in 2 weeks
🔥 Collected $14.5k in 1 week
🔥 Booked an $11.5k corporate event

Now Bobby is on track for a multi-6 figure year and mentoring other musicians inside LXM Pro.

This is what happens when talented musicians finally learn the BUSINESS side of the music industry.

If you’re tired of being underpaid and want to learn directly from Bobby and our other mentors…

Comment the word “BOBBY” below and we’ll DM you more info 🙌🏻

@alexcharlesevents “The Luxury Musician program has really given me a roadmap as far as how to shoot better content, present myself better, sales and marketing myself to those higher echelon clients. It’s been an amazing experience working with @dangoode as well as the incredible community of very successful event entrepreneurs. Very optimistic and excited. I can’t wait to see what’s next. And lots of amazing content on the horizon from yours truly and my fellow luxury musicians.”

Before joining @theluxurymusician , Alex was struggling to consistently land high end private event clients 🎤🎷 

Now he’s crushing $10k+ months and even booked $13k worth of gigs from just TWO clients in a 24h period 💥

Comment “ALEX” and we’ll DM you a free training on how YOU can start landing high paying private event gigs ASAP 🚀

Comment “VIRTUOUS” to watch the full episode 🎥

Is it possible to have 3 kids, a full time day job and STILL have the time to build a 6 figure music business? 

🎻 Meet Ron Kao @virtuousviolinist - a wedding & private events musician who went from backyard events during the pandemic to building a six-figure music business in under 4 years, all while juggling 3 kids, a demanding tech job, and building a personal brand that places him in the top 0.1% of performing musicians.

In this episode, Ron reveals:

• The exact mindset shift that took him from backyard parties to $4K weddings

• Why you don’t need “perfect conditions” to grow—just discipline and systems
• The real reason your content isn’t attracting high-paying clients
• Why most musicians stay broke (and how to make sure you don't)

And so much more… 

“People say they don’t have time. But if you can scroll on tik Tok, you can respond to a lead. You just don’t want it bad enough.”

If you're tired of $300 gigs and making excuses about why you can’t earn more in the music industry, this episode will be a wake up call for you. 

I’d love to hear your thoughts after watching this episode, comment below what you think 🙌🏻

Sell to the RICH 💸💸💸

Here’s why:

Most musicians think the answer to getting more bookings is lowering their price.
But that’s a race to the bottom.

The clients who pay the least often demand the most, respect you the least, and are never satisfied.

Meanwhile, the clients who pay the most 
value you WAY more. They trust you because they’ve invested a lot into your services. 

And they’ll pay 5–10x more without blinking if you position yourself right.

Stop trying to be all things to all people. Build a luxury brand and start selling to the rich.

If you’re ready to attract luxury clients who pay what you’re really worth, comment “Value” below or DM me “Luxury” and let’s connect 🙌🏻🙌🏻

DON'T make this mistake if you want to be successful in the music business ❌

I spent YEARS of my life trying to figure everything out on my own... 

And eventually I reached a point where I was burning out. 

I was doing back to back gigs for pay that was less than what I was worth and clients who didn’t appreciate my time or talent. 

My health was going downhill and I was plagued with stress and anxiety from constant late nights and always being on the road.

I didn't have anyone to show me that there was a better way. 

When I finally decided to invest in MYSELF and find a mentor who had already achieved the results I wanted....

My growth EXPLODED. I made triple my investment in the first month. And my business grew EXPONENTIALLY from there. 

Before that, I had invested TENS OF THOUSANDS into equipment and gear that I thought would make me a ton more money, but ended up barely making a difference. 

It wasn't the gear I was missing. 

It was a clear strategy for success and the BELIEF IN MYSELF that I was worth more. 

Once I implemented the new strategies I learned, I realized what was ACTUALLY POSSIBLE.

To be honest, it blew my mind. 

I had so many limiting beliefs before that I didn't even realize were holding me back from doing the things that would create more success. 

I began TRULY valuing my time and talent and creating the space in my life to do the highest leverage tasks that would actually push the needle forward every day.

If you want to be successful in the music business... 

Find someone who's charging rates higher than you ever thought possible. 

Someone who has the time to focus on their health and provide for their family. 

Someone who's EVERYDAY life is your DREAM life.

“People in MY area would NEVER pay that much...” 🤔

If you’ve ever said this, read on 👇🏻

One of the BIGGEST lies musicians tell themselves is that their location is the reason they’re not making more money.
But here’s the truth:

🎯 It’s not your town.
🎯 It’s not your city.
🎯 It’s not your state.

Sometimes it’s your talent- but most often, it actually boils down to your BRANDING and  MARKETING. 

You’re just not getting the right (qualified) leads at a high enough volume. 

Because not enough of the RIGHT people know about you. 

My clients are crushing it in states like Ohio, Oklahoma and the Carolinas. 

You don’t need to move. You don’t need to live in LA, Miami, or NYC.

You just need to become more VALUABLE to your prospects.

Stop blaming your location.

Start leveling up your BUSINESS GAME.
