No one becomes a professional musician for the money. It’s a labor of love. But we all have responsibilities: mortgages to pay, families to feed, and important goals like financial security and retirement. I’m a trombonist who has been a Financial Planner since 2004. Over that time, I’ve worked with hundreds of families, including quite a few of my fellow musicians. And what I have discovered is that while there are a lot of musicians who could use sound financial advice, there are almost no advisors who understand anything about the life of a musician. That’s why I created Finance For Musicians.
My goal is to help musicians achieve peace of mind regarding all their financial affairs. Finance For Musicians is your source for useful, objective information on saving, investing, insurance, taxes, and retirement planning. Being a musician isn’t a 9-5 job and you have unique financial concerns that are vastly different from people in traditional careers. All the information here is written specifically for professional musicians like you. I’ll be posting new articles weekly and encourage you to sign up so you don’t miss any valuable ideas.
Have a financial question? Send me a note or give me a call, I’m always happy to chat with a fellow musician. If you are looking for personal financial advice, you can find out more about hiring me as your Financial Planner here.
