Check out some of our student stories and testimonials below:
"...my first online course launch wouldn't have been the same without him. That course sold over $14,000 in the first couple weeks."
"With his online business experience and achievements, Björgvin has been a real model to follow. The content he provides is phenomenal and helps me a lot by giving me ideas and direction on how to organize, monetize and implement my online platform as an artist and entrepreneur. He helped me tweak the sales page copy for my first online course launch I did via email and it wouldn't have been the same without him. That course sold over $14,000 in the first couple weeks."
-Chris Selim, Creator of Mixdown Online and The Ultimate Guide to Cubase. Montreal, Canada
"tens of thousands of dollars in extra business just from random people that had forgotten about me. It was weird how it instantly worked!"
"Like most audio engineers, I tend to be a little more audio-nerd than entrepreneur. Because of this, I frequently have "small business blind spots" which Björgvin has helped me to see and overcome. When he speaks, I take notes. His advice on writing and email marketing has dramatically changed my business. I don’t think anyone has anywhere near as much experience as he does...You have had a huge impact on me learning how to write decent emails and the benefit to my business was just bananas. It was tens of thousands of dollars in extra business just from random people that had forgotten about me. It was weird how it instantly worked!"
-Chris Graham, Mastering Engineer and Co-Host of the Six Figure Creative Podcast. Columbus, Ohio
Alex Joyal - From Starting and Stopping to Consistent Income
Lij Shaw - Diversifying Your Income Streams With Online Products
“When I needed to get my first online drum recording course launched, Bjorgvin showed me exactly how to craft a sales page and email campaign that perfectly paired my real-world studio stories and knowledge with the benefits the course offered my students. He took the mystery out of marketing by telling me how many emails to send, what to include, and when to send them. That email campaign still sells to this day and Bjorgvin’s coaching has brought in an additional $25k+ in course revenue for my business! When I need a great plan or just killer inspiration, I’m glad I’ve got Bjorgvin in my corner to help boost my business to the next level.” -Lij Shaw, Grammy-Nominated Studio Owner of the Toybox Studio and Podcaster Behind Recording Studio Rockstars.
Eric L'Esperance - Musician Turned Pro Producer
When Eric first joined us in 2019, I was struck by the quality of songwriting and songcraft that he and his wife Ash display through their duo, Ash & Eric. He has shown a true commitment to his craft and has exhibited a great deal of growth in his developing career as a producer and recording engineer. When Eric joined, he wasn't sure about his skills but he didn't want to keep paying for expensive studio time because he wanted total control over his music. Since building his home studio, he has recorded and released songs for The Promise is Hope, Ash & Eric, as well as for other local musicians in the Worcester area, making a name for himself as Eric "The Harvester" L'Esperance over at Harvest Root Recording.
From the Soul-Crushing 9-5 to Full-Time Freedom
Tim has improved his mixing and mastering skills to the point of gaining considerable recognition for his work in alternative hip hop, LoFI and EDM and he managed to quit his day job of 35 years to start his own studio business, becoming a full-time mixing and mastering engineer. He works out of his studio at Woodlands Lane Mixing and Mastering.
From Fullsail University to Audio Issues
John was a touring musician before his band was dropped by their label. He went to Fullsail University to pursue his passion for audio production where his professors used my materials from Audio Issues to complement their teaching. He shared with me how the personal attention and coaching he got from us has helped level up his skills and enabled him to create a side income from his studio skills and now he offers high-quality recording and mixing for independent bands over at 3003 Sound.
Gina LaMonte - No Knowledge to Pro Records
Gina came to us when the world shut down during COVID and she had to learn how to record, mix, and release her music on her own. She didn't think she had the ear to do it herself but through our programs, she discovered how to take her music to the next level. Take a listen to her interview to hear why she thought investing in our materials was "without a doubt the best investment she made."
"Without your support, I would have never dared to publish songs."
"I’ve tried to follow all your advice and tips throughout the whole recording and mixing process. It was you who really encouraged me to make the final step and release songs at last. I’ve gained much more confidence in my audio skills by attending your courses, reading your books, and watching your videos. Thanks a lot!!!"
-Michael Schu, Home Studio Musician, Germany
"...how to define my customer archetype was very valuable."
"Learning from Björgvin how to define my customer archetype was very valuable. It allowed me to create a lead magnet that has increased my subscriber rate. Taking this course has also allowed me to set up an email funnel that allows me to learn more about the people subscribing. Which is super valuable to me and them. With these tools I’m now on the right course to be able to release a product in the future.”
-Niclas Jeppssen, Professional Audio Engineer and Podcaster Behind Your Audio Solutions, U.K.
Make an Impact With Your Music
Hi, I'm Björgvin Benediktsson, Icelander, Musician, Audio Engineer, and Founder of Audio Issues.

I'm originally from Iceland, but I've lived in the United States since 2009. I've worked as a live sound engineer, a broadcast recording engineer, a professional touring musician, and a freelance mixing and mastering engineer. Since 2009 I've been helping musicians and producers like you make a bigger impact with their music and career.
I've run my own profitable businesses for 10+ years and I serve as a venture advisor in the New Venture Development program at the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Arizona (the #9 public-ranked entrepreneurship program in the United States).
I have also been a coach and mentor to multiple businesses, both as a marketing strategist and a guest speaker for Phoenix Startup Week, SAE Insitute Madrid, and the TENWEST Impact Festival. My advice has been featured in publications such as MusicTech magazine, Startup Tucson, The Huffington Post, CD Baby's DIY Musician's Blog, Audiotuts, and the SAE Institute.
Currently, I help music, audio, and creative professionals level up their mixing and mastering skills, transform those skills into income, grow their online business with digital products, and systemize their marketing so that they can make a bigger impact with their music and audio careers.
Looking forward to helping you go pro and grow your music career!

Disclaimer: No Magic Pills Available

But what I can offer you instead is 15 years of experience in building a profitable business in the music industry that allows me the freedom to work on what I want when I want.
Lucky for you, the core mission behind my work is to teach musicians, producers, engineers, and other creative people like you music production skills to wow your clients and fans, the mindset that takes the sleaze out of marketing and selling, the success strategies that help you overcome your imposter syndrome, and the entrepreneurial principles you need to grow your business in today’s digital age.
