Finding The Music Inside Consultancy
The 7 Pillars
Discovering your true artistic potential, one step at a time.
At its core, Finding the Music Inside blends the discipline of sports performance coaching with the heart and soul of artistry. It’s all about helping you stay grounded, resilient, and authentic—so you can express your unique voice in the best way possible. Here’s how it works, in a way that’s easy to connect with:
1. Mindfulness and Presence
Ever get nervous before a big show or recording session? That’s totally normal! Mindfulness techniques—like deep breathing, meditation, or even simple visualization—can help you stay calm and focused. These tools aren’t just for the stage; they help you stay present in your creative process too, making your artistry intentional and consistent.
2. Self-Awareness and Artistic Identity
Who are you as an artist? What makes your music yours? Digging into your personal story, values, and strengths helps you understand your unique identity. When your music reflects your true self, you connect more deeply with your audience—and build confidence that’s hard to shake.
3. Collaboration and Team Cohesion
If you’re part of a band or collaborative project, you know how important it is to get along and work together. Just like a sports team, every member needs to feel valued and aligned with the same creative vision. Open communication and trust are key. When everyone’s on the same page, magic happens!
4. Trusting the Creative Journey
The creative path isn’t always smooth—it’s filled with ups and downs. Instead of fearing setbacks, see them as opportunities to grow. It’s not just about quick wins; it’s about long-term development. Patience and resilience will carry you through the tough times and help you thrive in the industry.
5. Emotions as Creative Fuel
Ever feel overwhelmed by stress or anxiety—or on top of the world with joy? Your emotions are powerful fuel for your art. Learn to channel those feelings into your music. With a bit of emotional regulation and some creative exercises, you can turn raw emotion into something beautiful and compelling.
6. Holistic Growth and Well-being
Your music career is important, but so is your mental health and well-being. Balance is everything. Taking care of yourself and practicing self-care isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. When you’re healthy and balanced, your creativity flows, and your success feels more meaningful.
7. Inspired by Spirituality and Philosophy
Sometimes, we all need a little inspiration from something deeper. Whether it’s spiritual practices, philosophical ideas, or creative concepts, exploring these areas can deepen your connection to your craft. Find what resonates with you and let it fuel your passion.
Why This Works
Finding the Music Inside isn’t just about hitting goals or making hits—it’s about uncovering the true music that lives within you. By combining the resilience of sports coaching with the emotional depth of artistry, this philosophy helps you grow from the inside out. It’s a journey of self-discovery, emotional strength, and authentic expression.

Mobo Agoro – Forij Talent Management Agency – “My sessions with Basil came at the absolute best time. Having spent the last few months learning & actioning – but also getting to a point near burn out – having Basil as a coach has shifted my mindset in so many different ways. Having an outside perspective disconnected to Scotland who is invested in me rather than my acts is breath of fresh air. I often pour a lot into other people’s cups & having an hour with Basil where I can slow -down and reflect and be poured into has been the boost & backwind needed to step with my head high. The coaching sessions are something I look-forward to and are definitely something I want to continue over the long term as I’m seeing the effect it has had on not only how interact with potential partners but also feed into how I manage stress and that of the acts & colleagues I work with.”
