What People Say
I was very satisfied with my meeting with Ran Nir. He is a true professional with extensive and thorough knowledge of the various types of royalties, and he also has a great ability to make complex or dry topics accessible and easy to understand. I believe that understanding the world of royalties and intellectual property is crucial for the modern musician — both to ensure that the money we're entitled to as creators actually reaches us, and to know which terms are important to insist on in future works and when dealing with various organizations. These days, any artist can also become a small record label, and a meeting with Ran is a great first step on that path.
- Roy Doron (Producer/Bass player)
Attending Ran Nir's "Introduction to the Music Business" workshop in 2023 at Music Pool Berlin was an eye-opening experience. Ran's wealth of experience was evident throughout the sessions, which were designed to be interactive and highly informative. His knack for demystifying complex industry topics made the material approachable and engaging for participants at any stage of their careers. The workshop not only equipped attendees with vital knowledge but also with practical tools to thrive in the music business. Ran's classes are a great opportunity to be guided towards achieving sustainable success in your career.
- Melina Hess (Artist)
Ran Nir is the man you should ask if you just want to know for sure. I attended his Music Business Workshop and these few hours brought a lot more clarity to the chaos in my head. He is very clear and organized, direct and structured. You can see his wealth of experience. An important factor for me was: Ran is not boring at all.
- Christian Ogrinz (Composer / Producer)
Ran is a great teacher and has the gift to guide you through the dryer matter of the legal structures and agendas of music business/industry. His big-time experience and patience impressed me during one of his semi-week-workshops held in Berlin. Being a great musician, educator and mentor you can definitely learn a lot from him - 5/5.
- Deniz Czesch (Musician)
I attended Ran's 'Introduction to the Music Business' last year, and it fundamentally shaped my understanding of the music industry as a living, breathing, eternally changing behemoth. That workshop influenced every step I've since taken to advance my career.
