About Free IAA: Independent Artists

Members get a free course of step-by-step lessons, weekly calls for questions and feedback, and ready-to-use checklists, scripts and other resources.[1] The group also offers bonuses and members-only perks, and a space to connect with other musicians.[1]

Music Funding runs a free webinar led by Tyson on a funding system for paying for ads, studio time, videos and releases.[3] Its topics include building a label infrastructure of marketing, distribution and team, and running a music career like a business.[3] As of September 2026, Music Funding advertised a $4,000 Rich Musician Scholarship.[2] A 2023 Music Funding offer page sells access to private rooms in an otherwise free Discord community, along with live trainings from Tyson and music industry experts.[4] The offer also covers strategies for a first major record deal and markets a credit-repair library of courses and letter templates.[4] Its Zoom calls are recorded, with replays on Discord.[4]

As of September 2026, that page priced community access at $1 a day and stated a refund policy of up to 60 days.[4] Its terms state that Music Funding is not liable to buyers for their results from its products and services.[4]
