MEET YOUR COACH — JOEY DEAN

Joey is the creator and founder of Artist Alignment Academy. An independent artist and coach, Joey's years of successes, failures, and burnt carved a deep desire in him to mutate and metamorphose the status quo of the digital marketing landscape.

Joey's philosophy? A holistic approach to marketing in which musicians don't lose connection with their deeper truths and innate purpose as they navigate the near necessity of self-commoditization.

Joey integrates this philosophy into his music marketing course and coaching program Artist Alignment Academy in which he empowers independent artists to grab the reigns of their own success by systematizing his process of establishing an authentic foundation and streamlining it across digital marketing platforms.

OUR VALUES

ARTIST ALIGNMENT

We believe true creativity emerges when individuals align with their deepest sense of purpose. By helping others uncover and express their core mission, we ensure everything they create is deeply authentic, meaningful, and transformative.

COMMUNITY-DRIVEN IMPACT

We value connection over ego, focusing on how creativity can uplift and inspire others. Our work centers on fostering meaningful relationships and amplifying idiosyncratic voices that aim to create change, healing, and a sense of belonging within communities. We believe that the power of art lies in its ability to connect people, build shared experiences, and leave a lasting, positive impact on the world.

SIMPLISTIC SUSTAINABILITY

We are dedicated to transforming chaos into clarity through sustainable systems and processes that allow creativity and life to coexist harmoniously. Our systems are designed to minimize energy expenditure while achieving maximal results, creating space to balance pursuing music with other aspects of life. Sustainability is not just about managing tasks; it’s a long-term approach to navigating emotional reactivity, embracing balance, and finding steadiness through the inevitable highs and lows of creative life.

AMPLIFYING VOICES

We believe that the most ostracized and marginalized communities—those who have been historically silenced or denied space—carry the most transformative stories and creative potential. As a queer-founded company deeply rooted in the experiences of marginalized identities, we are committed to creating space where these voices are uplifted, celebrated, and empowered. By fostering belonging, respect, and representation, we amplify voices that challenge societal norms, inspire meaningful change, and ensure that no one is left unheard or unseen.

INNOVATION WITH INTENTION & EFFICIENCY

We are committed to being a transformative force by creating and inspiring approaches that are not only rooted in meaning and purpose but also challenge inefficiency and overwhelm. In a world inundated with options and distractions, we prioritize clear, actionable paths that empower individuals to stand out as one-of-a-kind. Our innovation is defined by its ability to simplify the complex, inspire efficiency, and foster uniqueness—whether in our program or the systems we build to support growth. By constantly questioning the status quo and seeking standout solutions, we aim to elevate our business, our clients, and the industry as a whole.

RESILIENCE & EMPOWERED GROWTH

We celebrate the courage to persevere through challenges and embrace every experience as valuable feedback. By fostering radical self-accountability and a growth mindset, we empower individuals to take control of their paths and transform obstacles into opportunities.

SPIRITUAL & COLLECTIVE CONNECTION

We honor the belief that creativity often stems from something greater than the individual. Whether it’s a connection to a spiritual source, emotional depth, or the collective energy of humanity, we recognize that art is a force for healing and transformation. By grounding our work in this transcendent sense of purpose, we also encourage a return to the raw, unfiltered energy of creative flow—reconnecting with the catharsis and freedom of creating without limits or burdens.

HOLISTIC EXCELLENCE

We value showing up with consistency, intention, and commitment to one’s craft while rejecting the notion that success requires relentless hustle, constant sacrifice, and burnout. True excellence is achieved through balance—working diligently and staying dedicated without compromising mental or physical well-being. By fostering self-care alongside responsibility, we empower individuals to thrive sustainably, pursuing their goals with mental clarity, emotional buoyancy, and energetic purpose.
