About Heaven Bound Music Marketing
Why We Started Heaven Bound Music Marketing
Hey, we’re Kendrick and Kolbe, and we founded Heaven Bound Music Marketing. We both began as passionate musicians with a shared vision—not just to create music, but to build sustainable careers on our own terms. This vision led us to create Heaven Bound Music Marketing, where we now empower other artists to take control of their own music journeys and thrive in the industry.
The Turning Point
We realized that if we wanted real success in the music industry, we had to take our careers into our own hands. After feeling stuck and unsupported by traditional routes, and hitting several dead-ends with other marketing agencies, we knew relying on others wasn’t the answer. That pivotal moment pushed us to take control, and it became clear that carving our own path was the only way to truly thrive in the industry.
Taking Control
We were determined to take control of our careers. After countless setbacks, we knew that relying on traditional methods wasn’t the answer. So, we took matters into our own hands. We spent over $100,000—along with hundreds of hours—testing, learning, and refining what strategies worked and what didn’t. We experimented with every approach to promote our music independently, enduring trials and tribulations every step of the way.
Through all the challenges, that investment of time, effort, and resources started to pay off. Our tracks began gaining real traction, and we realized we had cracked the code. Not only were we able to elevate our own careers, but we also began helping other artists reach the next level with the same strategies that had transformed our journey. It became clear that taking control was the key to thriving in this ever-evolving industry.
A Mission Born from Struggle
Facing these challenges head-on, we discovered the true power of independence in an industry that can often feel overwhelming and unforgiving. We realized that, with the right strategies in place, artists can thrive outside of traditional systems and create their own success.
Helping Others Succeed
Now, we are on a mission to guide and empower other artists to take control of their own careers. Our blueprint isn’t just about sharing our journey—it’s a structured, proven strategy designed to help you succeed as an independent artist. We’ve seen firsthand how this approach transformed not only our path but the careers of many others as well.
Kendrick
- Kendrick Henson’s Journey: Kendrick Henson is a seasoned hip hop/rap artist with millions of streams and over five years in the music industry. After navigating costly setbacks and ineffective strategies, Kendrick cracked the code to success and now uses that expertise to help other artists sidestep common pitfalls. His passion for empowering independent artists drives the mission of Heaven Bound, providing a roadmap for others to achieve their own success in the competitive music world.
- Kendrick’s Marketing Journey: Kendrick’s passion for music marketing grew from his own frustrations with ineffective strategies and unreliable marketing agencies. After years of struggling to find the right approach to grow his fan base and increase streams, Kendrick decided to take control. He spent countless hours learning what actually worked in digital marketing, particularly for independent artists like himself. Through trial and error, Kendrick developed a strategy that not only worked for his own career but could be applied to help other artists. Now, with Heaven Bound Music Marketing, Kendrick helps artists grow beyond just streaming success, providing them with the tools to build sustainable and impactful careers in the music industry.
Kolbe
- Kolbe Ballard’s Journey: Kolbe’s passion for music began at the age of 12 with composing piano pieces, which quickly expanded into a passion for production. Discovering digital audio workstations (DAWs), Kolbe initially produced EDM before transitioning to creating hip-hop beats for rappers on SoundCloud. Soon he began to embrace the artist role. He spent a summer in high school releasing a song every Monday for his growing following. Two years ago, he took his music to all platforms, and last year, he made the shift from hip-hop to more pop/folk-inspired sounds, focusing on creating music with more authenticity. Currently, Kolbe is enjoying the creative process as an artist while developing new strategies to connect with a broader audience.
- Kolbe’s Marketing Journey:
Kolbe’s passion for music marketing grew out of frustration with the numerous dead-ends he encountered while working with other playlisting companies and marketing agencies. After gaining valuable insights from mentors like Andrew Southworth (Genera Studios), John Gold (Hypeddit), and Jon Anderson (TwoStory), Kolbe developed a deep appreciation for marketing and began seeing organic success with his own music. About a year ago, he started helping other independent artists achieve their marketing goals. Now, with Heaven Bound, Kolbe aims to elevate this success, offering not just Spotify growth, but a comprehensive system designed to help artists thrive in the music industry.
