    Brodie O’Halloran - Magdalia

  • "My experience in The Release Academy has been so crucial to the choices I've made over the last few months. I have achieved so much with my release by setting attainable goals and expectations. Jena's industry knowledge and advice has given me confidence in my decision making and has ensured I am staying consistent and on track."

    Gabby Crump - Dear Matilda

  • "The Release Academy has helped me so much throughout the process of releasing my debut EP. Knowing someone is right beside you backing you 100% is such a big motivator. I have levelled up in my social media content, I have learnt how to correctly pitch to radio and even scored interviews! I could never have done this by myself without the Release Academy."

    Monica Casaceli - Elorah

  • “The Release Academy is incredible. In just two weeks, our debut single has reached over 20,000 streams in 134 countries. Jena has been so resourceful and insightful and it has been nice to have someone keep us on track for a successful release. 10 out of 10 in my eyes.”

    Connor and Oscar Absolum, Mister Co.

  • "The Release Academy has been instrumental in my journey as an artist. I've learned not only how to release music but I've also learnt a lot about myself. Releasing music can get overwhelming and when I began the Academy, I was burnt out. However, Jena rekindled my motivation and reminded me why I love what I do. The best thing about the Academy is that someone is in your corner cheering you on."

    Kaylah Thomas

    Natalie Green - Ambrose

  • "Thank you to Jena at The Release Academy for mentoring me through each step of this release. I couldn't have done it without you!"

    Laura Ellen

  • "My dream is coming true! I just uploaded my album to Noisehive. Thank you for your support in helping me share this to the world.

    Wizardom - Giuliano Avedikian

  • "Since joining The Release Academy, my engagement has more than doubled and my reach has increased over 500% = more people listening to my music. I’m also learning valuable skills that will better equip me to succeed on my future releases. So, if you want value for money, I highly recommend the Release Academy program – and to top it all off, Jena is an absolute joy to work with."
