LEARN. APPLY. FLY.
FiXT, the artist-owned independent record label known for its DIY approach and artist-friendly infrastructure has announced the launch of the educational membership platform – FiXT Academy, available at www.fixtacademy.com.
Led by FiXT Co-Founder and President, James Rhodes, FiXT Academy was created after years of delivering in-depth educational webinars, workshops, and coaching services to FiXT’s internal label roster.
Now, FiXT is leveraging the company’s widespread experience – from billions of streams, thousands of Film/TV/Game Sync Placements and decades of industry relationships, to empower external musicians and producers with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration they need to elevate their careers. With a mission to educate, develop and inspire, FiXT Academy serves as a one-stop resource for those aiming to refine their craft, build sustainable careers, and connect with like-minded professionals in the music industry.
“I’m incredibly honored to get to share not only my knowledge and experience with aspiring artists but also provide them access to amazing guests and resources not available anywhere else. We’ve got an amazing line-up of Spring & Summer events from industry veterans like Ryan Shuck (Julien-K / Orgy), Dustin Boyer (Venture Music), Hisham Dahud (Artist Pro), Klayton (Celldweller / Scandroid) and more to be announced,” explains James Rhodes.
FiXT Academy’s membership tiers offer a content library of webinars and resource guides as well as monthly programming of live webinars, workshops and member-only calls and newsletters each month, along with interactive Q&A opportunities and community interaction in a private Discord server. FiXT Academy has also announced a monthly event it calls the Black Box Sessions, where a featured artist, producer or label shares a communal listening and discussion experience where you might hear demos, or unreleased tracks, as well as stories behind existing releases followed by an intimate Q&A session.
As part of FiXT Academy’s launch, James Rhodes will be delivering the member-only webinar Building Your Path To Industry Success, on May 8th at 6pm ET.
Whether an artist is just starting out or looking to refine their craft, FiXT Academy offers guidance from experts who understand the challenges and opportunities of today’s music business.

“Working with James and the FiXT team has been one of the absolute highlights of my career so far. James has a unique style of giving direction that’s both real and kind. He’ll tell you what you need to hear, but in a way that leaves you feeling motivated instead of down. That kind of support has been a huge part of helping me level up as an artist.
What I really admire about James and FiXT is that they actually live by the values they talk about. FiXT doesn’t just slap some nice-sounding principles on their website, they actually back them up in what they do. As an artist who has worked with 10+ different record labels in my career, I can say it’s rare to work with a team that aligns their actions with their ideals, and it makes the whole collaboration way more enjoyable and productive.
If you get the chance to work with James, take it! He’s one of the best in the business, and working with him and FiXT has made me a better artist and person.” – James Guttman (HIGHSOCIETY) Artist / Producer / DJ
“James is one of the best label executives I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His top-tier communication skills and approachable demeanor make every collaboration seamless. James is a person of unwavering integrity—someone who consistently delivers on their word, a rare quality in today’s world. Working with him is always a privilege and something I enjoy a lot.” – Joel Wanasek (Nail The Mix | Drumforge)
“Over my 18 years in the music industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with countless independent and major label executives, but I’ve never encountered anyone quite like James Rhodes. His passion, kindness, and relentless drive set him apart in every way. James’s dedication to FiXT and the artists he works with goes beyond the surface—he’s deeply invested in educating, empowering, and guiding artists to achieve lasting success. It’s rare to work with someone who genuinely cares about both the craft and the creator, and James embodies that rare blend of integrity and commitment.” – Michael Money (Beyond Unbroken) | Artist/Producer
