During that time, he's metored many other successful artists. Each on their own terms. One thing he always says is this: Being entrepeneurial in your approach is exactly how you enjoy creative freedom. But how do you do this withou sacrifcing your own moral compass and personal prerogatives around the music you want and need to create? This 3-hour session will give you direct in-person access to Phil for questions and dialogue. Bring your concerns to Phil and the group. Find creative ways to navigate a career in one of the most essential and purpose-driven jobs in the world; creating music. And do it entirely on your own terms. Phil has coached every kind of musician. Last year, a classical guitarist and composer he coached, played Carnegie Hall without sacrificing time with his family and a career in Computer Science. Another of Phil's students performed at the DNC and DJ's on lcoal radio. She has always created the kinds of mixes tht she enjoys. The unique stories of Phil Circle's students over 30 years are numerous. Partly, because each one's unique needs and desires were addressed. Phil has never compromised. He'd never ask anyone else to. Compromise doesn't make great art. From wherever you're starting, let's make your career better. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/chicago/indie-music-building-a-career-on-your-own-terms/100001998796604450 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Music, Entertainment, Art, science-fair - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Chicago - **state**: IL - **country**: United States - **location**: 1579 N Milwaukee Ave #344 - **lat**: 41.9102537 - **long**: -87.6766875 - **full address**: 1579 N Milwaukee Ave #344, 1579 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Indie Music (Building a Career on Your Own Terms) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/87e4cc5876ebc91794276fa5774e16b49c3eab6f5bf4a7f8262393d95d1ee6cb-rimg-w1200-h600-dc385858-gmir.jpg?v=1787696167 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Indie Music (Building a Career on Your Own Terms) being held? - **A:** Indie Music (Building a Career on Your Own Terms) takes place on Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at 1579 N Milwaukee Ave #344, 1579 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Indie Music (Building a Career on Your Own Terms)? - **A:** Indie Music (Building a Career on Your Own Terms) is organized by Phil Circle Music Chicago. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
