*Experts set their own rates for resources and consulting. Prices are clearly listed on their profiles, visible before purchase. All prices stated are before tax (if VAT applicable).
From the top independent promoter in Turkey to one of the UK’s hottest A&R managers and everything in-between, our Experts know the ins and outs of their local music industries. They’re leaders in their sub-sectors, passionate about what they do, and love sharing their knowledge with those looking to break into their market.
Our Experts are also all verified. They’ve all been individually invited or approved to join our platform. If we haven’t worked with them personally, we only approve applications buoyed by recommendations from at least 3 of their peers.
There’s no fee to be a Lighthouse Expert. We take a commission on the online courses and consulting sessions offered on our platform, so we only make money when our Experts do.

Lighthouse’s keeper is Compass Music, an international music consultancy with a conscience. At the helm, Géraldine Zanaska brings a decade of industry experience and an ambition for making the music industry more inclusive, equitable, and environmentally responsible.
These values are our magnetic north. We believe in and actively work to ensure:
Gender Parity & Diversity. Our roster of Lighthouse Experts is gender-balanced and both reflects and champions the world’s diversity.
Fair & Prompt Pay. We think everyone should be compensated fairly for their work. We also know firsthand how rough the waters can be for business owners and freelancers.
A Minimal Impact on the Environment. We love to travel, but we don’t love unnecessary or inefficient business trips which are far from eco-friendly. Learn everything you need to know about a market online with virtual presentations and consulting sessions so you can minimise your footprint and make the most of your time on site.
