From the industry

Voices that know him.

Music Director

"Daboo hears what's underneath the song before the singer even finds it."

Playback Singer

"He gave me my first break when nobody else would listen. Twenty years later he still does that for new voices."

Lyricist

"There's a generosity to how he works. He makes the room better just by being in it."

Producer

"Magic With Music is the most generous thing anyone in this industry has ever built. And he's done it quietly."

What he believes

Three things he keeps saying.

The room runs on these three lines. You'll hear them in every workshop, every jam, every late-night thread.

01

Talent is real

And it doesn't always come with a degree, a connection, or a confident voice. Sometimes it's just a hum that won't leave you alone.

02

Hard work matters

The room is open to everyone. Who stays in it, who shows up week after week — that's what separates a moment from a life.

03

Magic is collaborative

Great songs are never made alone. The voice needs the lyric. The lyric needs the melody. You need the rest of us.

In his words

Why I opened the room.

I never went to a conservatory. I'm not formally trained. What I had was an ear, a love for the work, and the patience to recognise something real when I heard it.

I've spent my life listening to people make music — strangers in studios, friends at three in the morning trying to finish a verse. The best sound I've ever heard came from people nobody had heard yet.

"Magic doesn't happen alone. It happens when the right people are in the right room — and somebody puts on a track."

So I built Magic With Music. Not as a school — I'm not the man for that. As a room. A place where doctors, founders, lawyers, designers, and the rest of us can find each other, jam, learn, and get better at the thing we already can't stop doing.

Some of you will write songs that change someone's day. Some will play with more honesty than anyone trained could. Some will just come, listen, and feel less alone in your obsession. All of that is enough.

What Daboo does at Music with Magic

The room only works because he's in it.

Four roles, every week. Why members feel the difference the moment they show up.

01

He curates the room

Curated Jam Nights are matched by Daboo personally — the right 6 to 8 members in a room together. He listens, watches, decides. The vibe lands in five minutes because of who's in the room.

02

He hosts the workshops

Songwriting, melody, voice, lyric — the workshops Daboo runs are 90 minutes of him doing what he's done his whole life: listening, encouraging, finding the verse you didn't know was in you.

03

He brings the industry in

Masterclass Conversations are intimate Zoom rooms with composers, lyricists, and playback singers from his network. The kind of access that doesn't exist elsewhere — capped at 30, members only.

04

He holds the standard

Quality is high because Daboo's ear is high. Every member, every workshop, every release — passes through him. Not a gatekeeper. A keeper of taste.

Daboo doesn't teach you music. He invites you to it.

What people say about Daboo.

The first thing he said in my workshop was, "you don't have to be good. you have to be honest." I haven't stopped writing since.

Questions members ask

About Daboo, answered.

Is Daboo really at every workshop and jam?

Most of them. He hosts every Curated Jam Night personally and a majority of workshops. When he's away, his trusted friends from the industry host — never strangers, never outsourced.

Do I need musical training to be in his room?

No. Most of his favourite members aren't trained. Daboo himself isn't. What he looks for is honesty and the willingness to keep showing up.

Will he listen to my work if I send it?

Yes. He listens to everything members drop in the Discord. He doesn't always reply publicly — but the ones that move him get a personal note, and sometimes more.

How do I get into a Curated Jam Night?

You apply. Members fill out a short form about what you make and what you're looking for. Daboo matches the rooms personally. Some get in fast, some wait for the right room.

Does Inner Circle really get a 1:1 with Daboo?

Yes. Quarterly, 60 minutes, on Zoom. Limited to 50 members a year so each conversation is unhurried. Apply through the membership page.
