On this week’s podcast episode, I’m joined by John von Seggern, the visionary behind Futureproof Music School—a next-generation program that blends personalized mentorship with AI-driven music production tools.
Unlike traditional schools, Futureproof is designed to meet the needs of today’s independent artists.
John brings over 30 years of experience as a studio musician, producer, and sound designer, including collaborations with electronic music pioneer Jon Hassell, extensive international touring, and contributions to major films such as Pixar’s Oscar-winning WALL·E.
Before launching Futureproof, John led online education programs at Dubspot and Icon Collective, where he saw firsthand how outdated models failed to keep pace with modern music creation.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How AI is transforming music education
- The balance of online vs in-person learning for musicians
- Blockchain technology and the future of student credentials
- Lessons from blending traditional and electronic music
- John’s journey from performer to educator and entrepreneur
If you’re curious about the future of music education, AI in creative learning, or simply want insights from a veteran producer, this episode is for you.
