The story behind PIVODIO
Jayme H. - Founder & CEO

Growing up, I had one dream and one dream only: to become a rockstar. I moved to the States to study music, but I soon faced the ultimate decision that many artists face: helping my family financially or pursuing my own dreams. I chose my family, gave up my dream altogether, and sadly (but luckily), I built a successful career for over twenty years. But deep down, I always wondered whose dream I was working for.
One day, fate intervened. I got the chance to perform in front of an audience again, and I felt my passion for music come flooding back. I started singing again, wrote a song, and released it on Spotify. But the reality was that I couldn't sustain being a full-time musician because of the low income. Despite music being a $60 billion industry, most musicians struggle to make ends meet, which I found grossly unfair.
I gave up what I loved because of the need to make money once. I didn't want to give it up again, so I decided to work on it in my free time. To get better, I realized I needed guidance, but I found that amateur artists like me don't have any place to find quick advice or easy access to an industry expert.
And just like that, I found my true calling.
That's how PIVODIO came to life – a platform that provides highly-personalized coaching to every artist around the world. And through PIVODIO, experts can monetize their talent by helping other artists continue their dreams. We are the only platform in the world genuinely looking out for both emerging artists and seasoned professionals.
PIVODIO exists for two reasons: 1) to provide artists with actionable coaching and 2) to make a six-figure income an industry standard for artists. We want to make a world where anyone can pursue their dreams, regardless of circumstances.
Does that strike a chord in you? If so, come join our team in this artist's journey.
