The wall of proof
Every track started as an idea and a blank project.
Each student tells their story — and shares the track that came out of it.
“I was able to finish a song in 4-5 weeks.” — Ben Hatem, banker by day, DJ by night (@callmeben.music produces in Studio One — you don't need Ableton or Logic Pro to join Musicpath Pro, any professional DAW works)
After years of teaching himself without any real structure, in his own words: “While it's designed for beginners, I think intermediate or advanced can benefit, as they could discuss with musicians and Rupak — so there is a lot of value.”
Before Musicpath Pro, Ben was self-taught: “I used to spend a lot of time tweaking parameters and losing so much time. But once you understand the basics, you can go much faster, deeper and be more efficient.”
Call Me Ben collabed with pro singer Dita Jacobs for afro house hit “Echoes in the Dust”.
Ben has since partnered with label Cafe-De-Anatolia for the release of “Echoes in the Dust”.
“There's so much support for all the questions that you have. You can ask any question that you want and the answer will be readily available to you.” — Jeano, actress, singer, comedian and content creator (@findingjeano produces in Ableton Lite — the 6-track cap became a creative challenge, not a limit)
Jeano describes herself as overly ambitious — the kind of creative who overthinks and complicates things. When she ended up on an Ableton Lite version capped at just 6 tracks, she was told to treat the limit as a challenge rather than a setback. It worked: the constraint turned out to be exactly what made the process fun and creative again.
She also found the bite-sized lesson structure made a real difference — one skill at a time, so nothing felt intimidating.
“Coming from a self-taught background, everything is all over the place. You don’t have a structure. From this course you start from really the foundation, learning organization skills, like making sure your files are really neat, which is not something I did before, and I still have work to improve on.” — Durin, freelance composer and sound designer (@durin_music produces in Logic Pro)
Durin had been teaching himself music production for years but kept hitting the same wall: no structure, no foundation, just constant searching for one-off fixes. Musicpath Pro gave him the fundamentals he’d been missing — including mixing, an area he says he “really lacked,” calling it “a level up” even in the things he thought he was already good at. He also found real value in the community: “it’s cool to have a community of people around you who you can nerd out with.” As he put it: “It covers everything you could possibly need, and even things that you didn’t think you needed.”
“Musically Rejuvenated Transit” captures the feel of nostalgic racing-game soundtracks, applied to Singapore’s public commute.
“I realized that I can create with what I have. I don’t have to know everything. I don’t have to have years of experience in order to earn the right to create or present my work. I can just do it. I don’t have to compare myself to others. I don’t have to wait to be ready. I don’t have to think about who I could have been if I started years earlier. I just do it and that’s really empowering.” — Ewa Szymanska, from an academic research and technology background (@szaman_ska produces in Ableton Intro — proof you don’t need a music degree to start)
Ewa signed up wanting to learn something completely from zero — to challenge herself in an area where she had no experience at all. It was hard work and frustration, but as she puts it, that’s exactly why she did it.
Fun fact — not from her original quote, but too good to leave out: part of Ewa’s concept was writing an alarm song, and it ended up being featured on Slumbr, a sleep app. From zero music experience to landing a track on an app that helps people wake up — a pretty poetic full-circle moment.
“Pobudka” is a wake-up song designed to guide listeners gently from sleep to full alertness.

“Biggest transformation has been trusting myself that I already have certain skill sets that I haven’t put in use. Getting that confidence and pitching ideas to the community has been really cool. Putting time down and having a deadline really helped.” — Will Beale, poet and singer-songwriter (@willthebeale produces in Logic Pro)
Will came in wanting to learn to produce his own music instead of relying on another artist to bring his ideas to life. He also wanted to get better at collaboration — so that when he works with other people, it’s easy to create, share and make music together. Having a deadline and a supportive group to pitch ideas to turned out to be exactly what got him unstuck.

“It’s so fun! It really pushes you from concept to a finished release.” — Esther Wilson, in corporate marketing, back in the studio for the first time since her orchestra days (@esthergwilson produces in Ableton Intro — you don’t need advanced software to start, Musicpath Pro meets you where you are)
In her words: “Music has always been part of my life. When I was younger I played violin and in orchestras, and when I went to university I ended up taking a break and lost some of the skills. This course has helped me reconnect with music and look at it from an expanded perspective.”
She also found the skills carry beyond music: “Learning a new technical skill opened my mind into how I can apply these techniques across other skills — in social media, designing sound journeys.”
“The biggest learning for me has been about how to make progress, how to engineer your creativity, how to make sure you are taking small steps in the right direction and actually finish a piece.” — Kush, works in fintech and DJs on the side (@kushhhhhg produces in Ableton Standard)
Before joining, Kush’s biggest struggle wasn’t motivation — it was finding a community and someone to learn from on a schedule that actually fit his life. He came in realizing creativity is a wide-open journey, but it was putting healthy limitations in place that made the real progress happen.
As he put it, “this course gives you a path forward in a very open-ended way — no finish line, no competition, just steady, supported steps toward bringing your own ideas to life.”
“I stopped expecting to do everything right based on my own expectations. I learned to make peace with the things that I create because they are created by me — and I think I’m a lot gentler on myself now as a person.” — Brie, who works in tech (creates in Ableton Intro)
Before joining, Brie had played instruments on and off growing up but carried some shame around never learning “correctly” — she wanted someone to guide her through actually finishing something, not just tinkering alone.
Her honest take on who this is for: “I recommend this course to your grandmother, your mother, your uncle, your brother... Everybody has a creative avenue or a little fire within ourselves, and on this course I feel like I completely invigorated it.” In a fast-paced city like Singapore, she found it a rare space to check back in with herself.
“Being able to create a song that had a similar vibe to music I liked was very profound and very beautiful — to experience a sense of flow.” — Kevin Tan, who works in the NGO sector (@aristoitle produces in Ableton Suite — you don’t need to be musically trained to start)
Before this, Kevin wanted to see how a song could be broken down to its most basic elements. He wasn’t musically trained, so being in an environment where people showed him that was exactly what he needed.
“The biggest thing that I learned is to actually just finish things that I start.” — Melissa, who works in finance (@melirobs produces in Ableton Intro — you don’t need advanced software to start).
Before joining, Melissa says she’d write songs and “never ever finish anything.” Ableton felt complex at first, but breaking it down into simpler steps with Rupak is what finally got her first song written — start to finish.
She credits Rupak’s philosophy — finish it, then move on to the next — as a mindset shift that went beyond music: “That’s how we actually have growth in life... it changed my whole entire life.”
“Not to try so hard, not take it so seriously, try to have more fun with it. I feel like when there’s less pressure, it’s easier to be creative.” — Ben Kang, a didgeridoo performer and producer known as Bumi Vayu (@bumi_vayu produces in Ableton Standard)
Before joining, Ben’s process was mostly solo jamming — “it’s fun to try and come up with something, jam with myself, but finishing a final product, it takes more work.” That gap between jamming and finishing is exactly what Musicpath Pro closed for him.
Since completing the program, Ben — performing as Bumi Vayu — booked a live didgeridoo show at Cosmic City, turning bedroom jams into a real, paid gig.

“Was great to just start and try and learn along the way.” — Kahmy, who works in sustainability and is an artist (@kahmy.kaye produces in Logic Pro — no advanced software needed, just the willingness to start).
Kahmy joined because she wanted to finally make her own original song — but called the software itself “a battle.” What got her through wasn’t more advanced tools, it was how the classes were broken up: bite-sized, organised, one step at a time.
She describes herself as “still a baby” in her journey, and says the program helped her break through the barrier of feeling not good enough, confused, and facing fear — the biggest wins weren’t technical, they were about starting despite the doubt.
Kahmy’s story is proof that you don’t need to feel ready to make your own song — you need a clear, bite-sized path and the confidence to just start and learn as you go.
“One year down the road after I was more confident, more connected to the music industry, started to perform publicly, my songwriting improved a lot and I’m able to do things faster.” — Raj Kamal, a lecturer and former bedroom musician (@the_lucid_umbrella produces in Ableton Standard — proof any pro DAW gets you there).
Before joining, Raj was a bedroom musician at home who wanted something more advanced — he found Musicpath Pro struck the right balance between technical knowledge and practical, stage-ready showmanship.
A year later he’s not just writing better songs, he’s performing them publicly — faster, and with real confidence.
His advice to anyone on the fence: the program works whether you’re just starting out or already an intermediate musician — you don’t need to be a total beginner to get real value from it.
