Hey, I'm Finch Bergling! 👋
My story isn't the classic "successful musician" story.
I'm the artist who released music that went nowhere, got depressed, almost gave up, and realized that great music alone isn't enough.
So I went all in on learning marketing.
I spent 3 years in business school studying marketing, and then I worked for a music marketing company, managing campaigns for big artists and learning what actually works in this industry.
But here's what changed everything for me:
I started helping independent musicians - and I got obsessed with getting them real results.
Since then:
✅ I've created marketing tools that have helped over 1,000 musicians get clarity on how to promote their music - with dozens of positive testimonials from artists who finally understand what to do
✅ I've helped artists gain over 1 million streams in total using my combined strategy of ads, playlists, and social media
✅ I've reached over 10 million listeners on YouTube and Spotify and over 100 million views on Instagram and TikTok
✅ And I've helped musicians hit 100k+ streams on single releases using the exact system I'm teaching you.
I want this to be your reality in 2026. All you have to do is follow the system, stay consistent, and stop doing what doesn't work.
After being in the industry for years now, I know how important a REAL strategy is. And once I realized SO MANY musicians were releasing great songs but getting zero results because they didn't know how to market properly...
I knew I had to share my exact system for creating, releasing, and promoting music that actually gets heard.
That's when Your First Hit Song 2026 was born.
The entire point of this program is to keep things SIMPLE to follow while getting you real streams, real fans, and real growth. Because what I always say: the right strategy leads to real results.
If you're someone who is committed and you know you're meant to build a fanbase and make music that actually gets heard - this program is for you.
I'm excited to welcome you in. See you inside!

Get the full step-by-step plan for releasing your song the right way. This module breaks down exactly what to do before release (distributing, pitching, content prep, etc.), on release day (maximizing momentum, content types, ad launches, etc.), and after release (keeping streams growing, analyzing results, etc.).
Every single task is mapped out so you never feel lost or wonder if you're missing something important.

FAQs
Who is this program for?
This program is for independent musicians who want to learn how to promote their music the right way - using playlists, ads, and social media together as one system. Whether you're releasing your first song or your 50th, if you're tired of guessing what works, this is for you.
How long will it take to see results?
It depends on how quickly you implement. Some musicians see results within the first week of running ads or pitching playlists. Others take a few weeks. But once you have the system, you can use it for every release moving forward.
Do I need a big budget to make this work?
No. I've helped musicians with budgets as low as $100-$300 get real results. The program teaches you how to spend smart, not just spend more.
I don't have time to spend hours on marketing every day. Will this work for me?
Yes. That's the whole point. I show you how to set up systems that work passively - like ads that run while you sleep, playlists that generate streams on autopilot, and content strategies that don't require posting 5 times a day.
