your guide to success
You're not alone...
It's not your fault if you feel overwhelmed by the challenges of the music industry.
The conventional wisdom often overlooks the essential business aspects crucial for success in the electronic music industry. It's not your fault if you've been led to believe that talent alone is enough to make it. Many aspiring DJs don't realize what they don't know, and that's where the struggle begins.
I can help you stop feeling lost in the industry, struggling to make meaningful connections, and lacking the business savvy to navigate contracts and negotiations effectively. And start making informed decisions, building a strong network of industry contacts, and confidently pursuing your dreams as a thriving DJ.
That’s why I created LvR Academy. To help you get the recognition and success you deserve in the electronic music industry.
Years of Experience in the Electronic Music Industry
Hi, I’m Leticia van Riel
Empowering future DJs to navigate the electronic music industry
With over 18 years of experience in the electronic music industry, I've journeyed from being an intern to now managing the careers of globally renowned DJs like ANNA, Sama' Abdulhadi and Victor Ruiz.
Through LvR Academy, I provide aspiring DJs with the crucial business knowledge they need to succeed, born out of my own experiences and insights gained from working with artists at every stage of their careers.
I know what it’s like to see the potential in a small, up-and-coming artist and nurture their talent until they become headlining acts gracing stages worldwide.
My passion for electronic music ignited during my early days as a raver.
Then becoming an intern at a booking agency in London, and witnessing firsthand the energy and creativity that pulsates through the industry.
It was a moment of clarity amidst the chaotic rhythm of life, propelling me to dive deeper into the electronic music world.
The turning point came…
When I realized that many DJs lacked essential business knowledge, hindering their ability to thrive in an ever-evolving industry.
Determined to bridge this gap, I founded LvR Academy, transforming adversity into opportunity. Before LvR Academy, DJs struggled to navigate the business side of their careers, often feeling lost in a sea of opportunities. Today, they emerge equipped with the knowledge and confidence to forge their paths to success, supported by a community built on unprecedented knowledge and shared passion.
My firsthand experience, coupled with a compassionate approach to mentorship, uniquely qualifies me to guide aspiring DJs through their transformative journey. I’ve witnessed the power of education in unlocking potential, and it's this unwavering belief in the potential of others that drives me forward.
I understand the importance of adaptability in the ever-changing landscape of the music industry, having successfully navigated through its highs and lows alongside my artists.
One more thing about me:
My commitment to nurturing talent and empowering emerging artists drives everything I do, making LvR Academy the premier destination for aspiring DJs looking to turn their passion into a profession.

“She opened my eyes about the things (big and small) that are very important for an artist in addition to music... And with everything she suggested to do, the results came very quickly."
Before I signed up for mentoring and met Leticia I had a big cloud in front of me and I had the feeling that I was stuck in one place and I didn't see a solution. Leticia changed all that with her unique approach. She taught me how to be proactive and how to ask things that I would never have dared to ask before, and that resulted in more and better gigs, better fees, better billing...she even made social media work fun :)
