LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 14, 2015) - Since launching his company PCG Nashville (www.pcgnashville.com) in 2008, industry veteran Bernard Porter has changed the lives and fortunes of hundreds of established, new and up-and-coming musicians and artists of all genres.

Establishing what is now recognized as one of America's leading career/artist development organizations, he created "The Science of Artist Development" via a multi-faceted approach covering every aspect of creative and personal development -- from vocal and media training to live show production, artist branding and the ultra-important, often-overlooked realm of "life skills."

Now, joining forces with online education juggernaut Classroom24-7 (www.classroom24-7.com) and their equally visionary CEO, Ernie Liang, Porter is taking his holistic approach to artist development global via PCG (Premier Career Guidance) Online (www.pcg24-7.com), which brings an expansive and ever-evolving real world training curriculum to musicians and artists at every level.

Set to launch in November 2015, the platform will allow millions of artists around the world to train at their own pace with many of the industry's most accomplished instructors and coaches. Aspiring artists will be able to work with instructors who Porter says have guided "the biggest stars on the planet;" learn insider secrets from music professionals and strengthen the skills needed to succeed in talent competitions; and gain the edge needed to promote themselves as artists and thrive in today's increasingly competitive industry.

PCG Online's initial curriculum -- known as the PCG Essentials Line -- includes multiple on-demand courses including: Essentials of Songwriting, Essentials of Vocal Performance and Essentials of Auditioning. Additional courses will be launched soon including: Essentials of Live Performance, Essentials of Music Theory, Essentials of the Music Business, Essentials of Authenticity and Essentials of Parenting an Artist. More advanced courses are currently being developed and will comprise the Masters Line of courses.

Upon meeting Liang via a mutual friend who is an investment professional, Porter knew he had found the perfect partner to help him fulfill his goals. Classroom24-7 is a full service online education company that provides distance learning technologies and services. Their learning management system (LMS) was voted one of the Top 10 Association LMS Solutions in the world.
