We’re here to help

Meet your coaches

Hi, we’re Gary and Claudia Grant.

Here to help you build the creative career you actually want without losing yourself, your spark or the people who matter most to you.  

For 20 years— as an artist and wife of an artist—we lived and breathed all things music.  We know what it’s like for your talent to be the driving force behind every decision you make. 

How, what you don’t know about yourself or the music and entertainment industry can lead to unexpected pressures.

When the time came for Gary to exit his career in a band with his brothers, he decided to transition to the more consultative side of music and entertainment.

Creative family and friends kept us close to the industry as our careers moved into coaching and psychology.  We took our collective experiences from working in and out of music and entertainment as the starting point for Grant Searchlight.

Our mission is to help creatives like you discover your personal toolkit and navigate each step of your career—on your terms.

Grant Searchlight helped me prepare for every outcome

We all act as if we know what we’re doing, but you guys know the industry and how hard it is to adjust to.  I didn’t think about how going on the TV show would affect everything I did afterwards, including the impact on my family.  

What you guys do is amazing, you prepare people like me for every outcome and you are a great support system.

I regained direction for my career and family

Claudia’s thoughtful coaching techniques and active listening gave me a consistent space to express my thoughts, feelings, and concerns. 

This support helped me navigate challenges, particularly around regaining confidence in making career decisions after having a baby. 

Through our calls, I was able to clarify my thoughts, remove mental barriers, and decide on the next steps in this new season of my life.
