The Brief

Make the academy sound like itself

Francis Jiu-Jitsu is a Perth-based BJJ academy with a strong culture built on community, personal growth, and respect for the art. The founder wanted something no other gym had: original music that captured the academy's identity and could be played during training, used in social media, and woven into the brand experience.

Not stock music. Not a playlist. A full brand soundtrack where every track tells a story connected to the academy's philosophy, techniques, and people.

Original Music Library

Tracks spanning multiple genres, each connected to a specific aspect of the academy's culture and BJJ philosophy.

Lyrical Content Strategy

Every lyric doubles as social media content. Quote-ready lines that reinforce the academy's values and community identity.

Interactive Music Hub

A custom web player to showcase the entire library, with mood-based filtering and a recommendation engine.

Genre Diversity

Hip-hop, Afrobeat, lo-fi, trap, G-funk, boom-bap, neo-soul. Each topic paired with the genre that amplifies its energy.

The Approach

Strategy first, music second

This wasn't about generating random tracks. Every song started with the academy's story, then matched to a genre that served the message.

01

Extract the Stories

Deep dive into the academy's philosophy, founding story, team culture, technique names, and the moments that matter to the community. Each story becomes a track concept.

02

Genre Matching

Each topic gets paired with a genre that amplifies its energy. The founding anthem gets Afrobeat. Technique breakdowns get Latin trap. The grind philosophy gets conscious hip-hop. The Perth connection gets G-funk.

03

Lyrics + Production

Custom lyrics written from the academy's voice, then produced with AI music generation and human curation. Multiple iterations per track until the energy, flow, and message are right.

04

Music Hub Build

A custom web player with the full 49-track library, mood-based filtering, and a Mood Shift recommendation engine that surfaces tracks based on training energy.
