While I was looking for some new and exciting whops, I came across SoniX Academy. I was very intrigued by the group’s focus on teaching members all about successfully producing music.
But what drew me in the most was finding out the community is run by popular producer KXVI, who’s well-known in the music industry for his collabs with top-level artists and his two Grammy nominations.
His goal when creating SoniX Academy in 2024 was to help members who wanted to get into music production but didn’t have a clear-cut roadmap to help them launch their careers. SoniX Academy provides a combination of high-level courses on several genres a variety of important tools, as well as live seminars and calls with KXVI and other popular producers.

Before that, though, let’s talk a bit more about KXVI, the creator of SoniX Academy.
The person behind SoniX Academy
KXVI is a very popular music producer who’s managed to secure collaborations with top artists like Future, 21 Savage, and SZA at a very young age. In 2021, once KXVI was already an established name in the industry, he launched the SoniX platform, where he could sell all his sounds, and that’s what eventually got him two Grammy nominations.
As the SoniX audio platform grew, KXVI realized he could help aspiring producers improve their sound by teaching them his tricks and industry insights. That’s how SoniX Academy was born, with the community joining Whop in 2024.
Since then, the SoniX Academy whop has attracted hundreds of eager producers looking to improve. And judging by the group having exclusively five-star reviews on Whop, it’s obvious that KXVI and his team are doing a great job with the community.
Getting into the Academy
As soon as I got into the SoniX Academy whop, I was immediately surprised by how many channels and sections the community had. I noticed the group also has a private Discord server, but they’ve integrated everything you need directly in the whop, too.
The group’s whop is highly customized with unique icons to make each section stand out. There’s a short introductory course under the “How to get started” section that acts as an onboarding guide to the group and showcases the first steps to get started in music production. You can also find this tutorial in written form under the “Academy Guide PDF” section.
The SoniX Academy group also has several live events, including Zoom calls with KXVI, where he answers questions, reviews member beats, and does live tutorials. There are also recordings of these live sessions, so you can watch them whenever you want.
What I really liked about SoniX Academy was how active the group actually was. There’s a dedicated “Chat” room where members can talk about anything they want. KXVI is very active in the chat room and will gladly answer any questions members have.
Apart from KXVI’s live sessions, you can find his “Uncut Interviews” on Whop. These are essentially full-length interviews with other producers and industry experts, where you can learn a ton of invaluable insights. KXVI also has a detailed masterclass on music production, which you can find on the group’s whop.
Additionally, the SoniX Academy group is full of PDF guides and producer blueprints to help you get started. There are also several unique kits for creating your own beats, including loop kits, drum kits, and genre-specific mini kits.
Music theory and educational courses
KXVI puts a ton of emphasis on proper learning material, which is why he’s created several courses on music production. You can start off with the “Music Theory 101” course if you don’t have any previous experience with music or just move on to more advanced courses.
You can also check out the “How to Play Guitar 101” section that includes the first steps you need to take to learn guitar, a quick overview of the equipment you’ll need, and even some more advanced techniques.
