John von Seggern is the founder and CEO of Futureproof Music School, an AI-native education company training the next generation of music creators. He brings over 20 years in music technology and education, blending hands-on production, sound design and curriculum leadership into a clear mission: make music learning adaptive, current and deeply practical.

Before launching Futureproof, John designed and ran online programs at ICON Collective and other top production schools for more than a decade. He worked closely with leading instructors and adopted new education tech as it emerged. That work shaped his belief that students learn best with quick feedback, projects are real and guidance fits each person’s goals.

At Futureproof, John leads strategy and technology development. He integrates advanced tools into the learning flow so students get timely, relevant coaching instead of generic lectures. The Futureproof platform combines AI-powered personalization with expert human mentorship and a dynamic, project-based curriculum. The result is a 24/7 learning companion backed by seasoned producers who coach taste, judgment and career context.

This human-in-the-loop model is his answer to a fast-changing music industry: let AI speed the routine steps and let mentors focus on the high-value skills only humans can teach.

John’s creative background spans ambient and experimental electronic music, sound design for film, Ableton Live, AI creative tools and live performance. He is also an accomplished bassist and Chapman Stick player, having toured extensively internationally with some of Asia’s biggest pop artists.

John is based in Los Angeles and leads a lean team with deep roots in the electronic music community. Futureproof’s work reflects his simple belief: when technology amplifies great teaching, students learn faster, stay engaged and make better music.
