The hard part starts after the track is made

I help AI-music founders and product teams turn tracks into release systems that handle artist positioning, distribution, metadata, royalties, and catalog economics

A track earns attention. A system turns it into a business

AI made production cheaper. The advantage now is taste, curation, and a release system that works

The catalog, in numbers

$57,757 in platform royalties
20M+ streams across two distributors · 80+ releases

HOW IT WORKS

Two sides build one catalog

The music side creates recognizable releases. The operating side gets them distributed, tracked, and paid. Together they turn repeated releases into a business asset that can keep earning

THE MUSIC

Make releases people can recognize

  • production direction and sound
  • artist position and visual story
  • release rhythm and catalog shape
THE SYSTEM

Make every release work as a business asset

  • distribution rules and metadata
  • royalty tracking and payments
  • costs, payout rates, and growth decisions
