AI-MUSIC · FROM TRACK TO ROYALTY

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.

NIK McFLY · AI MUSIC FOUNDER & OPERATOR

Co-founded venture results, updated August 2026. Revenue, not personal income or profit; figures are rounded public totals.

WHAT 20M STREAMS TAUGHT ME

Music earns attention. The system turns it into a business.

As AI makes production cheaper, taste, curation, and the system behind each release become the real advantage. The catalog only started working when the creative and operational sides were designed together.

CATALOG PROOF

The result is visible in the dashboards.

The screenshots show the platform royalties and stream counts behind the public catalog totals.

FIG. 01 · HOW THE CATALOG WORKS
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
WHERE I CAN HELP

Two ways into the same problem.

WORK WITH ME

Leave with a business model you can launch.

In one focused session, we choose the model, work through platform and rights risks, map costs and workflow, and define the smallest useful launch.

Already used in practice. A music-tech founder hired me to map distribution, royalties, and the catalog model for their product.
