Problem

Independent music takes more than a finished track. We’re building the operations around artist development, production, distribution, branding, and live promotion.

Approach How I thought about it

  • I connect artist development and creative production with structured business operations.

What I built or did

  • I established artist recruitment, onboarding, relationship-management workflows, and booking and payment processes.
  • I developed digital promotion strategies and supported production, audio engineering, and distribution.

Results

  • In progress

    Our active business has supported branding and promotion for six or more artists and coordinated as many as seven concurrent creative projects.

Tools

  • Project management
  • CRM workflows
  • Brand strategy
  • Music production
  • Digital distribution
  • Artist relations
