Making the jump across the pond to crack the US live market, or building and protecting your independent career at any stage — there's a system for both. No overlap. Pick the one that fits.
The European artist's blueprint for breaking into the US live market. Eight sections covering every stage from the readiness decision to post-tour growth — visa strategy, export funding, venue booking, routing, and settlement. Includes five fillable templates, a Visa Decision Tree flowchart, and a US booking agent directory.
The complete career infrastructure manual. 18 modules covering every business decision from the first track to a six-figure touring operation — legal structure, publishing rights, live business, financial systems, and the first $50K roadmap.
What the music industry won't tell you before you sign. Label deals, management contracts, publishing agreements — how the machine actually works, what the clauses mean, and what to do before anyone puts a contract in front of you. Seven sections. Plain language. No corporate softening.
Every release decision has a right order and a wrong order. This system maps the full deployment: editorial pitch windows, DSP-by-DSP submission protocol, content sequencing tied to algorithmic triggers, pre-save strategy, playlist targeting beyond Spotify editorial, and a post-release data audit that tells you what worked and why.
Independent artists lose thousands in uncollected royalties every year — not because they aren't generating income, but because they haven't registered correctly or don't know the income stream exists. Every royalty type, PRO registration, mechanical licensing, SoundExchange, neighboring rights, and a full catalog audit framework.
