Too all my music artists, managers or indie labels, do you at any point currently in practice or hypothetically consider to keep a functioning log of all of your music sessions & those who participate within it? And does that log exist as something separate from the actual recording participants for a record? (such as remote mix/mastering engineers, remote producers, remote featured artists, etc.)
Along with paying any potential producers, recording engineers, mixing engineers, mastering engineers, graphic designers &/or videographers, etc. —
We artists also have to take these kind of fees into consideration per Release (whether single or body of work)... paying for monitoring for RIAA certifications & even Billboard chart ratings.
To my fellow music artist creatives navigating & exploring web3 as a platform for your music:
What important considerations have impacted or changed the way you work, manage & keep track of your musical works & the business that surrounds it?
What if anything has now become a part of your standard operating procedures? 🧐
I just wanna write raps, but in actuality, this is what the complexity of the music business looks like — and I’m sure I’m only scratching the surface here.
Music as an irreducible asset doesn’t even exist fr, it’s a figment of your imagination.
Each & every song is technically more like an ETF, a basket index more than an individual asset in & of itself.
On June 2nd, a Porsche commercial that I had the pleasure of working on musically will premiere. I won’t hide the fact that owning a 911 has always been a dream of mine, so I’m really happy to get a little closer to the brand.
Felt it relevant to reshare this here 🙂↕️🙏🏾 something I built to help us get better at managing the music business & operational side of the Music journey!

Is the passion for live entertainment...gone?
It used to be about creating experiences and introducing new concepts and parties.
I believe this change is because it's now a 'BIG' business.
Corporations are involved; agents want more - and artists are really pushing their PR and marketing efforts to get themselves out there and prop their value.
Live entertainment thrived and continued to thrive because we had substance.
We had a desire to fulfill a need. And those go beyond filling one's pockets.
If that's all you are going to think about, you are part of the problem that will plague live entertainment into the greedy corporations we sought to get rid of in the first place.
Think about it
