WHAT'S INSIDE

Six parts, eighteen sections, and a worked example — Maya, a fictional artist starting from zero — who fills out every form before you do, so you always see what "done" looks like.

01 — Your Foundation
Artist identity, an honest equipment audit, and the recording habits that cost nothing but attention.
02 — Your Release System
Distribution selection, the metadata master sheet, and a week-by-week release strategy planner.
03 — Your Audience System
Platform strategy, the email-list builder, and the content types that actually build fans.
04 — Your Rights & Money System
The two copyrights, all four royalty registrations, your PRO setup, and the eight income streams.
05 — Your Career Architecture
Who does what in the industry, the opportunity-evaluation filter, and your catalog as wealth.
06 — Your Master System
The weekly operating system, a 12-month roadmap, and your commitment.
FILLABLE EDITION
Type straight into every worksheet, tick every completion gate, and save. Works on a laptop or tablet in any PDF reader.
PRINT-TO-FILL
Prefer pen and paper? Print it and write it out by hand. Both formats come with your single purchase.

Built by a working Nashville songwriter and producer — twenty-plus years, hundreds of sync placements across TV and film. This is the system, not a pep talk.

FREE
Free while the whole site goes free. Both formats. Yours to keep.
