Training

Teach the business
to the artists.

Information is the artist’s first asset. We teach how the market actually works — contracts, rights, data, money — with the distance between the classroom and the desk reduced to zero.

Content drawn from 30 years of UK and Brazilian industry practice: independent releases, label services, publishing, sync and touring. Delivered as courses, mentoring and consultancy for artists, managers and small labels.

Formats

Three ways
to work together.

From the open class to one-to-one work with a catalogue already in the market.

a

Courses & workshops

Music business fundamentals: rights, contracts, distribution, marketing and data — in intensive or periodic modules, in person or online.

b

Mentoring for artists

Individual follow-up on a real project: release plan, repertoire, audience, negotiation and career decisions.

c

Consultancy for labels

Structure, catalogue and internationalisation for independent labels, publishers and managements.

Programme

What a module
covers.

  • How a recording is financed, released and accounted for
  • Copyright, publishing and the split of works
  • Distribution, playlists and the role of metadata
  • Contracts: what the artist signs and why it matters
  • Sync, licensing and brand partnerships
  • Live: booking, costs and settlement
  • The international market and Brazilian repertoire abroad
