Question 1

How is this different from Distrokid or TuneCore?

Accepted Answer

Those are artist tools for self-release. This is label infrastructure for managing catalogs at scale. Distrokid handles one artist uploading their own tracks. You need custom middleware that handles thousands of tracks, enforces metadata standards, manages splits across multiple writers, and integrates with your distributor's API. Different problems, different solutions.

Question 2

What distributors do you integrate with?

Accepted Answer

FUGA, The Orchard, Ingrooves, and others. Custom integrations available based on your distribution stack. If your distributor has an API, we can automate the export formatting.

Question 3

Who is this for?

Accepted Answer

Mid-to-large independent labels managing substantial catalogs. If you're running operations on spreadsheets and email, scaling is costing you money. This is for labels where manual data entry is a full-time job for multiple people and metadata errors are causing royalty losses.

Question 4

What's the ROI timeline?

Accepted Answer

Most labels recoup implementation cost within 6 months through reduced admin overhead and eliminated metadata errors. The efficiency gains compound as you sign more artists - your operational costs stop scaling linearly with revenue.

Question 5

Do you offer consulting without development?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many clients start with the Operations Assessment (Tier 1) to quantify the cost of their current chaos before committing to a build. I can audit your workflows, analyze metadata quality, and provide infrastructure recommendations as a standalone deliverable.

Question 6

How much do you charge?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope and what you need. Email me details about your catalog size, current workflow, and distributor setup, and I'll give you a straight answer.

Question 7

How fast can you start?

Accepted Answer

Usually within a week if the scope is clear. I reply to emails within 24 hours, we do a quick call to align on details, and then we start with the Operations Assessment. No long onboarding processes.

Question 8

What if I already have developers?

Accepted Answer

Perfect. I can work as an advisor to your existing team - architecture reviews, technical roadmapping, and vendor selection. I don't need to write code to add value. Most labels don't have in-house developers who understand music operations, which is where I bridge the gap.

Question 9

Are you taking new clients?

Accepted Answer

Depends on timing and project fit. I balance product development and consulting. If I'm at capacity or your project isn't a good fit, I'll tell you straight up. Email me and we'll figure it out.

Question 10

What tech stack do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Mainly TypeScript/Next.js for frontends, Supabase/Postgres for databases, and enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure. Comfortable with distributor APIs, file storage at scale, and secure multi-tenant architectures. If you're using something obscure I haven't touched, I'll be honest about whether I can help.
