Copyright isn’t just paperwork — it’s protection. In this post, I break down why every independent artist needs to register their music, the truth behind the “Poor Man’s Copyright” myth, and how copyright works alongside PRO registration. If you’re serious about owning your art, this is where you start.

If you’re releasing music without registering with BMI or ASCAP, you’re leaving money and control on the table. This post breaks down why PROs matter, the difference between writer and publisher shares, and how independent artists can protect their royalties from day one.

Releasing a single isn’t just uploading a file and crossing your fingers. It’s a full-blown production—financially, mentally, and creatively.

I’m here to build. To educate. To empower. And to remind every artist out there: you’re not alone and this is Why I’m Starting This Blog.
