Pillar Summaries

At a Glance

01 · INDUSTRY LITERACY

Deconstructs the music industry supply chain from creation to consumption. Covers DSP economics, distribution agreements, manager obligations under Spanish/EU law, and the publishing/sync licensing chain. Equips artists to map their own value chain and negotiate from knowledge, not hope.

02 · FINANCIAL AUTONOMY

Builds economic independence through copyright protection, royalty stream optimization (performance, mechanical, neighbouring rights), navigation of Spain's collection societies (SGAE, AISGE, AGEDI), self-employment (autónomo) compliance, and sustainable P&L modeling for creative careers.

03 · CREATIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Transforms the artist into a strategic enterprise. Covers brand architecture beyond decoration, audience depth over width, creative direction fundamentals, pricing frameworks and negotiation, and the systems/structure needed to scale an independent music business without compromising artistic integrity.

04 · CRITICAL ANALYSIS

Develops intellectual tools to interrogate industry norms. Covers contract language deconstruction, partnership evaluation frameworks, media literacy for separating signal from noise, and a critical framework for distinguishing industry interests from artist interests.
