Artist Readiness Audit
Eight quick questions. Find out exactly where your music career is leaking money and momentum — uncollected royalties, undocumented ownership, release quality, funding — and what to fix first.
1 / 8
Are you registered with SoundExchange?
SoundExchange collects digital performance royalties from internet radio — money your distributor never touches.
2 / 8
Are you a member of a PRO (BMI or ASCAP) with all your songs registered?
PROs collect performance royalties every time your music plays publicly — radio, venues, streaming.
3 / 8
Are you registered with The MLC for mechanical royalties?
The Mechanical Licensing Collective pays songwriters for on-demand streams — separate from what your distributor pays.
4 / 8
Do you have signed split sheets and clear ownership for every song?
No documented splits means disputes, blocked payouts, and songs you can’t fully license or sell.
5 / 8
Are your releases professionally mixed and mastered?
A rough mix is the fastest way to get skipped by playlists and listeners — quality is the first filter.
6 / 8
Do you release music on a consistent schedule?
Algorithms and fans both reward consistency — long gaps reset your momentum to zero.
7 / 8
Do you have a plan for funding your next project?
Grants, sync, advances, and reinvested royalties fund careers — hoping a track blows up is not a plan.
8 / 8
Do you track your music income and expenses like a business?
If you don’t know what your music earns and costs, you can’t grow it — and you’re losing deductions at tax time.
