Music business co-pilot for independent artists

A digital platform for 7M+ grassroots musicians to expand their income paths & industry acumen beyond streaming.

For my SCAD Master's graduate project, I created a B2C product to help music artists build their independent careers successfully. The project pivoted when the initial idea for improved royalty systems by DSPs like Spotify and Apple Music was not feasible. I hosted diagnostic and usability workshops to connect with my target audience and map the business model.
