Jai Yoko (@jaiyokoent)

I’m starting a new series called #NobodyToldYallThis — because they didn’t. Nobody teaches creatives the rules to this game: contracts, split sheets, what your distributor does and doesn’t pay, how to collect royalties (PRO/MLC/SoundExchange), how to avoid black box money, how touring pay + taxes…

CONTENT is KEY 🔑 🔑🔑!! Almost every PIECE of CONTENT we create can be MONETIZED! Creators just have to do their due diligence in LEARNING the avenues that PAY!! If you missed our #BrunswickGA stop, be SURE to pull up at our #JacksonvilleFL stop November 5th, 2022 w/ @djdrdoomddp ! #AOMTour…

You made the music. You connected with @The MLC. Soooo…where’s the money? 👀💰 Before we start assuming something went wrong, let’s check a few things! ✅ Are you using the right MLC Hub for your situation? ✅ Is your banking/payment information up to date? ✅ Have you searched for your songs and…

My FIRST @CultureCon, I got to host a @Braindate by e180, AND it was in Brooklyn?! Y’all know how much I love New York 🥶 I’ve been to plenty of conferences and conventions, but never one that felt so damn BLACK—one where we got to gather and celebrate 💫US💫. I had a ball meeting people, taking in…

When collaborating with other creators—be sure to HAVE these conversations about splits and ownership! If not—it’ll bite you in the ass later 😂😂 Use discernment when collaborating with people: do you REALLY want to work with someone who DOESN’T want to ensure ALL collaborators are accounted for??…

So I got some friends I want y’all to meet. 👀 Meet my homies over at @The MLC — The Mechanical Licensing Collective. And depending on how you make your music, they might have some royalties for you. 💰 Over the next couple of weeks, me and The MLC are gonna break down what they do, what royalties…

“Give me a challenge, I’ll take it and spin it” 🌀 If y’all know me, you KNOW I usually be on the OTHER side of the studio talking rollout plans, metadata, copyrights, and release strategy 😭 not in the booth doing ad-libs. But @LachiMusic challenged me to step outside my comfort zone for #FIDGET……

@LaRussel built his lane. #NipseyHussle built his. @Tory Lanez made noise about it. But none of them invented D2C — they just reminded us it was possible. Prince was controlling his masters, his name, his image, and his distribution before streaming existed, BEFORE social media existed, and…

There are SO many more important things than these #VanityMetrics they try to get yall caught up on—don’t forget, #HumansMatter. #jaiyokoent #ComeGetTheseJewels💎 #WomenInMusic #IndustryTrailblazersChat

My vision is rooted in education. For far too long, Black and Brown artists have been excluded from the music industry—not because of a lack of talent, but because no one ever taught us the business. I believe in starting at the root—teaching artists how this industry really works, so they can…
