This is your sign to learn what you love

The music industry isn’t dying. Majors are restructuring. Artists are gaining power. If you’re independent: build your catalog and keep dropping. That’s the most important information you need! Agree or disagree?

Year after year, project after project. I can’t stop, and neither should you. More shots, more wins. #consistency

Ran businesses for years, then went back to finish the degree. If I did it, you can do “the thing” too.

In a new long form video, I talked about a new theory on why Blade was cancelled and other tv shows may have not gotten 2nd seasons (Wonder Man and Iron Heart). This is just the intro. Comment “theory” for the full video. #blade #wonderman

Consistency changes everything!

Eventually every major label and quiet majors will settle with AI music companies. And we’re in the final stretch of that happening.

Speedy was speechless 🤣

Universal Music Group sold $467M worth of Spotify stock. Thanks to Taylor Swift, artists will get around $100M of that. But which artists?

David Jonsson is the new Black Panther. He’s set to appear as T’Challa II, (son of T’Challa played by Chadwick Boseman) on the upcoming Black Panther 3 film directed by Ryan Coogler. What do think about this casting. I really like this and I think he’ll do great.

I’ve been seeing IMAX films for 18 years. If you’re in one of the few IMAX theaters, never sit where the red is. #imax

My spoiler free review of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey!

I’m still obsessed after all these years…

Are artists that work with distrokid considered independent now that they’ve sold a majority stake to a private equity firm? #distrokid

It took us 3 years to finish this song. For most of my career, I've worked on either R&B or Hip Hop, some Pop music, and, recently, other genres. But our label has never released Latin music… until this week. The idea started with a Latin version of our single FOREVER. I wanted to create an…

“HarbourView Equity Partners has acquired the publisher’s share of select compositions written by Wolf Cousins, the songwriting collective founded by Max Martin and Shellback.” -musicbusinessworldwide

Luminate recently released a report sharing that English-language audio streams dropped in the first quarter of 2026. Latin Music continues to rise in the US and currently stands at a 9.5% market share. English language music stands at 86%, losing 2% since last year. Korean language music is…

If you share fake info, you lose credibility. People are financially incentivized to mislead you and when you share the post, you help spread false info. Here’s two of the most used examples they use.

Late last night I found out over 100+ songs from our catalog were used to train AI models. Thanks to The Atlantic, they leaked a database of millions of songs that have been used by the biggest AI music companies like Udio and Suno. To be honest, until the major labels go through their lawsuits…

Similar to Napster, this company is one that all three major labels hoped would never exist. And they are now valued at $5.4B, yes, with a B. That company is Suno, an AI music generation platform that just got $400M funding and is worth more than double now than it was 6 years ago. Suno has over…

Garth Brooks is reportedly considering selling his catalog for $2 Billion dollars. This would be for his recorded music and publishing catalog. This is a very unique situation for a lot of reasons, so let me break it down. Now, if you didn’t know Garth Brooks is the top-selling album artist in…

Michael, part one the Michael Jackson biopic is now the highest grossing biopic of all time. #michaeljackson

What if I told you everything ends up working out?

Ed Sheeran revealed in a newsletter recently that he parted ways with Atlantic Records and Asylum Records last month, ending a 15-year partnership that produced eight studio albums and 170 million album sales worldwide. Sheeran met Ed Howard from Asylum Records at a show in Notting Hill when he…

Buzzfeed wants to compete with YouTube. Not sure if you heard about Byron Allen acquiring Buzzfeed but he outlined one of his goals is to compete with YouTube by paying creators to post on Buzzfeed. This is interesting because it’s known that YouTube compensates its creators well, so if they…

Do you remember when I talked about the takeover offer from Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square for $64B? Well, here’s an update, and I don’t think it’s happening anytime soon. We know this because one of the biggest shareholders of UMG has urged the rest of the board to reject the offer, and UMG has…

Are you watching Bloodhounds on Netflix?

The split nail analogy

Me at the function when I’m 80

I wanted to make sure I made it a point to collaborate with as many artists from South Florida as possible this year. I’ve always wanted to work with Stide Prince and I send him a beat that Chris Angel and I produced. He delivered something perfect for the mood of it everyone involved can’t wait…
