I audited 4 independent artists. Here’s what I found.
I built the Artist Leverage Audit to find out exactly where independent artists are losing money.
4 artists took it. The results confirmed everything I’ve been saying.
Here’s the data:
COPYRIGHT & OWNERSHIP:
Only 25% registered their songs with the U.S. Copyright Office. 75% have split sheets signed but still don’t have full legal protection on their work.
ROYALTIES & MONEY:
100% of artists audited do not track mechanical royalties. 100% do not report live performances for royalty collection. Only 25% collect international royalties. Only 25% track ISRC codes. Zero track ISWC codes.
That’s not bad luck. That’s missing money sitting uncollected right now.
MARKETING & RELEASES:
None of the artists had more than 15 pieces of content prepared for a release. None had a post-release monetization strategy. Zero had a documented workflow another person could execute.
THE ONE BRIGHT SPOT:
100% said they are building long-term brand equity. The awareness is there. The infrastructure isn’t.
This is the gap BME exists to close.
You can have the talent. You can have the drive. You can have the vision.
But if you don’t have the business infrastructure behind it — you’re leaving real money on the table every single day.
The average artist in this audit was missing at least 6 out of 8 revenue streams they’re legally owed.
That’s not a talent problem. That’s a structure problem.
