Who actually owns your music in the AI era...and what to do about it
Free training for independent music creators who want to understand what they own, protect it, and let it keep working for them in the AI era.
Most independent creators only collect one of the five royalty streams attached to every song they release. This training shows you how to find the other four.

You've been releasing music for years. You've already done the hard part.
But if you're honest, you're still not completely sure what's actually protected, what's collecting, and what's quietly slipping through the cracks behind the scenes.
That's more common than you think. And it's not a talent problem - it's a "nobody ever explained this clearly" problem. Let's fix that.
In this free training, I'll walk you through:
- →Why your distributor isn't protecting your music - and what actually does
- →The registration gap that could be costing you up to 50% of your performance royalties right now
- →What AI actually changed about ownership in 2026 - and why human creators are in a stronger position than most realize
This is the stuff I wish someone had handed me years ago, as an independent artist who writes, produces, mixes, masters, and runs all her own admin from a home studio. Nobody dreams about metadata. I just got tired of watching it cost people money they'd already earned.
Three gaps are quietly costing you money you've already earned.
Most artists never even find them - which is exactly why the money keeps slipping away, month after month. They're not talent problems. They're not quality problems. And once you can see them, every one is fixable. Inside the free training, I name all three and show you how to close each one.
What you'll learn
- ✓The royalty streams attached to every song - and which ones your distributor doesn't handle
- ✓The difference between copyright ownership, enforceability, publishing, and commercial AI licensing
- ✓Why so many independent artists leave performance royalties uncollected for years without realizing it
When you know what you own, you can protect it. When it's protected, it can start working for you. That's how music funds more music - and how it stays a real part of your life.
Own what you create.

About your host, Andrea
Andrea Olson is the Owner of Produce Like A Boss, where we help artists, producers, and musicians produce, protect, and profit from their music.
She's a full-time independent artist-producer who built a six-figure, 1M+ stream music career without a label, manager, or large following, by choice. She writes, records, produces, mixes, masters, releases, and manages her own catalog. She's released 60+ songs, licensed music to brands, and once turned a single Christmas album into around $30k in branded client gifts - proof that music can fund more music.
Along the way she learned that making music and building a life around music are two different things. The admin side wasn't stealing time from her creativity - it was protecting it.
She didn't build the career the industry told her to build. She built one that let her keep making music. That's the whole point - making sure music never becomes something you used to do.
