To Art Is To Business When I was learning music, I was always misinformed about the relationship between art and business. I believed that art and business were mutually exclusive; that a good artist could never be rich and that great art only comes from poverty. It's true that people who believe this still exist today. Strange, isn't it? I started researching how art and business can be related, and here are a few points I would like to share: 1. Financial Sustainability: At the end of the day, no matter how holy you think of your art, it has to be able to support the business side of it. 2. Financial Awareness: Many actors are financially troubled because they don't pay attention to the business side of their careers and eventually become irrelevant. 3. Economic Power of Art: Art has the power to drive the economy. An artist who understands this will be able to produce more impactful art that can also make them financially well. 4. Longevity in the Arts: Amitabh Bachchan, at the age of 81, is able to sustain his career in the business of acting. It’s too simplistic to call it just luck. 5. Reinvention: Some artists who were once at the forefront of the indie music wave are losing engagement. It seems like it's time for them to reinvent themselves. 6. Diversification: Bhuvan Bam is a good example of someone who has transformed from being just a content creator to working on web series aired on Hotstar. In short, whether a person is conscious of the business side of art or not, being aligned with the economy and the business world will keep an artist relevant. There is a common belief among many artists: "Keep working on your art, and the universe will grant you success." While that's not a wrong statement, you can grant yourself success before the universe does. Art can be both sacred and financially rewarding, and it can be a source of human satisfaction and economic growth. P.S.: This post is not intended to ridicule people who genuinely create art solely for soul fulfillment.

The new LL Cool J album, The Force, exclusively produced by Q-Tip, is a very good album. Why am I talking about it? Well, it was created by two old guys. Guys in their 50s. Guys who've made dozens of albums. Veterans. Old guys. So? Well, I'm in an industry that puts people out to pasture once they hit 50. We all know the reasons. Advertising is a business. I get it. But there's also a part of it that's also an art. And some of the best art has come from artists in their 50s and beyond. Maybe all that life experience actually adds up to something rich. Interesting. Dynamic. Worthy. Maybe creativity doesn't just suddenly die. Maybe if you're creative, you're kinda always creative. Maybe.

What is A440? If you’ve been to an orchestra concert, you probably heard the musicians start the evening by all tuning their instruments to the same note. That note is A (the A that lives at 440Hz, to be precise). Once they’re all in tune, they can play their disparate parts and yet still be in harmony with each other. Branding works the same way. Everyone on your team plays a different role, but what keeps them in harmony? A shared mission. And the simplest representation of your company’s mission is your branding. You might call it the “A440” of your company. That’s one of my top goals at A440 Creative: to create branding for companies that clearly communicates your mission and helps your individual players work as a team.

I know it’s a great saying that “Good artists copy, great artists steal.” By Pablo Picasso and it’s Steve Job’s favourite quote too but it doesn’t mean mindlessly copying someone else’s work. It’s about absorbing inspiration from various sources, internalizing it, and then making it your own by adding a unique perspective or innovative twist. In the digital age, where content is abundant, adding your personal touch is crucial. Just replicating what’s out there adds no value. #beoriginal #digitalmedia #socialmedia

**Artists and Creators – Don’t Fall for the "Big Opportunity" Trap** Over the past three months, my legal team has recovered over $10,000 USD in unpaid royalties from several independent European labels for songs I released between 2021 and 2023. Some tracks had contracts that were blatantly unfulfilled. Others didn’t even have contracts, as I was new to the industry and unaware at the time. Now, when approached, the labels’ response is: *“We agreed this was a great opportunity for you.”* Let’s be clear – an opportunity is one thing, but when a song has over 10.8M streams, and another has 4M streams (both featuring **my vocals**), that’s a clear *opportunity* for the label too. Yet, the reality is, these “opportunities” often come without proper compensation. Don’t get caught in the trap of being offered exposure or reputation in exchange for your hard work. You deserve to be compensated fairly for your talent and effort. If the business terms aren’t met, take action. Because, let’s be honest – if they’re doing this to you, how many other artists have they treated the same way? Business is business. Make sure you get what you’re owed.
