The Book They Don't Want you to Read!
For decades, the music industry’s gatekeepers have controlled who gets heard, who gets paid, and who gets left behind.
Breaking Chains: Navigating the Decentralized Music Industry pulls back the curtain on how artists can finally take back control — using blockchain, AI, DAOs, and decentralized platforms to build fan-powered careers that don’t depend on major labels or streaming pennies.
This isn’t another “music business 101” guide. It’s a manifesto for independence — a roadmap for the next era of creators who refuse to play by the old rules.
If you’ve ever felt the system was stacked against you, this is the book they don’t want you to read.
Because once you understand how the new decentralized model works, you’ll never look at the industry the same way again.
