-I fix creator payments to facilitate the transformation of Music IP Rights into a real time transactional Marketplace-

.@tabzyd principles for navigating the music business:

Understand Your Rights: Know the difference between the song you wrote and the recording you made. Both generate different types of money.

Get Your IPI Number: If you’re not in the global database, you don’t "exist" as a professional artist. Get registered.

Build Long-Term Value: Don’t just chase "bubblegum" hits. Work with a publisher to ensure your music earns for you and your family for decades.

Treat Music as an Asset: Your intellectual property can be used as collateral. Build a financial history for your music so it can support your life.

NEW MUSIC

@MichealKitanda revisits "Ottyo" with a refreshed 2025 version featuring @TonyaZiki (Tonya Ahenda).

Unlike the 2023 original version, this rendition softens the Amapiano influence, weaving in richer textures and intermittent "Ottyo" vocals while deepening the jazz foundation.
