Why This Exists

I was sitting in a music industry class at Drexel University watching a case study about an independent artist who spent $40,000 on a campaign that tanked. The professor called it a learning experience. I called it a data problem.

Major labels don't guess — they score every investment decision through analytics before they spend a dollar. They have entire departments dedicated to risk assessment, creative direction tracking, and ROI projection.

Independent artists and small labels? They have a spreadsheet and a prayer.

Every day, independents make $10K–$100K decisions based on gut feeling. Which single to push. When to release. Where to tour. Who to feature. Whether to invest in a music video or paid promotion.

I built Amera so independent artists, managers, and labels could make those decisions with data — not vibes.

The Gap Between Major Labels and Everyone Else

What Major Labels Have

  • Dedicated analytics teams ($500K–$2M/year payroll)
  • Investment scoring frameworks for every campaign
  • Risk identification systems across their roster
  • A/B testing infrastructure for release strategies
  • AI-powered trend analysis and recommendations

What Independents Have

  • A spreadsheet
  • A group chat
  • A gut feeling
  • Crossed fingers

Amera closes this gap. For less than the cost of a single Spotify playlist pitch.

What You Get

Investment Gate System

Multi-stage decision framework for every major investment. Before you spend $5K on a video or $10K on a radio push, run it through the gate. See the risk score, projected ROI, and recommended action — backed by data, not vibes.

One prevented bad $5,000 decision pays for 8 years of the Manager plan.

Risk Flag Engine

Automated risk identification across your roster. Dropping engagement? Inconsistent release schedule? Budget burn rate too high? The system flags it before it becomes a crisis.

Catching one problem 30 days early can save an entire campaign budget.

Creative Direction Tracker

Document and track A&R strategy for every artist. What's the sonic direction? Visual identity? Target audience? Keep the entire team aligned without another 2-hour meeting.

Replaces $500/month in project management tools.

Experiment Tracker

A/B test everything. Track which release strategies, content types, and promotional tactics actually move numbers. Stop repeating what doesn't work.

Knowing what NOT to spend on is worth more than knowing what to spend on.

AI Recommendations

Data-driven next-step recommendations for each artist. Based on performance data, market trends, and your custom parameters. Like having a senior A&R advisor available 24/7.

A junior A&R analyst costs $55K/year. This costs $19–$149/month.

Artist Progress Dashboard

See every artist's journey through your development pipeline. Where they are, what's working, what needs attention, and what's next — in one view.

See your entire roster's health in 30 seconds instead of 30 emails.
