Most independent artists have thousands of dollars in unclaimed royalties sitting in four separate collection systems—and a four-year window to recover this money before it's redistributed to major labels.   In this episode, I break down the systematic framework for conducting a personal royalty audit. You'll discover why being registered with ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC isn't enough, and learn about the three additional systems most artists don't know exist: SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing administration services for worldwide mechanical collection, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective for streaming platform royalties.   I'll walk you through the five-step implementation process: auditing your current registrations, gathering documentation, registering with missing systems, claiming historical royalties, and creating an ongoing management system to prevent future losses.   This framework builds on insights from music business educator Amani Roberts in Episode 339, where he reveals how artists consistently leave money on the table through incomplete registrations and missing split sheet documentation.   Topics Covered: The four registration systems required to collect all your royalties How unclaimed royalties are redistributed to major labels after four years How to verify you're registered correctly with your PRO (writer AND publisher sides) SoundExchange registration for Pandora, iHeartRadio, and SiriusXM royalties Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC) free registration process When publishing administration services are worth the cost Split sheet documentation as the foundation for royalty collection Metadata management across all four systems Common mistakes that cause royalties to go unclaimed Step-by-step audit process with time estimates Creating an ongoing system to prevent future unclaimed royalties   December is the perfect time for this year-end financial cleanup—start recovering money you've already earned.

Today we are joined by Amani Roberts and he has written a new book about the history of R and B groups. The Quiet Storm gives us an history of one of the most popular genre's of music. More about Amani: Amani Roberts is a powerhouse in the world of music—an internationally recognized DJ, award-winning music professor, and passionate historian of R&B and Black music culture.

His upcoming book, The Quiet Storm: A Historical and Cultural Analysis of the Power, Passion, and Pain of R&B Groups, offers a deep dive into the rise and influence of groups like Destiny's Child, The Temptations, and TLC. Through his expertise, Amani unpacks how these artists shaped generations, influenced social movements, and left an indelible mark on the global music scene.You can visit Cameron online at CameronJournal.com Watch The Cameron Journal Newshour every Monday at 7 pm!Part of the SOOPcast Podcast Network

Independent musicians leave significant money on the table—not from lack of talent, but from unclaimed royalties and overlooked revenue streams. Amani Roberts, music business educator and author of the USA Today bestseller "The Quiet Storm," reveals the specific registration gaps costing artists thousands of dollars annually.   In this conversation, Amani breaks down the four major royalty collection systems most artists fail to use properly: PRO registration for public performance royalties, SoundExchange for digital performance royalties, publishing royalties through services like Songtrust, and the Mechanical Licensing Collective. He explains how unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels based on market share—money that independent artists could be collecting themselves.   Beyond royalty recovery, Amani shares his framework for building a private and corporate event business that can generate 5-10x more revenue than traditional bar gigs. He details the specific industry associations to join (MPI, PCMA, SITE), how to price yourself for corporate events, and the contract elements that differ from venue bookings.   Our conversation also covers email list-building strategies that convert social media followers into owned audience assets, how book publishing creates revenue opportunities beyond book sales, and why direct fan-to-artist platforms should be every musician's first 90-day priority.   Key Insights from This Episode   The Four Unclaimed Royalty Streams: Independent artists commonly miss public performance royalties (PROs), digital performance royalties (SoundExchange), publishing royalties (Songtrust), and mechanical royalties (Mechanical Licensing Collective). Unclaimed royalties eventually get redistributed to major labels—money independent artists should be collecting.   Royalty Recovery: Artists can recover unclaimed royalties going back up to four years. Proper metadata management and identical information across all platforms are critical for successful collection.   The Streaming Misconception: The biggest misconception is believing streaming is where most royalties come from. Mechanical, public performance, and publishing royalties represent more significant opportunities that are frequently overlooked.   Private and Corporate Event Revenue: Private and corporate events can generate 5-10x more revenue than bar gigs. Break in by joining event planning associations like Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Professional Conference Management Association (PCMA), and Society for Incentive Travel Executives (SITE). Volunteer at local chapters to build relationships with planners.   Corporate Event Pricing: Ask about the budget upfront, research past hires, and price based on your worth with flexibility. Always require deposits and negotiate hotel stays, parking, meals, and written/video testimonials in contracts.   Email List Monetization: Email lists are owned media (social is rented space). Revenue generation can begin with 50 subscribers. Use lead magnets like acoustic song versions and tools like MiniChat to automate conversions.   Book Publishing Strategy: Books rarely generate significant income from sales, but can increase speaking fees, create performance opportunities at events, and enhance rates for services. View publishing as paid marketing for your broader business.   90-Day Priority: Launch a direct fan-to-artist platform like Patreon with a compelling lead magnet for fast revenue impact.   Sustainable Revenue Model: Target 30% from performance, 30-35% from direct-to-fan, 20% from merchandise, 15% from private events.

What if the songs artists love the least become the ones fans can't live without? In this episode of the Innovation Storytellers Show, I sit down with Amani Roberts, DJ, professor, author, and creative powerhouse, to explore where real innovation happens in the music industry—beyond technology, beyond distribution, and deep into the creative process itself. Amani takes us behind the scenes of some of the most legendary R&B hits, revealing how experimentation, last-minute decisions, and creative risks have shaped the soundtracks of our lives. From Earth, Wind & Fire collaborating with magician David Copperfield to transform live performances, to Kool & The Gang reinventing their sound to reach #1, we unpack the unexpected ways music evolves. But this conversation goes beyond music. Amani shares lessons on creativity, reinvention, and ownership that apply to any industry—whether you're leading a business, building a brand, or creating something from nothing. We also dive into the business of music today, from the rise of streaming and catalog sales to how artists are navigating a world where music is consumed differently than ever before. If you've ever wondered how collaboration, risk-taking, and even rejection fuel the biggest breakthroughs, not just in music but in innovation at large. This episode is for you.

The dreaded "friend zone"...when you really like someone and they like you too, but they are unsure or too afraid the friendship will change, they "friend zone" you.  I mean sometimes they just aren't into you and you are in the "friend zone", LOL! This song may be able to help you out. Or this song may be able to say what you want to say. Amani Roberts, a true hopeless romantic, my guest today, suggested that if you get the girl with this song...it'd be a pretty slick move to play it on your anniversaries too!  He's smooth ladies!! I talked to Amani about his song choice "Where Will You Go" by Babyface. Amani can remember being in high school when he hears this song.  He can remember her name, his crew, the school dances, and even his childhood bedroom.  Amani is a DJ so he was able to recall a lot of popular artists at the time he was in high school. He reminisced about all the different posters and record albums on the ceiling of his, in the attic.   Amani loved the B side of this album with all the slow songs.  All those songs that make you feel.  And now when he hears them he feels, he feels nostalgic. I'm sad to report no additional information about this song on Song Facts. Full Show Notes

Chief Musical Curator of the Amani Experience, a boutique DJ company that caters to corporate clients is the creation of Amani Roberts. Amani is an adjunct professor at California State University and the successful author of “DJs Mean Business: One Night Behind the Turntables Can Spin Your Company's Succes.” Amani is also on Twitch University, where he blends his business savvy and love of music to teach the masses about his passion for creating podcasts and sharing why podcasts are the best way to grow your business. This is the main focus of the Amani Experience, a successful podcast that features all things music, business, and brand growth. Listen to today's episode of the One Big Tip podcast so you can learn more about expanding your business via podcasts.Amani Roberts is the founder of The Amani Experience, a luxury music entertainment company. Since 2008, Amani Roberts has traveled the globe, providing memorable musical experiences for thousands of people at corporate events, weddings, private parties, and video dj'ing. He is a professionally trained DJ and an adjunct professor at California State University. His podcast, the Amani Experience on Twitch University, educates companies and solopreneurs on growth potential. Amani tends to stick to the Twitch platform instead of others due to its broad reach and live streaming capabilities. That's where he hosts game shows and puts up videos of his live DJ events. He also hosts live game shows on Twitch. The live game show is a niche that grew out of the pandemic. Today it is a way for companies relying on zoom for meetings, events, and workshops to break up the time and entertain their team. With most companies using a hybrid model, going live during a workshop or seminar is the sweet spot. Going live enables you to captivate your audience and keep them entertained. Live podcasting also creates unique opportunities for lead generation. Twitch is an excellent platform as it has a global reach and will enable you to connect with people who would otherwise, never hear of your brand. Amani uses podcasts to create three types of lead generation value. The first is getting your audience to the platform you are broadcasting live on and then getting their email address by offering a value prop. This allows you to connect with them daily, weekly or monthly. The second type of lead generation you gain with podcasts is if someone listening to your podcast decides they want to hire you based on the exposure you gained from the live stream. The third type of lead generation is being top of mind. Through podcasting, you stay at the forefront of your audience's mind, so when they need your services, they think of you and your brand. Today, the best way to create brand awareness and increase authority is to use podcasting. By airing your podcast live on a streaming platform, you can reach people around the globe. Not all platforms are created equal. Linkedin, for example, when you post life, it stays on your account. Viewers can always refer back to it. They can re-watch it when it's convenient for them. People try to tune in when you offer a live component to your podcast. It's a way to share your process with your audience. They see that you are authentic, and they can connect with you.
