Your Career Will Outlast Every Business Relationship
Your System Should Too
Every company in the music industry has an important role to play.
-
Distributor → distributes your music
-
Publisher → administers publishing
-
PRO → collects performance royalties
-
Manager → manages your career
-
Attorney → protects your legal interests
But none of them is responsible for understanding how every piece works together.
That responsibility belongs to you.
That's where Music Business 101 Mentor comes in.
I teach artists how the music business works, help them build the right foundation, provide practical tools, and create organized systems so they can confidently control their careers for decades, not just their next release.

Angela Strange
Founder, Music Business 101 Mentor
For more than two decades, I've helped artists—from their first release to decades into their careers—organize, protect, and manage the business behind their music
I created Music Business 101 Mentor because I believe every artist deserves a system they understand, own, and can rely on through every release, every deal, and every stage of their career.
Trusted by Artists at Every Stage of Their Career
From first-time artists to producers, managers, and record labels, I've helped music professionals organize, protect, and grow their careers.
Angela stopped us from signing paperwork that could have seriously damaged our careers. She's one in a million and a rare gem in the music industry.
