01 · Why work with me
I have built the thing
I advise on.
ChillhopGuru Recordings has grown from an independent label into a catalogue-driven music business working with hundreds of artists across lo-fi hip-hop, chillhop and jazzhop.
My consultancy is built around practical execution: release systems, artist submissions, playlist strategy, catalogue thinking, automation, positioning and the operational details that make independent music businesses easier to run.

Learn the systems behind
ChillhopGuru.
ChillhopGuru was not built from a single viral moment. It was built through years of catalogue development, artist relationships, playlist thinking, release consistency and operational problem-solving.
Consultancy sessions can cover the practical side of building a modern independent music operation: how to structure submissions, organise releases, manage artists, grow catalogue value, use playlists intelligently and automate repetitive label work.
