A Story Steeped in Sound Jessie, known in the industry as the “Music Business Nerd,” blends a solid foundation in music business with specialized expertise in intellectual property. Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Music Business and Audio Production from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) and a Master’s degree in Intellectual Property Law from the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Jessie is currently pursuing a J.D. at the ABA-accredited Western State College of Law. This multifaceted background enables Jessie to offer comprehensive consulting services to artists, talent managers, and industry professionals alike. Jessie’s services focus on safeguarding the creative and financial rights of talent through intellectual property protection, meticulous contract review and negotiations, and conflict resolution. Jessie is also dedicated to helping artists establish and manage their royalty accounts, conducting royalty audits (not forensic accounting), collection of past royalties (where possible), and providing hands-on guidance for tracking and monitoring royalty payments. Known for an analytical, detail-oriented approach, Jessie empowers artists and their teams with the knowledge and tools they need to maximize revenue and protect their work in a competitive and complex industry. As a seasoned advocate for artists’ rights and a passionate educator, Jessie Monville combines business savvy with a deep legal understanding, making a meaningful impact across the entertainment landscape. Jessie’s goal is to support a fair, transparent, and artist-driven music industry where creatives can flourish with an understanding of how their original works, and likeness are protected and compensated. *****IMPORTANT HOUSEKEEPING NOTES***** As I genuinely strive to "leave people better than I found them," I care very much for helping as many people as possible in understanding "The Machine." In my efforts to do so and against the urging of many amazing attorneys I work with, I keep the hourly rate quite low for the work product provided. That said, there have been a few instances of late where (perhaps innocently), a few have reached out with what started as a simple question and went on to many, requiring quite a bit of time. Please know that it would be disrespectful for those clients who are paying for consulting, for me to spend more than a couple minutes on a question without an agreement. I know it is likely unintentional, and I will always make a comment such as, "any further assistance will need to be contracted" in order to be fair to the clients who are paying for consulting. Always happy to hear your questions and help provide an estimate in advance. Appreciate your understanding. Thank you for your understanding and patience on responses and response times, as in order to accommodate clients from around the globe, I try to have unique hours where I am often working in the middle of the night into the early morning and again mid/late afternoon in order to accommodate as many time zones as possible and often on weekends. Therefore, while I am able to schedule calls/video consultation in a wide range of hours/days, please know if I have not answered your message quickly (and you are not a currently contracted client) it is likely I am recharging, taking a meal break, or in the middle of working on something for a client and I will answer as soon as possible. (Generally within 12 hours of receiving a message from a non-contract client) If you have a truly urgent need, i.e. song is releasing in 24 hours, or you received a "scary letter" please type URGENT clearly and as the first words. This, will capture my attention in less time. Lastly, in an effort to ensure all clients walk away with a better understanding of how "the machine" works in their unique situation, I will always do my absolute best to give you the options you have, possible outcomes of those options and generally standard industry practices in the given situation. Often this can be news that is not comfortable or what someone wishes to hear. Please know that it is my duty to be honest and transparent and sometimes, that is to give information that is not what a client hoped for. Just know, most situations are able to be worked out. In some cases it may be a little costly or time consuming, but it is more often than not the case that there are solutions. Where a matter requires a licensed attorney to assist, I work with several spanning several states, and they are happy to provide an Artist Friendly quote. ****MY GIFT TO CLIENTS**** Any client who has hired me for a total of $250 or more, may request a free copy of the guide I have been working on for years that breaks down: royalties, what they are, the registrations you actually need, and how "the money moves". Not a client or under $250? You may send a proposal for 1-hour of consulting with a note that it is for the guide, and I will send you the password protected document (24hrs).

I build sustainable digital ecosystems for artists, DJs, and record labels. With a unique background as the Founder of Dreamify Records and a Bachelor’s in Information Technology, I offer a rare combination of creative intuition and technical precision. Having collaborated with major labels, I know exactly what top-tier industry standards look like, and I bring those exact tools, workflows, and growth strategies to independent artists and businesses. My Experience: As a Label Founder and Artist Manager, I have handled everything from A&R and sound engineering to executing global marketing campaigns that generated over 3 Million organic streams. I understand the hustle of building an artist's brand from the ground up because I have done it myself. I bring this same "founder mentality" to every project. Whether you need a 4-week release rollout, algorithmic Spotify growth, or viral short-form content, I have the integrated skillset to deliver.

From release strategies to Spotify Editorial pitching and PR outreach, I ensure your music actually reaches the right algorithmic audience and converts casual listeners into superfans. ✅ Social Media & Content Creation I turn raw studio sessions and live sets into high-retention short-form video (Reels, TikToks, Shorts). I handle the video editing, visual aesthetics, and copywriting to ensure your brand identity is consistent and compelling. ✅ Label & Music Business Management I handle the admin so you can focus on the art. I offer specialized support for artists and independent labels, including DSP distribution management (DistroKid, etc.), metadata optimization, split sheets, and overall digital ecosystem organization. Core Skills: Strategy: Spotify Growth, Release Rollouts, Brand Positioning. Creation: Short-form Video Editing, Visual Aesthetics, CapCut / Premiere Pro.
