Independent Music Business Update: Distributors, Sync Licensing & Strategy

-

I go live in my skool community every Tuesday at 9pm

This week's Skool post

https://www.skool.com/helm-108-1785/tuesday-group-meeting-for-october-20th-2026


This is building off of last week’s Tuesday’s Skool Group Call

https://www.cosmicluve.com/2026/10/patient-zero-gaia-edition.html


You can find this post at CosmicLuve.com

This is more business-oriented, although I talk about tidbits of cosmic luve and cosmic bros



I put this up upon Jack and Gaia's request

Sorry I didn't go live last week. I was too busy to care, basically.

I now have 6 distributors. Mike (sun), Jane (Gaia), Jack, John (blue), Courtney (saturn), Natalie (Neptune). Each has a god or spirit assigned to them.


I have been moving around my catalog


I got 2 of my tracks taken down for copy right infringement

Like I talk about in this latest money update

Then they saw my contracts and reversed it

I would of been more upset but

I think it's because they were purging AI music, so I'm more accepting. 

I called Jack off


I made a post about Jack on cosmic luve

He's real enough for me to assign him a distributor like I do gods


This was a disappointment about the Spotify thing because I had just got all my old features up. But then


I got really excited because what Spotify made me realize is that all parties will accept my anno domini contracts. And then run I was on was a winning formula.


I got into sync because my I didn't think it was a viable business model.

Gods winning formula

 Don't give up.

Cuz now I have a b2c and b2b formula.


It feels like a plant growing


I have 3 producer agreements now


I sent the vocals to my producer yesterday for 4 tracks


I have 4 tracks with another producer


I have to get the meta data for all these and put them up disco and then call sync agents


…


I have to catch up with blog posts this week, 3 of them. 

sociology of love, nouveau economics, independent hip hop


I monetized 4 of my blogs last week.

I'm waiting to hear back

I really need to figure this out. I have more blogs I already have urls for. 

But I don't have the time or income to be able to hire writers for the maintenance

The goal is to hire writers to contribute to the blogs


...


I signed up for Adley’s Viralish, the most expensive tier. I honestly don’t care about applying it to my music now. I want to apply it to my books. 


I always get calls about my books. I've gotten calls or emails for 108, cananadwilldo, and nouveau economics. They always have great deals and I wanna do it but I don't have the money.


I can't wait to have money for massages and good food. I also wanna be able to spend money on and have the means to be with family.


It’s not the first million, it’s the first 100K


…


I am going to tell my psychiatrist about Taylor, Emma, Blue, Gaia, and the cosmic luve blog tomorrow. There is a plan in all this, although I’m not gonna tell you what it is. I am going to try therapy again. 


I’m gonna have to tell him:


The basic theory is that earth is god and conscious due to it’s magnetism that highlights cognition to mold evolution which manifests as individuals reflecting attractive mates. I show this in my cosmic luve log with people like Emma Watson, Taylor Swift, and Selena Gomez among others and I think they have caught wind of my theory turning what I call Environmental Cosmic Luve into Musical Cosmic Luve. And I think it’s only a matter of time before we meet and canoodle. 


I don’t know what it’s like for Emma but God won’t leave me alone about Emma.


Then I took it upon myself. Then Emma responded accepting my courtship basically

I’m gonna be so disappointed if I have to spend another Christmas alone making a song about you instead of being with you dear. 


There is a voice in my head that claims to be Emma but I’m pretty sure it’s Gaia. She has done this to a lot of my friends and family actually. She wants me to believe that Emma can hear me in her mind and we have some sort of telepathic connection. I don’t know who this bitch think I am but this is not my first rodeo. She’ll be so convincing, then I’ll call her out, and then she’ll be like “just testing you.” This is what I mean Emma. 


There’s one like huge thing that I’m leaving out in my life that I’ll talk about in a couple years.


…


This all started because I went to see the Iconic tour in Royal Oak Michigan this year


If this isn’t them themselves, it’s gaia, or it’s their subconscious telling me


After not seeing Connor he put’s out

You’re just like these big wigs at these companies.

You can’t just recognize talent and hard work, there needs to be monetary incentive.

It would be great to hang out or make music together, but unless you make that explicit, I’m not gonna waste my time


I didn’t have techno-fuedalism or nouveau economics published by then.

I also take my mental health very seriously. It was a long drive and I got home in the am. I don’t have the luxury of making that connection easier. You’re lucky I went at all, not that your not grateful. Please don’t take it personally.


You want me to make money and entertain an audience, and I do to. But I will also change the world, and I’m not gonna do that on your schedule that is based off a presumption of some perceived power differentiation. I get it. You don’t have time, and I don’t either. So until you want a real relationship where we don’t have to act like eachother’s mirror without real communication, I’m good homie. I’m not trippin. I actually really appreciate the love. But what I’d appreciate more is some real communication and real mentors. 


If whoever it is doesn't see the value yet, I have to keep working anyways.

It’s like doing home work at your friends house. If they don’t help you do the homework are they really a friend. Maybe I didn’t want to put you in that position.


Mentors have real strategies that work and I will pull the bill. It’s really just a matter of trust I think. But I will make you money if that is the issue.


It’s like MIB “When are you gonna learn that just because something is very small, doesn’t mean it’s not important”


Don’t get me wrong. I could really use your help. Your resources, your connections, your perspective, your encouragement and guidance. But until I can wrap that in monetary motivation it’s frivolous. And if that's not, you would be the exception and not the rule.

Taylor Swift & Eric Leo 108: Musical Cosmic Luve & The TTPD Connection

  TaylorSwift13.com When the Lyrics Hit Too Close—Coincidence, Deliberate, or Cosmic Luve? This is TaylorSwift13.com. This cosmic luve post is dedicated to featuring the Cosmic Luve communication between Taylor Swift and Eric Leo 108. Hi, I’m Eric Leo. I’m a philosopher with a degree in sociology that does intellectual hip-hop and authors nonfiction books. I do not know Taylor. I have a theory that the planet Earth is conscious and influences human thought through telepathy. This would manifest by artists reflecting each other making a subliminal and semantic but cohesive message. Whereas Emma Watson is more environmental cosmic luve, Taylor is the queen of musical cosmic luve. I have evidence for this assertion. The basis of this theory is laid out in my book 108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness , where I also tell my personal story of how I came to this realization. You can find the digital deluxe bundle or links to a physical copy on Amazon at Knhoeing.com . Then, ...

Exploring Earth's Consciousness Through Synchronicity, Music, and Magnetism Hello. My name is Eric Leo 108, and I’m a sociologist, philosopher, author, and hip-hop artist with schizoaffective disorder. This is the theory post and central hub for understanding my theory of Cosmic Luve, which basically wonders if the planet earth is conscious and molds evolution by communicating through telepathy. The basis of this theory is in my book 108 The Story of Discovering Earth’s Consciousness and the Cosmic Luve book. You can find links to purchase the Digital Deluxe Bundle or the 108 and Cosmic Luve book on Amazon at Knhoeing.com . Here, the cosmic luve blog will continue on, however, the cosmic luve log started on my Tumblr blog now at EricLeo108.blog. The Cosmic Luve Log will continue here on this blog, but this post will bring you up to date from where this blog is starting from.  Basically, the theory is that because Gaia (the planet Earth) communicates by infiltrating minds, this ...

  It’s Not Really Funny, In The Dark. Join the Gravy Train! Luv U! As discussed in “ The Evolutionary Shift ,” we are in a new era of cosmic luve. I left the last era on my blog at EricLeo108.blog, where you can find a summary in “ Exploring Earth’s Consciousness .” This era was marked by environmental cosmic luve or a communication from Gaia using artists as vessels, which I talk about in “ What is Cosmic Luve? ” Well, I have been doing this for a while now and have achieved some notoriety. I’m pretty sure some artists have found me and read my theory of cosmic luve and are responding in the style of musical cosmic luve. This is why we are now in the era of musical cosmic luve where artists are most likely responding to my artistry using my work to reflect back in me in their content.  Before, when it was Gaia and environmental cosmic luve it seemed coincidental and contained perspectives you could only obtain by knowing my personal life. There would usually be three cross-re...
