Welcome to Tavalonic Blog - a Music Creators' Business Blog

Welcome to Tavalonic Blog, a dedicated space for at-home music producers, composers, songwriters, and artists. Whether you are just starting, or aiming to refine your craft, this blog is your go-to resource for the art of music-making and the essential business side of running a successful online operation.


The world of music production is filled with layers of complexity. Many online resources detail the creative and technical aspects of making music, but there is often less focus on the business side. This blog seeks to bridge that gap by emphasizing practical business matters and sharing insights that can help you thrive as a music producer.


Sharing Knowledge


One of our main objectives is to foster a culture of knowledge-sharing among music creators. Every successful creator knows that learning never truly stops; there's always something new to explore. The landscape of music creation is ever-changing, presenting us with everything from emerging technologies like AI-assisted music tools to evolving sources of income.


However, many discussions overlook the business strategies that help musicians sustain their creative work over time. By sharing insights from both personal experiences and careful research, this blog aims to empower you with the knowledge needed to navigate the intricacies of running an at-home music business.


Practical Business Focus for Music Creators


In addition to addressing a variety of topics relevant to independent music creators, I bring unique insights to topics such as business operations, organization tools, tax obligations, copyright law, and royalty management. These subjects are foundational to ensuring your business thrives. For instance, understanding all relevant royalty streams can significantly impact your income.


Throughout this blog, I will break down complex legal topics into accessible information. You will find straightforward guidance tailored to meet the needs of at-home creators like you.

Building a Community


This blog serves as a platform for information sharing, but I envision it as a vibrant community where readers can engage and learn from one another. Creating music is often a solitary pursuit, but it does not have to be. I encourage you to share your insights and experiences in the comments. Your perspective could provide valuable wisdom for someone else facing similar challenges.


Sharing knowledge is crucial, not just for personal growth, but also for enriching our entire community. By collaborating and discussing topics that matter to us, we create a supportive network that can propel us forward.
