In this course, entertainment attorney Amy Oraefo shares the foundational principles every emerging artist and creative must understand to build a sustainable career. Drawing from her global perspective as a Nigerian-American who has traveled to over 40 countries, Amy explains how ownership, education, and strategic thinking allow creatives to move beyond treating their craft as a hobby and begin treating it as a livelihood.

You’ll learn the two sides of copyright — master rights and composition, how music publishing works, and the key revenue streams available to creators including mechanical royalties, performance royalties, and synchronization licensing. Amy breaks down how deals are structured, why ownership matters, and how creators can position themselves to earn from their work repeatedly over time.

This course is designed to educate, empower, and equip emerging artists with the knowledge needed to protect their work, monetize their creativity, and build long-term impact in the creative economy.
