Submission prep for songwriters & producers
Most songs don't fail on talent. They fail on paper — an unkeyed identity, a split that doesn't add up, a catalog nobody can prove. Music Business Genie puts a five-employee AI team on your business before it ever reaches H Factor Music Group: identity keyed, catalog complete, paper signed, money counted — and then, past the gate, distribution that only pushes music that can actually be paid for.
Start with the free Readiness Scan See a worked example
The Readiness Scan is free. It shows you the first checkpoint — where the writer layer breaks — before any plan is sold. What you have when the team is done: a verified identity record in your own name; a complete, split-true catalog of your works by title; signed paper for every arrangement that was previously a handshake; a counted royalty picture with a Submission Readiness Score; and — when the score passes the gate — a submission packet in front of a real publishing company.
Onboarding
One tap first, a short description second, and then you meet the five who will work your file — in the order they'll work it. After that, Ida's intake opens the free Readiness Scan, in the same sitting.
Pick the chair you sit in. The team shapes its questions around it — a producer's catalog and a songwriter's catalog break in different places.
A short capture so the team knows where to start digging. Keep it rough — rough is what they're for.
Ida will reconcile this against your legal name form.
Affiliated but invisible in the data is the most common starting point the team sees.
Booker counts what's actually there, not what the dropdown says.
Tap all that apply. Sylvia reads whatever exists — and names what doesn't.
Your file moves down one line, in one order. Each teammate finishes their piece and hands it to the next — nobody skips the line, because every later step spends what the earlier steps prove.
Ida starts with your name. Here's why: if the writer isn't one person in the data, nothing built on top of the record can hold. Her intake is the free Readiness Scan — your first checkpoint, read in estimate.
Purpose: establish the one legal name form, the one affiliation, and the one IPI your whole business will be keyed to. Everything else in your file hangs off this page.
One rule governs every intake here: "I don't know" is always an acceptable answer — a guessed answer never is. And never type a Social Security number into any intake on this site. It is never asked for.
The Roster
Original AI teammates, each built for one seat and one output. They carry heritage names on purpose: this roster is named for the tradition of writers and owners who kept their paper — and the work is teaching every client to do the same. In this first season the five work as guided intakes in their own voices — you answer in their order, they score and assemble, and the house reviews every file.
Seat 1 of 5
Ida goes first because everything downstream spends her work. If the writer isn't one person in the data, nothing built on top of the record can hold.
Seat 2 of 5
Booker builds the book: every composition the client has a hand in, found and listed by title — including the ones sitting in drafts, voice memos, and old accounts.
Seat 3 of 5
Sylvia turns Booker's list into enforceable paper. A catalog that isn't papered is a story; a catalog that is papered is an asset.
Her doctrine: adoption is not assignment. Being treated as the publisher is not the same as being assigned the publishing — the paper has to say it.
Seat 4 of 5
Curtis counts what the catalog is actually doing — and says, in one number, whether the file is ready to submit or what stands between it and ready.
Seat 5 of 5 · Past the gate
James distributes from the owner's chair. He doesn't beg for reach — he starts from media the house owns, the way an owner of stations works his own records: the tower first, then everything else.
And James is relentless about the songs. He loves the music and works it like it matters — but his relentlessness runs on the other four's discipline. Attention spent on music that can't be collected isn't promotion; it's a donation.
His rule: he only pushes fully fundable assets — keyed, split-true, registered, papered.
Worked Example
This is what Curtis's desk actually looks like on a real-shaped file. The example is anonymized — the shape is the lesson. This demo recalculates on this page; a real file is scored by Curtis from the evidence in it.
Anonymized demo file
A battle rapper who did what writers are told to do: affiliated with a PRO and registered his battles as works — titles in head-to-head "— VS —" form. And yet in the public writer data, he has zero writer lines. Affiliation without keying is a door with no name on it.
PRO-affiliated — yes · 41 registered works · 3 unsubmitted drafts · 0 writer lines in public data
The gate stays closed until the checkpoints below are lit. Try the unlocks — this demo recalculates live.
Affiliated but unkeyed. With zero writer lines in the public data, the dark-checkpoint rule is engaged: this checkpoint cannot score what it cannot see, no matter how real the affiliation is.
41 works claimed, few evidenced outside his own account — and 3 drafts still unsubmitted, invisible to everyone including the people who would pay for them.
Splits unread on every "— VS —" work — a battle has two voices in it, and nobody has read who owns which share. Checkpoint capped until the league contract is read: it may already decide who owns battle content.
The picture is mapped honestly, and most of it is dark: with no keyed identity and unread splits, earnings have no proven road home.
● Closed on this file — James won't push this catalog yet
Not because the music isn't strong — because none of it is fully fundable today. Unkeyed writer, unread splits, an unread league contract: every stream James won for these battles would pay into the dark.
"A stream won for unpapered music is money earned for the black box."
The Plan
Above the plan stands the free Readiness Scan — it sells nothing and works no file; it shows you the fall. The plan is the paid prep behind it. Attainment — filings made and claims pressed in your name — stays behind enrollment with HFMG, as it always has.

The Enrollment Fence
This platform prepares filings — packets assembled, forms completed, paper ready to sign. Nothing is filed in anyone's name without enrollment. The team does the preparation in the open, where the client can see every page; the act of filing happens only behind the enrollment gate, in the client's name, with the client's authority.
Prepared is not filed, and filed is not attained.
