Artist Business Services

Professional infrastructure for independent artists building real careers.


At Derkey O. Ford Business Agency, we work closely with artists at various stages of growth. While we may not enter into long-term management or business affairs relationships with every artist, we believe every serious artist deserves proper structure, ownership, and guidance.

For that reason, we offer standalone business service packages designed to help independent and growing artists operate professionally, protect their intellectual property, and prepare for future opportunities without long-term commitments.

Who These Services Are For

These packages are built for:

  • Independent artists releasing music

  • Artists preparing for distribution, publishing, or partnerships

  • Artists building leverage before label or brand conversations

  • Artists transitioning from informal or DIY setups


If you are serious about your career, these services establish the foundation that the industry expects.
