You have the audience. Nobody's building the business underneath it.
Every drop lives and dies in 48 hours. No narrative for DSPs to playlist, nothing for press to write about.
The AWAL deal gets the music onto platforms, but nobody's running playlist strategy, sync pitching, or conversion.
1.9M people watch. Almost none stream, save, or buy.
There's a massive vacuum in queer alternative music — the heavy, real, un-sanitized side. The artists who held that space went pop or lost credibility.
The sound is already unique. The work is telling the story behind it and defining the image — so the music lands with meaning, not just noise.
With Alina Pasok, Jayden becomes a figure, not just a sound — a recognizable identity across every release.
Fill the space with so much real music and identity that she becomes the default name in queer alt-rock.
Spotify monthly listeners. The floor, not the ceiling — hit by the third single, not a year out. 4x current, fast.
A full rollout press can actually cover.
Horror / dark TV / teenage dramas.
The right entry point once the audience and album are real.
Establish the era. Test audience + algorithm. Learn which TikTok angle converts to streams.
Double down on what worked in June. Lock the visual identity. First playlist pitches go out.
Biggest playlist push. The streaming-growth single — aim for editorial adds.
Open the pre-album press window. First tier-2 features land here.
Final tease. Pre-saves for the album. Peak anticipation.
Full waterfall payoff. All 5 singles + new tracks = catalog depth + a press moment.
A cohesive visual world and signature for Jayden Hammer — not random one-off videos.
Alina builds the look, the recurring visual language, the identity that makes every release instantly recognizable. Director behind Little Big's most iconic visuals.
Full catalog audit, analytics deep-dive, fix the TikTok→Spotify funnel, lock the June 26 single plan.
Editorial + algorithmic playlist pitching is the focus. Press comes later — too early to pitch features now.
Map singles 2–5, lock visual identity with Alina, set the content calendar through January.
