As I come across the research, I will be putting more in the classroom labeled Music and AI - for future discourse, research, and information so we know it. Lots of legislation is being done regarding human creatives and we need to be aware of what is happening with our likeness with music. In the future, we will have a series of talks and I want to make sure we are properly informed, and not just emotional about our views on music and ai. Different perspectives might surprise some. Daniel James Collective

For those who need, here is much needed information that sums up the 4 videos I have posted on social and have within the Music and Ai classroom course within our skool community. Here is more information for you to have and see exactly what it covers, important information to take with you. Make sure you keep documentation of everything that is a qualifying recording expense and get your deductions ready. Also, do you track your milage for gigs, shows, weddings? Every deduction matters, every dollar matters when we are out here making this money and having to pay taxes on it. Know better, do better, do better, you are better. Daniel James

Here is some incredible information everyone should know about! I am posting about this in 5 parts on my social pages! Please spread the word. Read for yourself, be informed, save all your receipts and invoices for all music making purposes this year, and write them off up to 150k in tax breaks for next year! https://www.grammy.com/news/hits-act-signed-into-law/ https://www.taxnotes.com/research/federal/legislative-documents/proposed-legislation/help-independent-tracks-succeed-hits-act/2d8kt https://www.diy-music-guide.com/articles/what-is-the-hits-act Daniel James
