Abstract
The Artist Contractor Model redefines what a label is. Instead of binding artists under exploitative contracts, Fifth House of Creativity Inc. activates them as independent contractors, fully empowered to own their work, scale wealth, and remain sovereign. It transforms the label from an extractor into an equity engine, leveraging proprietary AI, estate-backed IP systems, and regenerative distribution.
Assertions
The Artist Contractor Model positions itself as a correction to exploitative industry norms. It provides a framework for artists to maintain ownership, independence, and dignity while amplifying their reach through an integrated system.
– 100% artist ownership of works created independently.
– Full Fifth House ownership only when Amethyst contributes creatively.
– Model is bankable and scalable, already tested with seven active artists.
– Low overhead, high-yield system positioned in the multi-hundred-thousand CAD range annually in year one.
– Future valuation projected in the multi-million CAD scale over a 3–5 year trajectory.
Mechanics
Artists operate as independent contractors, utilizing proprietary AI-assisted production systems, branded platforms, merchandise pipelines, event/VR participation, and financial literacy mentorship. Full ownership remains with artists unless the company contributes creatively — in which case ownership transfers entirely to the label.
– Proprietary creative systems: AI-assisted music workflows, branded visual production, VR/AR activation, sync funnels.
– Revenue architecture: Distribution, sync licensing, merch bundles, Gravity Wealth events, VR showcases.
– Sovereign trust overlay: All IP tied to Fifth House vaults with clarity on ownership splits.
– Cross-integration with Red Mirror Radio, Ko-fi/Contrado merchandising, and sovereign curriculum systems.
Valuation
Year 1 projection positioned in the multi-hundred-thousand CAD range.
3–5 year projection positioned in the multi-million CAD scale.
Cadence scales with roster size: each new artist adds measurable annualized output.
Monetization
– Artist-owned IP (masters, publishing).
– Sync licensing for film, TV, VR, and brand campaigns.
– Merchandising and capsule collections.
– Estate-integrated live events and VR showcases.
– Branded partnerships and collaborations.
Governance
Contractor agreements detail clear IP clauses, ownership structures, and distribution/archival responsibilities.
Artists onboard as independent contractors (no employer–employee entanglement).
Ownership terms explicitly written into contracts.
Label functions as incubator, mentor, and infrastructure provider — not exploiter.
Sovereign compliance via IKWE Trusted alignment.
Compliance
Agreements align with legal frameworks for independent contractors, self-employment, and tax responsibility. IP is documented and registered through the label.
– Legal clarity: contractor agreements ensure artists file independently, while still gaining access to Fifth House systems.
– No reliance on external donors or venture capital — all flows are estate/IP backed.
– Trauma-free, equity-centered mentorship built into onboarding.
Risks & Mitigations
– Bank hesitation → solved with ledgered valuation ranges and executed contracts.
– Scaling bottleneck → solved by AI-first workflows and estate infrastructure.
– Industry skepticism → offset with proof of active roster and contract enforcement.
