Si eres nuevo en mi canal, mi nombre es Alexiomar Rodríguez, soy abogado y socio fundador de Xiola. Somos una firma legal boutique para la industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Trabajamos con artistas, empresarios e inversionistas. Les ayudamos a negociar y cerrar contratos de seis y siete cifras. En 2025, conseguimos $5M para nuestros clientes sin sacrificar derechos, control, ni libertad.
Cómo llegué aquí…
0–21: Músico, productor, guitarrista y cantautor (+10,000 oyentes mensuales en Spotify).
22: Graduado con Altos Honores en Economía (UPRM).
24: Trabajé con jueces (federal y estatal) y firmas de litigio corporativo.
25: Graduado con Altos Honores en Derecho (UPR).
26: Renuncié a una de las top 3 firmas de Puerto Rico para lanzar Xiola.
27: Facturé mis primeros $100,000.
28: Fundé Seed Academy, escuela de music business en español.
29: Escribí un best seller en Amazon (De Artista a Empresario Musical) y superé $400K en revenue.
30: Me mudé a EE.UU., levanté $250,000 con Techstars + Warner + VC, y lancé Flou, software de contratos musicales ($50,000 en ventas).
31: Comencé a dar charlas internacionales.
32: Seguí el consejo de mi mentor, Alex Hormozi. Cerré Seed Academy y Flou. Me enfoqué en Xiola y facturamos más de $500,000.
Hoy: Nuestra firma ha cerrado sobre $5M en adelantos e inversión en la industria de la música y el entretenimiento. Somos 100% bilingües (español e inglés). Trabajamos con artistas, empresarios e inversionistas americanos e hispanos. Cobramos de tres maneras: tarifa fija, comisión, y suscripción. Así es como hacemos nuestro dinero. No vendemos cursos.
La industria musical es dura. Pero si naciste para esto, lo sabes:
La vida sin música sería un error.
No te quites,
Alexiomar

"I feel like seeing that proper emotion happen is something so special to me."
In this installment of ‘Story of a Setlist’, Australian artist Jael (@jaelwena) shares the emotional depth behind her music. She shares her strategy for structuring an emotional live performance, the one song she absolutely must include in every set, and why she ultimately wants her music to make people cry.
Don’t leave royalties on stage: Every time you perform at a PRS-licensed venue, remember to report your setlists to PRS for Music so we can make sure you get paid for your craft.

Over a span of a year with experimenting with short form performance videos, I grew Lyrics Born’s following from 20k to 200k+ on IG and 1.5k to 58k+ on TikTok. Our most viral videos didn’t take off until 6 months into our album promotion, after Snoop reposted the video for the first single.
I’ve heard every reason why artists don’t want to use social media or create content to promote their music. Yes, there are other options and routes you can take. But love it or hate it, social media is the powerful and scalable tool to market and promote your music. That’s just where technology has taken us.
It’s important to remember that content has always existed even before the Internet and social media. It has always been an important component of marketing music. Except, back in the days the artist would typically participate in the creation of content, or they would have the label handle and facilitate the content, i.e. music videos or radio/magazine interviews, so that the artist didn’t have to handle it.
But most artists today aren’t signed to a label so it’s expected that the artist need to do themselves or pay someone to do it. This necessity of content for promotion wasn’t created by social media, it only increased it and saturated it exponentially.
Marketing your music isn’t easy, but there is a path forward, for new and veteran artists, if you’re willing to experiment and be consistent with content.
