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

Music Recognition Technology at Café del Mar Malta

Music Recognition Technology at Café del Mar Malta

Last year, we partnered with @cafedelmarmalta342 to introduce MRT to the venue. The results…

🎵 Over 11,000 individual tracks recorded
👥 By 1,500+ unique artists
🕒 From 500 hours of monitored sets

As Café del Mar’s Business Development Director Mark Pace explains, ensuring creators are accurately paid when their music is played is simply the right thing to do: ‘The artists are here, they produce music, and obviously it’s only fair that they get their fair share.’

A big thank you to the Café del Mar Malta team for working with us and embracing MRT.

We are continuing our partnership with DJ Monitor to onboard new clubs and venues with MRT both in the UK and Malta.
