Artist Results

An all-in-one music business platform for independent artists, built by mile.dev and handed over to the client's own AI-assisted team.

Overview

Artist Results is a music business platform for independent artists. It brings press kits, a media library, email marketing, social media scheduling, fan contacts, and merch into one place, so artists can stop paying for and juggling a long list of separate tools.

The platform comes from the same founders behind AnthemCRM, a custom CRM mile.dev has built and maintained since 2021. They are musicians themselves and use Artist Results for their own music. In May 2025 they asked mile.dev to design and build it from the ground up.

The Challenge

Independent artists run a small business, but the tools for it are scattered: one service for the press kit, another for email, another for social posts, another for files and contacts.

This meant:

Monthly fees for many separate tools
Songs, videos, and photos spread across services
Fan and industry contacts in different places
No single view of reach and results

The goal was one platform for the business side of music, and a codebase the founders could keep developing themselves after launch.

What We Built

Electronic press kit creator with media players and live audience stats

Media library for albums, songs, videos, and images, with rights and metadata

Email marketing with a drag-and-drop builder, templates, reports, and a calendar

Social media scheduling and publishing across the major platforms

Contacts, press coverage, tours, and marketing automations

Subscription plans and payments with Stripe, plus a manager view across artists

Artist Results EPK pages for artist, album, and song press kits

Artist Results email marketing: HTML and text emails from templates

Architecture and Delivery

Artist Results runs as a Next.js web app on top of a Django REST API, with Celery workers handling scheduled social posts, email sends, and audience stats in the background. Media lives in Amazon S3, data in PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS, and every release goes through separate development and production pipelines.

Senior engineers owned the architecture, security, and code quality throughout. When our team moved to AI-assisted development, this project moved with it. Before handing over, we prepared the codebase for the founders' own AI-assisted work: documented project and deployment rules, protected CI configuration, and a production guard that takes a database snapshot before any migration is deployed.

Celery and RabbitMQ for scheduled posts, emails, and stats

Integrations with Stripe, SendGrid, Beefree, Ayrshare, Chartmetric, and Google

AI-ready handover: documented rules and guardrails for AI coding assistants

Outcome

Artist Results launched in late 2025 and is live at artistresults.com, with plans for independent artists, managers, and labels.

After launch, the founders took development in house, working with AI coding assistants on the foundation and rules we prepared. Since the handover in mid 2026, their own team has shipped a merch store, merch booth and ticketing, playlists and galleries, song registration, and an AI writing assistant, on the same architecture.

mile.dev stays on a retainer. We check the platform regularly and are on call when something goes wrong, whether that is an outage, a bad deploy, or a database restore.

Why we handed it over

We do not see AI-assisted development as a threat to our work. We use it every day, and we think clients should be able to use it too. A good handover today means more than documentation: it means a codebase, rules, and guardrails that let a small team and its AI tools keep shipping safely.

Built by mile.dev, now developed by the founders' own AI-assisted team on the foundation we prepared.
