Drew sits down with Maurice Harmon of ShadeStar Enterprises which was built by artists, for artists. We understand the frustration of pouring heart and soul into your craft only to be undervalued by traditional streaming platforms. The current system isn’t designed to uplift creators—it’s built to profit from their work while offering little in return.

At ShadeStar Enterprise, we’re changing that narrative. Our mission is to give independent artists the freedom, control, and fair compensation they deserve. We believe your talent should take center stage—and your hard work should pay off.

ShadeStar Enterprise: Where creators own their future.
