Rytcel

The network that manages a musician's career. A hub connecting platform, consulting and community for artists across Latin America.

What it is

The mycelium of music

Rytcel is my most personal project on the professional side: a hub for musicians and bands across Latin America, born from my own experience as a musician. The metaphor is the mycelium: every artist is a thread and Rytcel is the underground network that connects them. It brings together a platform (that helps manage the career) and a consulting studio (real strategic guidance).

How it works

Two engines, one network

Platform

An RPG-style career map: the artist unlocks zones (fundamentals, craft, live, network, scale) by completing quests that an agent proposes.

Creative Suite

EPKs and dossiers ready for LATAM grants (FONDART and Ibermúsicas, Latin American public music funds), festival and label submissions. The independent musician's number one pain point.

Live Performance Engine

Backing tracks synced with MIDI and preset changes for the actual gear (Helix, Axe FX, Neural DSP).

Studio (consulting)

Strategic guidance billed by project or retainer, not formal management.

What I have done

What already exists

LATAM market research

Confirmed gaps nobody covers: EPKs for grants, festival submissions, tour routing, an integrated live engine.

Career framework

A checklist of 150+ variables across 20 categories to diagnose an artist.

Pilot case

A first real artist under guidance (pilot 0).

Built-in credibility

It comes from 7 years as a musician (a band with a recorded album) and from gear and touring lived for real.

Use cases

Use cases

My real experience as a musician and a pilot case, plus illustrative scenarios marked as examples.

Real · Amestra

Seven years in a band with an album

My own life as a musician, with a recorded album and tours, is the foundation of the hub.

Real · Pilot

First artist under guidance

A real pilot case of career consulting (pilot 0).

Example

A musician with no ISRC or SCD

Registering works and rights (ISRC codes and SCD, Chile's music rights society) so they can get paid for streaming and shows.

Example

No EPK to apply

Building the press kit for grants like Fondo de la Música (Chile's national music fund) and for festivals.

Example

Releasing tracks at random

A release calendar and audience strategy, not putting music out just to put it out.
