Artist Assist

Real support. Industry experience. No gatekeeping.

Affordable, hands-on music industry help for artists who are building something — without the overhead of a full management deal.

Artist Assist exists because most of the industry's knowledge is locked behind expensive managers, label deals, and people who won't return your emails. It's a service under Sleepless LYFE Records LLC built to change that — giving emerging artists direct access to real music industry support at a price that makes sense for where they actually are.

Whether you need help with one task or ongoing monthly support, you get someone who has been inside the machine and knows how it works.

Why Ryan Galway
Ryan Galway is the founder of Sleepless LYFE Records LLC. .16+ years working inside the music industry — not adjacent to it.

He has worked as a tour manager on various tours, artist manager for Janet Gardner (Vixen) and The Amazing Kreskin. He has handled booking outreach, merchandise management press, release strategy, social media, artist development, and the operational side of being on the road for real acts at real scale.

He is also an active recording artist under the name Ryan & The Remedy, so he understands what it is to be on the other side of this — building something with limited resources and no team.

Artist Assist is what he would have wanted access to when he was starting out.

Label Distribution Deals

Sleepless LYFE Records LLC works with Symphonic Distribution to offer no-advance distribution deals for qualifying artists. You keep your masters. Revenue splits are structured across three tiers based on release history, streaming activity, and catalog size:
  • Tier 1: 90% artist / 10% label
  • Tier 2: 85% artist / 15% label
  • Tier 3: 80% artist / 20% label
  • These are not vanity label deals. If a distribution arrangement makes sense for where you are, we talk about it honestly. If it does not make sense, we say that too.
