Protecting Creativity in the Age of AI: A Music Rights Crash Course with Juan Sebastián Aguilar

In this episode, we’re joined by Juan Sebastián Aguilar – composer, electric guitarist, and publishing specialist – whose career bridges the worlds of music creation and the business systems that sustain it. Originally from Colombia, Juan’s journey has taken him from jazz stages in Bogotá and Mexico to music industry leadership in Berlin, where he now heads Publishing at Paradise Worldwide. Alongside his own ensemble Arrabalero, he has toured internationally, performed at major festivals, and developed a deep understanding of how to protect and monetize creative work on a global scale.

We talk about the entrepreneurial mindset as a powerful driver in today’s music industry, the key lessons from Juan’s musical path from Colombia to New Orleans to Berlin, and why understanding music rights is essential for every artist. Juan also gives us a Publishing 101 crash course and shares his thoughts on the fast-approaching challenges and opportunities of AI in music rights management.
