Reality Check — Show Me The Money
A recent song: 26 million streams in one month.
It won’t buy me a house. It will just about cover one month’s rent.
Most people don’t realise this. Millions of plays and the person who wrote it, recorded it and owns every note walks away with less than a month’s wages.
That’s not an exaggeration. That’s the actual number.
Streaming was sold as the future for artists and fans alike.
What it became was a system that profits from music without fairly paying for it.
Every play — fractions of a penny, if that.
Buying music directly is the only thing that actually reaches the person who made it.
Major Label Relaunch.
I use a pen to write with, a number of instruments to compose with, I wear reading Glasses, a mobile phone, G.P.S I use a tape recorder, a music studio, thousands of pounds worth of equipment and virtual instruments. Large mounts of time and money on session players and technicians and learnt to do most of it myself. NOW
I use A.I to assist in research and Post production based on my lyrics and melody, Its steered by me and has streamlined the production process to an amazing degree. Its ripping off Human creativity, in some cases the models have not been ethical and thats wrong.
To my Mind the songs now have the life they deserve, go follow and help build a Network
