Money from Music: The Industry Veteran Conversation
Pundits and prognosticators often surmise that today’s musicians and composers are living in an era of unparalleled opportunity. While it’s safe to say that musicians’ access to the marketplace has greatly improved, thanks to digital sales, social media, YouTube and the like, how have these changes impacted musicians’ ability to generate revenue based on their creative work? Almost all analyses of the effects of these changes rest purely on assumptions that they have improved musicians’ bottom lines. We hear often from record labels, music services, publishers, and entrepreneurs about the state of the music industry. Now it’s time to hear how musicians and composers themselves are navigating these enormous changes. In this conversation we will look at how revenue streams for an acclaimed soul singer who has worked in the industry for 50 years have and have not changed since the 60s, and the importance of transparency and reliable accounting for artists.
