A MSG FOR EXPLOITED ARTISTS. so many years I didn’t have the money to tour & I always blamed myself. all along I’d never been given what was mine. artists are continuously taken advantage of & something needs to change.
I can totally relate.
I do music for an extremely low wage comparatively to most jobs people following me do.
I would rather take the lower money to continue doing what I love over more money to sit in an office doing something I don’t. The biggest threat to my lifestyle is the rising cost of living in the UK paired with the decline in venues and streaming revenues.
Mike Skinner said it best. It’s the hardest way to make an easy living.
