Even if you lose a couple racks in the process , it’s necessary for artists to find that marketing funnel and dump riggity racks into it for their music. Even if it takes a year or 2 to save up the bread
Some artists I kno prolly think they’ve done everything they could to no avail, I say they’ve sold themselves short . Until at least half a billion people at once has heard your music, you are still in the game 😤
