What's the best musical advice someone gave you that changed how you play or create music?

So many artists are sitting on real talent and letting the wrong people, and the wrong deals talk them out of what they're actually worth.

You keep saying yes to what doesn't serve you because you believe the version of you that they sold to you.

Change that!

Physical media isn't dead. U.S. CD sales jumped 16% in the first half of 2026, with K-pop fan culture driving the majority of that growth, as collectors and superfans continue to buy physical editions regardless of streaming access.

Spotify announced in May that it is offering AI-generated voiceovers for advertisements on its platform, marketed as a cost-effective alternative to hiring voice actors.

This has drawn immediate backlash from the voiceover community.

There are no more excuses for not being discovered.
The only thing between you and an audience is whether what you're putting out is real enough to find them.

Stop waiting for the right moment.

Computer.
Decent mic.
A beat off YouTube. iTunes. Done, you're in the music business.

50 said it and it's really that simple in 2026.
The barrier to entry is basically gone.

Every time she starts an album she goes back and watches all her own performances.

Not to study competitors.
To study herself.

Stop watching what everyone else is releasing, go watch your own last performance and ask what you could've done better.

There are so many amazing singers.
Who just don't know who they are yet.

And no agency, consultant, and marketing strategy can hand them an identity.

Because if the brand isn't you deep down, it will fall off eventually.

People love to say the difference between an amateur and a professional is showing up whether you feel it or not.

And sure, that works for some people.

But this artist says if the mood is wrong, forcing it just kills the session.

Madrina has a message for upcoming artists.

"No amount of money, ignorance or desperation should make you sign your masters to a label in perpetuity. If you must make art, continuous knowledge and an entertainment lawyer should be your best friend."

A streaming service can mess with things, remove content, or just go away entirely.

U.S. vinyl sales topped $1 billion last year for the first time since 1983.
CD sales are creeping back up. And Spotify generation is buying records.

Spotify just called 2026 "the most nostalgic year" it has ever seen.

Most people are streaming songs from the 90s, more than the 80s AND the 2020s

Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean", topped BOTH Spotify's global chart and the Billboard Global 200

Spain's high court ruled that tax authorities failed to prove Shakira had spent the legally required 183 days in the country in 2011.

In 2026 there is almost no reason to sign a bad label deal.

Know what you're signing before you sign anything.

Save and retweet this, cos every unsigned artist needs to see it.

Difference between a distributor and a label (for independent artists)

A distributor gets your music on platforms, takes a flat fee or small %. You keep your masters.

A label advances your career, takes 50–80% of everything, owns your masters.
