(#newnoisesb, #musicindustry, #artistadvice) It’s never been cheaper to distribute music, and recording costs are now fantastically inexpensive. That’s old news, but it looks like marketing costs are actually increasing, and the number of artists making ends meet remains depressingly slim. In fact, the latest finding shows that less than 30,000 artists are actually earning a living, according to stats shared by Topspin CEO Ian Rogers at New Noise Santa Barbara over the weekend.

What are you thoughts? I’d love to elaborate but have a (free) gig tonight…

hahahahahahahahahahaha did make me lol… but having said that how many people just release tracks with no promotion and are too inverted to actually make a showpiece of themselves?
i do think now we’re in a digital age that we’re in a situation where digital communication will have us all losing our ability to promote ourselves …
How many times have you apologised for a text message you have sent someone that to them has sounded not the way you have wanted it to sound ??
Lol yep
