RSSRevisit to Can New Up and Coming Artists Afford to Give Away Their Music For Free?
Jun 17
After lecturing a bunch of 14 – 17 year old teenagers on the future of the music industry last Thursday, I have had to revisit some of the opinions I outlined in my previous article focusing on this topic. Compounding this was a number of comments on that particular article and especially one from a high level English Music Promoter forcefully stating that my views were very “old school”. This same industry executive also went on to state that new and upcoming artists should be giving away their music for free in return for collecting fans email addresses.
