First Monday of the month, hit the new Hum Love playlist on Spotify and Apple
Whenever Spotify and music streaming are in the news there ends up being a rehash on social media about how music streaming doesn’t pay artists enough.
But I’ve never read a post from an artist who has taken the time to outline how much per stream would in fact be fair, along with supporting information.
And if you’re an artist with a label deal it gets even more complicated because it’s likely you signed a contract where you agreed to give most or all of your streaming revenue until you recoup.
Should Spotify increase the amount paid to artists per stream? I don’t know. But you can only complain about it so long before you become responsible for offering a solution, accepting reality or become known as the artist who complains.
Your solution can’t just be ‘more’.
