Why Most Artists Don’t Make Money in the Music Industry

Описание: Why do most artists not make money in the music industry, even when they’re visible everywhere?
You can see an artist go viral, land on major playlists, tour, and build a following. From the outside, it looks like momentum. Inside the music business, money moves differently.
This episode breaks down how music money actually works.
Artist income does not move in a straight line. Revenue flows through distribution platforms, publishing administration, performance rights organizations, royalty splits, and accounting systems that operate on their own timelines. By the time a dollar reaches an artist, it has already passed through multiple layers.
Streaming increased visibility. It did not change ownership.
Music royalties arrive in fragments. At different times. From different systems. A song can be everywhere while the payment tied to it shows up months later, smaller than expected, or delayed entirely.
This is not about talent. It is about structure.
In this video: • How music royalties are routed
• Why streaming income feels disconnected from visibility
• Why touring does not always equal profit
• Why catalog ownership determines long term wealth
• The difference between attention and leverage
