Streaming music is a great way to discover new music, but if you want indie artists to have the time, money, & emotional support needed to continue making new music, you need to purchase their music outright.
This is the last check I got from my distributor for all streaming royalties for the past 3 years. It’s “sandwich money” as Weird Al would say.

You can find my music available to purchase at https://kydia.bandcamp.com

@KydiaMusic bingo. And I only buy on Bandcamp Fridays so the artists get ALL the money. I love that.

@jake4480 well, we don’t get ALL the money. 😬 PayPal and CC’s still get their cut. But Bandcamp not taking their 15% is helpful, for sure.

@KydiaMusic Ugh PayPal. Don't get me started. If I didn't sell on eBay I'd be done with them

@KydiaMusic I remember back when Aloe Blacc wrote that huge hit song with Aviccii and then went to court cause he only made like $400 or something after millions of streams. lol

It's insane how streaming companies get away with paying artists so laughably little, despite the artists being the entire reason anyone uses the platform to begin with.
