How do you see the musicians’ reality nowadays? What could be improved?

Musicians are getting taken advantage of. We sign over our music, after we spent time to create it, practice it,record it,spend time and money, Then Spotify and others give it away and keep reducing the sale prices and keep the share of money they take. we get pennies or nothing at all. Music industry is killing all musicians.

What frustrates you most as a musician?

Music is soo subjective. there are great musicians that get no credit and there are weak musicians that get big credits. I'm told some of the weak ass musicians are some of the most savy internet users and are actually way better at marketing than at being a musician, and the great musicians have the weakest as computer skills, so what do we all end up with ?

What qualities should a musician nowadays have in order to get their music heard by a larger audience?

I talk with celebs about this, I hear it everywhere, firstly stage time has no substitute. Ya got to have good material and craft, most importantly is how your deliver to your audience, you have to speak to them on a personal level. I've been on a stage at least 500 times in 11 years, over time you get connection is what changes the energy in the room
