    There was never a golden era for artists and songwriters. Deals have always been structured to benefit labels.

    As an engineer I would advise ALL artists to have a lawyer present while signing any documents

    As an aspiring musician. The only way I see music being viable these days is to do it independently. Everything the record label offers these days can be done yourself. Artists now gotta diversify their skillsets to push out their songs.

    The music industry is truly DEMONIC. They do everything they can to push away those who are TRULY talented, in lieu of easily manipulatable, auto-tunable, no talent low lifes that can be controlled by the industry. Then, once in, the industry goes to great lengths to make sure the artist brings in the most profit, while they squelch their talent. And EVERYTHING comes out of the artists pocket : air travel, hotels, catering, payroll of the myriad people working for/with them, booking fees, manager fees, you name it. Then, because albums/records/CDs are now passe, the promotions team puts the artist on brutally long-winded tour dates, where they don&apos;t even have time to catch a breath between shows, which are usually back-to-back-to-back night after night, making the artist exhausted and soon worthless on stage. Then, when they&apos;re used up, and squeezed out, they&apos;re kicked to the curb to turn around and find a new sucker for the evil same ride. It looks oh-so-glamorous from the outside, but it&apos;s a nightmare for the artist once they&apos;ve made it. It&apos;s truly a wonder ANY artist can make any money at all the way things are nowadays.

    As a music producer, I can confirm this is all true.

    it&apos;s incredible how many artists don&apos;t view the &apos;album advance&apos; as a loan..

    One of the sad things is that artists have to spend more time being video producers and social media marketers now than just being artists, which is probably why most new music sucks now.
