The Death of the Middle Class Musician

It has always been hard to make a living off of music. Now, it is even harder.

Music is one of my biggest passions and so I always feel sad when I read articles like this one. Music is a hard industry to make a living in - it has always taken a mixture of talent, hard work and luck to make a living. But streaming was one blow and then Covid killed a lot of venues and changed touring.

And so the independent music that I love so much is being bled to death - victim of thousands of papercuts. I wish I could come up with a solution.
