Let’s strip the issue we are solving down to its essence—how did record labels manage to monopolise control over artists?

The answer is simple: they owned the channels that made music accessible to the masses. Since the late 1800s and early 1900s, they controlled the systems that connected artists with audiences, leaving creators with no choice but to sign contracts stacked against them.
Fast forward to today, and history is repeating itself. Streaming platforms like Spotify dominate the industry, offering no real alternatives for artists. Once again, creators are forced into one-sided agreements because they lack leverage.
But what if we could break this cycle? What if we built a playback and streaming platform controlled & designed to empower both artists and consumers? It’s time to redefine the system.

Creative Professionals generate over $87 billion worth of inputs to other industries , with increasing demand year upon year
Creative skills are essential for economic growth, innovation, and future job creation. Despite this, there is a lack of support for creative fields, which could hinder their continued contribution to the economy. Many of the fastest-growing industries employ a high proportion of workers with creative qualifications. Industries such as Professional, Scientific/Medical and Technical Services, Rental, Hiring and Real Estate Services, and Information, Media and Telecommunications have experienced significant growth and rely heavily on creative skills. Recent studies indicate that 'creativity' is the most significant predictor for an occupation's potential to grow as a percentage of the workforce by 2030. Creative skills are also crucial for innovation-intensive industries. The share of creatively qualified employees is higher in industries that are innovative, such as Information, Media and Telecommunications, Retail Trade, and Arts and Recreation Services. These industries rely on creative inputs to produce final output, with the Professional, Scientific and Technical Services sector alone using around $12 billion worth of creative inputs.
10s of Billions in Economic Loss

What is Art Costing The Economy?:

Labels control over 70% of the industry
The "Big Three" labels control over 70% of the industry, dictating terms through exploitative contracts, taking up to 90% of artists' earnings, and acting as gatekeepers to production, marketing, and distribution. This is still reflective of the monopolistic nature of the creative industries, with Spotify owning 41.2 per cent of the streaming market share allowing them to exploit Artists and their creative assets to offset their unprofitable business model.
Did You Know?
In the late 19th century, record labels emerged as key players in the music industry, responsible for production, distribution, and promotion. The Gramophone Company, founded by Emile Berliner in 1897, was a pioneer, popularizing recorded music globally. Early labels like Edison Records and Odeon Records shaped the industry by revolutionizing music production and distribution, but they also set problematic precedents for artist treatment. Contracts often gave labels exclusive rights to artists' recordings, limiting creative control and providing inadequate financial compensation. Artists typically received minimal royalties, with labels taking 50-90% of profits. In the 1920s, Louis Armstrong's contract with Okeh Records exemplified these power dynamics. While it expanded his audience, it restricted his creative control and artistic freedom, highlighting the industry's exploitation of artists.

95% of all music will never reach your ears
This is because only a tiny percentage of artists (around 5%) are signed by major labels, which control the industry's marketing, distribution, and exposure pipelines. The rest are left to struggle in obscurity, unable to afford the tools, time, or resources to share their work with the world. That means consumers are missing out on countless potential favorites because the system stifles creativity.
Did You Know?
The music industry is a complex ecosystem involving artists, producers, labels, and fans, driven by technological advancements like the printing press, phonograph, radio, and digital streaming. It transforms music into a commercial enterprise through mass production, distribution, and consumption. Key players include: Artists: Create music. Record Labels: Produce and distribute music. Music Publishers: Manage song rights and royalties. Concert Promoters: Organize live events. Talent Agents: Negotiate deals. Streaming Services: Provide digital music platforms. Music Licensing Companies: Handle commercial rights. Performance Rights Organizations: Collect royalties for public performances. Music Retailers: Sell physical and digital music products. Consumer preferences and consumption patterns influence trends, market demand, and the industry's direction. Each entity plays a unique role, collectively shaping the music production and consumption landscape.

Artists make
less then $1, For
every $10 you spend
Platforms like Spotify pay artists as little as $0.003 per stream and funnel the majority of profits toward major labels and platform operations. So while you might think your streaming subscription supports your favorite artists, the reality is that most of your money never makes it to the people creating the music you love.
Did You Know?
Streaming services generate 89% of the music industry's revenue, with global subscribers surging from 304.9 million in early 2019 to 616.2 million by mid-2022. This growth is led by Spotify, which commands a significant 30.6% market share, with 210 million subscribers and 515 million active users as of 2023, followed by Apple Music at 13.7 per cent, Tencent Music at 13.4, and Amazon at 13.3 per cent. By 2022, music streaming revenue reached $17.5 billion, an approximate 34 times increase from $0.4 billion in 2010 to $13.6 billion in 2020, reinforcing the impact of digital platforms on industry economics. Users have also deepened their engagement, averaging over 20 hours and 6 minutes of streaming per week, indicating the integration of music streaming into everyday life. Spotify's dominance, with a substantial lead over Apple Music (30.6% compared to 13.7%), highlights its effective strategy in capturing and maintaining a diverse user base,
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, punk rock emerged as a rebellious movement challenging music industry norms. Bands like The Buzzcocks, Crass, and Dead Kennedys self-released their music on independent labels or through DIY methods, recording on low budgets and distributing through independent stores, mail order, and live shows. Following punk, the indie rock scene in the 1980s and 1990s embraced a DIY ethos, with bands like Sonic Youth, Pixies, and Fugazi rejecting mainstream commercialization. They released music through independent labels or self-released methods, recording in unconventional spaces and prioritizing raw expression. Indie labels like Sub Pop, Matador Records, and Dischord Records supported these artists, providing platforms for creative control and direct fan connections. Indie rock bands used alternative distribution channels, selling music at concerts, through mail-order, and via fanzines and independent radio. They emphasized live performances and touring, building grassroots followings. This movement influenced genres like alternative rock and grunge, with many indie bands eventually achieving commercial success. The late 1990s and early 2000s saw a shift with digital technologies, leading to digital distribution platforms like iTunes, Spotify, and Bandcamp. These platforms empowered artists to self-publish, retain ownership, and earn higher royalties, democratizing the industry. Early streaming services like Rhapsody and Last.fm revolutionized music consumption, with Rhapsody popularizing subscription-based models and Last.fm offering personalized recommendations. However, legal challenges arose, with platforms like Napster facing significant legal issues.
Despite this...
Did You Know?
Independent Artists account for 46.7% of the market generating $14 billion
This significant market share highlights the growing influence and economic impact of independent artists in the music industry. Despite this success, the current industry structure often fails to adequately support these artists. Many independent musicians struggle with financial instability, as they must self-finance their music production, promotion, and touring without the backing of major labels. Additionally, the complex and often opaque royalty structures of streaming platforms can make it difficult for independent artists to earn a sustainable income from their work.
Learn More About The Problem Below




01. Market Shift and Independent Musicians
The global music industry is experiencing a seismic shift. Independent musicians now account for 46.7% of the market, generating over $14 billion in 2023—a larger market share than the "Big 3" recording labels: Universal Music Group (32%), Sony Music Entertainment (20%), and Warner Music Group (16%). Despite this growing influence, the system remains heavily skewed against independent artists, leaving them struggling to make a sustainable living while their work fuels an industry worth $26 billion globally. In the USA, the average income for musicians is less than $25,000 annually, and in Australia, it’s as low as $6,000. Artists often juggle multiple low-paying jobs with no job security, healthcare, or retirement benefits, making it nearly impossible to focus on their craft.
05. Music Distribution Challenges
The most concerning element of Spotify’s business model which investors seem to overlook, is that the major streaming sites do not own the assets their business model revolves around. Streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music outsource the management of their music libraries to third-party services such as TuneCore or DistroKid. Independent musicians use these distributors to upload their music, reaching a broader audience. Notably, Spotify has taken a strategic step by acquiring a minority stake in DistroKid, signalling an interest in further monetizing this aspect of their business. This arrangement benefits both the streaming platform and independent artists by streamlining the music upload process and potentially creating new revenue streams.However, music distribution platforms present several challenges for independent artists. The market is oversaturated, making it difficult for artists to stand out among numerous releases. The lack of personalized support and guidance can hinder artists in navigating the complexities of music distribution and promotion. Additionally, some platforms may have hidden fees or unclear royalty structures, impacting artists' earnings. The competitive nature of these platforms also makes it challenging for artists to gain visibility and reach a wider audience without significant marketing efforts or industry connections.
09. Reliance on Freelance and Independent Contractors
The reliance on freelance and independent contractors in the music industry leads to instability, insecurity, and a lack of support. Freelance musicians often face inconsistent income, limited access to benefits like healthcare or retirement plans, and the burden of managing all aspects of their careers without traditional employment resources. This can lead to exploitation, as artists may accept low-paying gigs or unfavorable contracts due to industry competition. Financial insecurity, job instability, and challenges in sustaining a long-term career are common. Without the protection and advocacy of traditional employment arrangements, freelance musicians and independent contractors struggle to assert their rights, negotiate fair compensation, or address labor exploitation. This lack of collective bargaining power exacerbates inequalities and vulnerabilities, making it difficult for individual artists to thrive in the music business.
02. Historical Dominance and Exploitation
For decades, the music industry has been dominated by monopolistic power centers that impose unfair terms on creators, exploit their intellectual property, and take the lion's share of revenues. The "Big 3" control over 70% of the industry, acting as gatekeepers to production, marketing, and distribution. Their business model has historically relied on exploitative contracts, taking between 50% and 90% of an artist's earnings while restricting their creative freedom and long-term revenue potential.
06. Increase recogition and deamnd of Digital Assets
The recognition of creative assets as a valuable, in-demand attribute is highlighting the importance of nurturing creative talent, yet streaming platforms and distributors are failing to invest into their artists that create and subsided the assets they profit from. In the 90s, the digital recordings and distribution gave opportunities for artists to become independent but in the modern era the largest capitalist organisations, like Apple & Spotify, have bypassed the mediating institutions like local venues, radio stations, record shops, independent labels, and created another form of control over consumer assumption.
10. Declining Revenue Streams
Musicians face a multifaceted challenge as income from selling creative assets, such as studio recordings and live performances, declines due to reduced music retail sales and lower attendance at large festivals. This decline directly impacts revenue streams, as traditional album sales have decreased with the shift towards digital streaming and downloading. Similarly, reduced festival attendance affects musicians who rely on live performances for a significant portion of their earnings, as these events are not only income sources but also crucial for exposure and building fan bases. As traditional revenue sources diminish, musicians must adapt to alternative income streams such as merchandise sales, licensing deals, brand partnerships, and crowdfunding. However, these avenues may not always provide a sustainable solution to offset the income lost from declining music sales and live performances. Consequently, music has become intertwined with the marketing industry, as it can no longer sustain itself solely through selling music and live shows without corporate sponsorship.
03. Unethical Practices and Artist Exploitation
04. Spotify's Dominance and their Unprofitable Business Model
The ability to share digital media files, which can be reproduced and distributed by anyone, has created 'winners' and 'losers' in the new global market. Traditional power centers (e.g., record labels, A&R, record store chains, commercial and print media) that homogenized consumer tastes by promoting specific one-hit wonders or artists have been disrupted.
New power centers, such as Spotify, now control individual music tastes through sophisticated recommendation algorithms and sell vast quantities of personalized data to benefit advertisers and major economic players. The winners are consumers and large-scale media aggregators and distributors (e.g., Apple, Google, Spotify), while the losers are independent musicians struggling to earn a decent income and, to a lesser extent, major music corporations (e.g., Sony, Warner, Universal) that have experienced a decline in long-term capital accumulation and control. Spotify is the most popular streaming service among consumers, accounting for 41.2 per cent of the global market share, owing to its freemium model and expansive music library, making it accessible and flexible to different populaces and their individuals. Spotify’s user interface, personalized music experience with AI-driven recommendation models, social media integration, exclusive content partnerships, and pricing structure have made it more appealing to consumers. Initially, Spotify kept membership fees low and royalties high to attract more artists, but over time, their membership fees have risen, and the free version for users is losing features due to investment pressures to convert free users to paid subscribers. Spotify's need for rapid subscriber growth has led to significant profit-less revenue, which has resulted in Spotify offsetting their losses by charging for listing prioritization (Marquee Program), significantly cutting royalties, and placing unrealistic streaming targets on independent artists.
07. Historical Copyright Laws and Unfair Recognition
08. Challenges for Independent Artists
Historically, copyright laws have been instrumental in protecting creative assets, beginning with the Statute of Anne (1710), Mechanical Rights (late 1880s), and revisions of the Copyright Act (1909, 1976), which introduced royalties for artists and extended protection to a broader range of musical works and fair use, including compulsory licenses for cover songs. While copyright has been useful for ensuring individual labor is rewarded, it is less effective in recognizing the collaborative nature of creativity. For instance, sound engineers, who play a crucial role in music production, often go unrecognized as copyright laws primarily protect songwriters, composers, and performing artists. Additionally, within the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) system, sound engineers lack a distinct classification, leading to their underrepresentation and making it difficult for policymakers and industry stakeholders to support this specialized profession effectively. This is significant, as sound engineers and producers historically placed their names on vinyl records for recognition, a practice that has diminished with the advent of streaming.
11. A System That Fails Everyone
Becoming an independent creative in the music industry presents numerous challenges in turning this skill set into a sustainable living. Creatives must invest in education and training from a young age, and face high costs for equipment, software, instruments, rehearsal spaces, studio time, marketing, and more. For instance, a basic at-home mixing studio can cost at least $10,000, with quality instruments ranging up to $5,000, not including accessories and maintenance. Independent artists often lack financial resources and industry connections, making promotion and audience reach difficult without major label support. They must manage multiple roles, such as musician, manager, and promoter, requiring diverse skills and significant time commitment. Industry monopolies and paid promotions create additional barriers. Artists frequently work unpaid or underpaid, with no job security or benefits, and the focus on marketing over artistic creation intensifies competition and labor precarity.
12. Impact on Communities and Local Economies
The recognition of creative assets as a valuable, in-demand attribute is highlighting the importance of nurturing creative talent, yet streaming platforms and distributors are failing to invest in the artists who create the assets they profit from. In the 90s, the digital recordings and distribution gave opportunities for artists to become independent, but in the modern era, the largest capitalist organizations, like Apple & Spotify, have bypassed the mediating institutions like local venues, radio stations, and record shops, creating another form of control over consumer assumption. This systemic failure not only undermines artists but also deprives communities of the cultural and economic benefits that come from a thriving local music industry. By continuing to operate under a system that prioritizes profit for a few over sustainability for many, the music industry is leaving behind the very people who have the most to gain—and lose—from its success.
What often goes unnoticed is how this broken system ripples out to communities and local economies. The decline in fair compensation for musicians and the monopolization of distribution channels by global corporations have weakened the traditional music ecosystem, which once thrived at the local level. Independent artists are no longer able to rely on local venues, record shops, and community radio stations as stepping stones to success, as these institutions have been displaced by centralized streaming platforms that prioritize global reach over local impact. Local music scenes—historically vibrant hubs of culture and economic activity—are suffering. Independent venues, small labels, and music stores, which were once integral to connecting artists with their communities, are closing at alarming rates. This has a domino effect on local economies: Fewer live performances mean fewer jobs for sound engineers, lighting technicians, and event staff. Declining artist incomes lead to reduced spending in local economies, from rehearsal spaces to instrument retailers. Displaced cultural events like festivals and concerts mean lost tourism revenue for cities and towns that rely on these gatherings to drive local business. The loss of these local music ecosystems also erodes cultural identity. Music has historically been a powerful force for fostering community pride, telling local stories, and bringing people together. When artists are forced to abandon their craft or cater solely to global algorithms, communities lose a vital part of their cultural fabric.


Why This Matters to You
When musicians and the creative professionals who support them struggle, it affects the cultural fabric of our communities. Music venues close, festivals are canceled, and the vibrant local music scenes that enrich our lives begin to fade. This isn't just a loss for the artists—it's a loss for everyone who values the arts and the cultural diversity they bring.

Music isn’t just background noise—it’s the heartbeat of our lives.
It’s the song that played at your wedding, the anthem that got you through the lows & highs, or the playlist that keeps you motivated during a tough workout. Music is the soundtrack to our memories, our dreams, and our everyday moments.
Digital piracy costs the U.S. music industry $12.5 billion annually, leading to 71,000 job losses and $2.7 billion in decreased workers' earnings.
To put that in perspective, imagine if you worked a full day and only earned $0.003 for every task you completed.
Let's say you have a job where you complete 100 daily tasks. If you were paid $0.003 per task, here's what your daily earnings would look like:
100 tasks × $0.003 per task = $0.30 per day
Now, let's extend this to a week. If you work 5 days a week:
$0.30 per day × 5 days = $1.50 per week
And if we look at a month, assuming 4 weeks in a month:
$1.50 per week × 4 weeks = $6.00 per month
Imagine trying to live on $6.00 a month. It's not enough to cover basic necessities, let alone save for the future or invest in your craft. This is the reality for many musicians who rely on streaming platforms for their income.
-
But here's the harsh reality: the artists who create the music you love are struggling to survive. For example, the average musician earns less than $6,000 a year. That's barely enough to cover basic living expenses, let alone the costs of creating new music.
-
Why is this happening? Because the system is rigged against them. Giant corporations take up to 90% of their earnings, leaving artists with crumbs. Platforms like Spotify, which promised to democratize music, often pay as little as $0.003 per stream. The millions of dollars in licensing fees that Spotify pays to record labels line their pockets and are rarely seen by the artists whose creative products you profit from.
-
Musicians are working tirelessly, with over 70 per cent of all artists needing to be employed in multiple industries, often juggling multiple jobs, to make ends meet. This leaves little time and resources for them to create the music that enriches our lives, invests in our community resources and hinders local economies with declining live performances, music festivals, and related businesses.

Imagine a world without the music that moves us, inspires us, and brings us together. When musicians struggle, it's not just their livelihoods that are at risk—it's the entire ecosystem of creativity and culture that enriches our lives. The ripple effect of their struggles can lead to job losses and reduced economic activity, impacting not just the artists themselves, but the countless professionals who support them.

Sceptical? You should be...


How many times have we been promised a revolution in the creative industries? They all claimed they’d transform the way music works for artists and listeners. But here we are, years later, with the same broken system. None of them delivered the revolution they promised. Why?
Because nobody
has addressed the root of the problem.

These platforms focused on fixing surface-level issues for a select few, rather than tackling the systemic inequalities that plague the industry. They created band-aid solutions for a fractured market, leaving the majority of artists and consumers behind. Even the so-called “artist-run platform,” couldn’t escape the gravitational pull of an industry dominated by monopolies and unsustainable practices.
This is were we come in...
Because when artists thrive, communities thrives. And when communities thrive, we all win.
