I have made the decision to remove my music from many streaming platforms and it won't be returning. The biggest streaming platforms are owned by billionaires, they pay recording artists per stream however that can be as little as $0.002 per stream and on some platforms like Spotify it only starts counting once you get over a thousand streams per annum.
I feel this is killing music and making it not worth bothering for unsigned, independent and new artists. It's forcing music towards the more profitable short tracks that fit a certain style and format. It's taking away music ownership and forcing everyone to rent music. Let's bring back digital MP3 albums, cassette tapes, CDs, vinyl LPs and band T-Shirts. Pay for them and own them. The band then gets the majority of the money!
Get an MP3 player on your phone and download some music it'll be there even when your signal is not. You won't be making a billionaire richer at the expense of the artist, you won't be supporting these corporation's political views and agenda, instead you'll support the views and lives of your favourite bands.
You can stream my music for free from my website thanks to BandCamp or you can buy it from their website which will support me, them and other independent artists.
