When I do get a payout, I deposit it into a saving account and try to forget said money even exists. Also worth a mention the interest on this saving account is 4%. Right now my account balance is $10.02, again I’ve been depositing payout money since 2010 and with interest I still have less twenty bucks. This year Spotify changed their royalties payouts to only happen if a songs breaks 1000 streams. You can see why #BandcampFriday matters when artist get to get 100% of their profit. 📻🌹💜🎶

To give people an idea of how fucked royalty payouts are and why #fairtrademusicfriday aka #BandcampFriday is important to indie artists, please allow me to share my personal experience. First and foremost I’m not a ghost producer or commercial producer of anything popular, please keep this in mind. Since 2010 I’ve independently released music under various projects/alias/collabs, point and case my name is on something, when it streams or sells I see a royalty payment.…

Oh shit, Sam Ash music stores are all closing. Literally the end of an era; they've been around for 100 years!

Most of us who've been doing this music thing for years have bought something from a Sam Ash store in person or online at some point. Pore one out, I guess...

In the process today of pulling all my music from Spotify. If I’m not seeing my $2 in royalties each year, it’s not worth the time. Soon all my tunes will be on Audius. https://audius.co/elroachy
