The author is out of touch.

Plenty of people are making a good living making music. They just aren't making their money selling CDs and MP3s.

I wish the author would read up on self-made artists like Post Malone and Logic. They have made tons of money ... starting small, selling merch, and then finally filling stadiums at $50-$100 a ticket.



Those are household names and it also requires that the artist wants to tour.


Touring isn't a new requirement for making real money


A friend of mine makes 6 figures touring as a dj, backed by work he does producing and remixing for a pittance just to get his name out there. And he is far from a household name. Is he rich? No, but it’s a living.
