(2,335 posts)I don't have a solution. Only a infinitesimally small number of musicians in the last 300 years have made enough money to live comfortably, much less live large. Sad but true. The system is set up to only reward the corporate created artist with riches. And for each one of those there are 100 more talented who will never pay off their credit card. The only hope I see if for the new artist to be good enough to create a following, tour like mad, and "sell" download credits. If you are good enough outside the lowest common denominator scene, you might get a corporate or indie contract. But not everyone can afford to secure all the music they want through paid streaming services. Few under 30 buy tangible CDs or vinyl ....
Jazz musicians do it for love. That's how we all must look at it .....
