This post by YaliniDream is a must to read for people who have a misconception of how musicians and other working artists make their living. Quote: “Yet, I know too many generous accomplished independent working artists contributing to justice movements who have been performing, painting, filming, writing, composing, creating over decades, who struggle to make even $15,000 a year. I also know too many artists who remain tied to day jobs that mute their light because there is no way they could take care of their child or mother or self on what they would make from their art.”
It’s time that working musicians get together and tackle all their problem as a group. The time has come that all music activists come together and take over “real” leadership as a collective because at the end of the day we all want to drink our Brooklyn Lager in peace. And feeling good about ourselves and loved ones because we got our pay check today. Yes, all the talk is about fair pay!
