Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Artists need support, time and money to develop their ideas, and if people rip stuff off, you don't have to be that brilliant to figure out that you're ultimately going to affect the end product.
Artists change how we see the world - and that can have value in the way people do business.
A lot of artists are much more concerned about how their work is used and how it's disseminated. That, to artists, is as important as the money, for some people.
I suspect that we might actually start selling some records with these artists in about 10 years. Some the people who invested, they're a little tight-because it's a lot of money to start up a company.
Real artists free of the tedium of money can use, now, all of society as an idea factory.
There is hardly any money interest in art, and music will be there when money is gone.
Companies like Spotify, the new Apple service, and all the others are really going to have to pay artists more. And I think it's a matter of time; I think a lot of these companies and the individuals that are involved in them realize that as well. They know that artists are not getting what they should be getting.
I feel like every artist has an opportunity to create something new and to challenge themselves to reach out to a new crowd.
Some people become artists for whatever reasons. Some of it's frivolous. And I don't think there should be any shame on that, but I think there comes a point in life where you want to offer more.
Artists usually don't make all that much money, and they often keep their artistic hobby despite the money rather than due to it.
