Musicians would disagree.
- tareqak 7y agoThe only way to conclusively prove or disprove your claim would be to have several musicians/singers/songwriters open up their books to show where their wealth came from. From what I have heard over the years, artists and bands make a greater percentage of their wealth from doing concert tours (ticket sales) and selling merchandise than they do from actually selling music via record labels (I have no proof for this claim). My point is somewhat supported by the fact that some successful artists later going on to start their own record labels: if the relationship with the label was otherwise good and the issue was not money, then why make a significant capital investment in creating your own label?
