Obviously marketing is not the dominant factor if you're as good and original as Billie Eilish.

Obviously marketing is not the dominant factor if you're as good and original as Billie Eilish.
- Rochus 6y agoUnfortunately beeing "good" and "original" is not enough; and even if you make it as a musician, it doesn't mean that you can make a reasonable living from it (which is also addressed by the article).
- musicale 6y agoPP's thesis was that many people on soundcloud are as good and original as Billie Eilish (or more so). Presumably many musicians on soundclound are persistent and hard-working as well as insanely talented and original. Marketing isn't the dominant factor for a new artist winning the pop music lottery. Luck is. There's a lot of great music out there that will never be a hit song, and it's nice that we can still listen to it.
