Are the kids alright?
Indie artists surviving the streaming economy
Chris Dalla Riva’s excellent “Can’t Get Much Higher” Substack recently interviewed Spotify’s ex-Chief Economist Will Page about new developments in music tech and the state of the music industry in general. After a brief back and forth with Chris about that interview in the Comments Section :) he cordially invited me to provide a different perspective on how independent musicians and record labels experience the streaming economy and the future of music tech.
Props to Chris for keeping an open mind and inviting me, his sub is well worth checking out.

I really appreciate how well you laid your case out in the interview. The grocery store analogy is so useful for folks that have never given any time to think about pragmatic impacts to smaller ecosystem artists ❤️
