That and some other weird schizz. He's told me some really bizzaro stories about household names.
Doesn't surprise me. The entertainment industry seems to have an environment rich for sleese bags. Considering it glamorizes sex drugs and money, I'd be surprised if some of that wasn't a prerequisite.
Another thing, sometimes the people who can't get signed by a label aren't as good as they think they are.
While the internet gave way to more variety, it pretty much killed record sales.

You can't just drop this on the floor and let it lay there stinking like a dead fish.
Do tell!

The thing is they make very little money, a truly pitiful amount, putting their music on Spotify, iHeartRadio and iTunes. They really need to tour and tour constantly for income but the tradeoff is without marketing they are constantly playing smaller venues. Sure, they have the artistic freedom to make anything they want but it comes with a tradeoff.
This is leaving out the actual recording process and whether or not you can afford an actual studio with engineers. The labels will arrange this but the freelance bands are using home studios and off the shelf mixing equipment and need to then become proficient in something that isn't actually writing new material.

Im sure. I just wonder how some of these small artists are making so much.
No obscure artist is making $49,000,000 from music.
How much life experience can a teenager have to create deep and meaningful songs
