It's easy to hate Spotify and feel like they are ripping you off as a music artist. And perhaps you're right! But what if we just looked at Spotify and Apple Music in a different way? What if we just used it as a powerful marketing tool, and then created personalised music experiences for our audience as a way to earn an income from our music. 
I discuss the latest proposed changes for the Spotify royalty payouts, and some ways you can use the platform to move your music forwards
Thank you to Damian Keyes for some insight around this topic

From Musician To Artist is a podcast for musicians wanting to up skill and become recognised music artists. 
It covers the 5 stages of being a music artist 
1. Branding (the vision and direction for you and your music, as well as how your audience sees you)
2. Playing Your Music (from rehearsals, to live shows)
3. Songwriting (developing songs that form deep connections with your audience)
4. Recording (capturing your songs in the best possible way)
5. Promotion (getting your music out and in front of people, and growing an audience)
It’s a weekly podcast series, both here on YouTube, and on your favourite podcast app.
