In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the harsh reality behind being a modern-day musician. From Garbage’s Shirley Manson calling touring “unsustainable” to the shocking income gap revealed by Spotify’s payouts, this conversation dives deep into why most working artists can’t make a living wage from their art. Miss Krystle breaks down the current state of streaming, artist royalties, and the lack of real protections or unions supporting independent creators.
She also looks at the groundbreaking case of Ireland’s new national program paying artists a living wage, the first of its kind in the world.
