The consumption of Music and musical content is at record highs, and the portals for artists to earn are diverse and rewarding, especially for the big names. But as much as the listeners want that connection between them and the artist, that direct feel of the music leaving the artists and going straight to the ears of the listeners, it is not quite that way (at least not with the contemporary methods). For music to go from the artist to the listeners it goes through a lot of Third-parties, and these parties are all about self, gain, business and not truly about the listeners.
Contemporary Music streaming platforms give the artists a lot of exposure and some give sources of earning but this is handled by the Record Labels, Distributors and a handful of Third-parties, who we all know have a disproportionate amount of power over the artists which shouldn't be so. There abounds numerous stories of the artists Royalties for their works never getting to them, and if it does get to them it's a minute fraction of what they indeed earned, there are also stories of these Third-parties dictating what kind of Music an artists should put out which is best for business, stifling the artists creativity. What if there existed a way for artists to take away that Third-party interference and run their shows themselves?
Well my friends *insert Blockchain Technology* now artists have the power to indeed run their shows themselves. Blockchain brings with it transparency, openness and Third-parties can be eliminated. Blockchain streaming platforms offer Decentralization and artists also get the chance to receive their earnings from their Music themselves. No need for Royalties and streaming revenue to go through the many Third-party hands who will keep depleting it till it gets to the artist.
Emanate Music is one Blockchain Music streaming platforms I'm truly super psyched about. From them taking away the Third-party interference I truly loathe, to their payout time for artists it truly is astounding. To find a platform that pays artists after 6 seconds of every stream is truly something out of this world, especially when weighed on a scale and compared to the top dogs in the Music Streaming industry who takes months, years and some even don't pay at all, with the crazy number of artists using them daily.
It truly is beautiful watching what Emanate 8s slowly turning into. There was a chat on their Discord group the other day and with all the plans they have in the works I am truly expecting Mass Adoption for their project sooner rather than later. I truly am super psyched about this one.
