Description
Streaming pays $0.003–$0.005 per play. Live performance is where income lives. Recording costs ($5k–$50k+ per album), distribution platforms (DistroKid, TuneCore), sync licensing, and the honest economics of a career where the top 1% are millionaires and the other 99% supplement with teaching, session work, and day jobs. Passion-driven career with challenging economics.
