Traditional & New Income Streams for Indie Artists

Description:

The music industry is ever-changing, and now more than ever, capitalizing on several different income streams makes bringing home a full-time income solely from music an attainable goal for independent artists. This panel will discuss the three eras of artist income — pre-digital income (physical and sync), digital income (streaming, download, and micro sync), and web3 income (NFTs, crypto, and metaverse licenses) — and the associated income opportunities that exist today and that artists can tap into to diversify their revenue streams.
