Question: If you're throwing your music into the digital dumpster (over 100K new songs per day), where is your audience? There isn't one. Here's my suggestion: Put out your music in physical format only, either CD or Vinyl or both. If the supply is too big (100K/day) and the demand is low (no one can consume that much), the value of your music is ZERO! If, on the other hand, it can only be found in physical format, the supply goes way down to meet where the demand is. Mark my words... Digital distribution is dead. Take control of your music and only make it available physically. Build your fan base accordingly and organically. You'll be WAY ahead of your competition.

Just my 2 cents on A.I. I can see that it's a tool that will be used by many people, but not artists. The most innovative creation comes from real humans. Don't fear A.I., it can only replicate, not create. Think about unique artists like The White Stripes. Their stuff was so unconventional. Yet, it hit a nerve. And that, my friends, is the future. A.I. is nothing. Don't worry.

I believe the future of music is much more simple and organic than we realize. No click tracks, no samples. People playing and singing live and interacting in real time. The concept is so simple, yet so far in the past that most people have forgotten that it can even be done that way and how magical it can be. It isn't perfect and it's not supposed to be. It's ART. It's real humans performing in real time. That's what my priority is moving forward. Who's with me?
