Streaming
By Joe Divico
Where is everyones attention now that we have access to a plethora of music apps . I think that free streaming services will allow artists exposure for growing their brand on a certain level. SoundCloud is a popular app that allows people to share their music without having a record label backing them. For example, one of my favorite artists is Mike Stud or Mike Seander. He is a former college duke baseball player. In his sophmore year, he had surgery for a career ending injury. He started rapping and has been pushing his music for free, until he releases an album. This platform of giving music which has built his career up where it is more then enough income for living. It will be interesting the direction music takes in our future.
