Not necessarily. Look at things like America’s got talent. You sell your act to get world wide recognition. You can only become valuable by promising that value to a corporation with means to market your talent.

I feel like music is becoming corrupt. A tool to pander, an advert, measured by the ability to reach the largest audience. It’s supposed to be about sending a message, but it feels like we’re being sold one.

The internet exists and now more than ever people have the tools and resources to create, so it’s wild that only big brands have such an iron monopoly on creativity. It’s super disappointing.
