Former full-time musician and CDBaby founder, Derek Sivers, speaks out about the future of the music industry and musicians. Says some fascinating stuff, like the following about spreading the word about a band/artist:
“I’d make sure that I was always in a real three-way conversation with my fans. Encourage them to talk with me and with eachother. Make my success their success, like Obama.”
Or:
“The music business might be like the poetry business some day. Which means: almost no profit, and people do it because they want to, never for the money. I’m sure there are some companies making money off of poetry, but not many. Not making millions.”
Interesting person, interesting interview. He’s one to listen to. Check it out.
