Payment Structure for Artists

Overview of Payment Distribution

• The speaker explains the complexity of artist payments, stating that they do not pay artists directly from their platform. Instead, they collect money from premium subscriptions and advertising.

• From the total revenue, 30% is retained by the platform while 70% is allocated to artists. This translates to approximately $0.004 per stream or $4,000 for every million streams.

• The funds are not paid directly to artists but are passed on to record labels (referred to as "disqueras"), which then distribute payments to the artists.

• Typically, artists receive only 15% to 25% of what comes into the platform after distribution through record labels due to various costs involved in production and management.

Independent Artists vs. Signed Artists

• Independent artists can potentially receive up to 100% of their earnings if they manage their own recordings, concerts, campaigns, and contracts.

• However, going independent means losing access to industry connections and influence that come with being signed under a label.
