If you know me, you know I'm a die-hard Swiftie, for many reasons beyond her songwriting and musical talent. This article is an interesting read, and a commentary on the "instant gratification" world we live in. Think about that term for a second... Who wants gratification to instantaneous? And is it really gratification if it only lasts an instant? (Look up the definition of gratification if I'm not making sense here). Hope you will scan the article! #TTPD #swiftie

Starting with a bitter truth: Whom are you creating songs for? To satisfy your soul? Then don’t pester people for playlists and don’t focus on recouping your investment. If you are making music to earn money and capture listeners' hearts, then research and find out the sound and trends of the market. Make relatable music that addresses listeners' lives and various situations. Give them a beat to dance to, lyrics to relate to, and emotions to connect with or feel good about. Make it suitable for the maximum number of people and expect monetary returns. Alternatively, release songs that simply make you feel good and forget about the business aspect. Or Balance the act. #musicbusiness #wynkstudio #musicdistribution #indianmusicbusiness #indie #indieartist #indiemusic

Most states don't have specific taxes on creative works like music, but North Dakota does!  🧐 Composers in the state have to pay a tax on the performing rights of their music, even if it's used in an opera, musical, or even played in a restaurant. This applies if they sell, license, or are otherwise compensated for that music being performed. 🎺🎶 Want to dive deeper into the wacky world of taxes?

We end a chapter in music history. The last album from legendary musician Childish Gambino has been released and has received critical acclaim from the masses. He leaves a legacy that many have built upon, inspiring many to start their own musical journeys and transform their musical styles. An authentic talent from a person that has many talents to speak of, whether it be directing and acting or being a producer and artist, Childish Gambino is in a league with the likes of Pharrell and many others, rising above the majority of talents with his cultural impact and prowess. I think this record emulates his last thoughts being in the music industry this long, the trials and errors, the lessons, and then realisations that happened through out his career, from songs like In the Night to No Excuses (this song being reminiscent of his ep Summer Pack) really tying to his music legacy track by track with meticulously placed features that make this record what it is. Donald Glover (Childish Gambino) spoke about his departure from music, saying, “There’s nothing worse than like a third sequel, like a third movie, and we’re like, ‘again?’” from his interview with Revolt Magazine, referring to his music becoming "expected" and dragged out when that's not his true intention. I think musicians can learn from this and really reflect, knowing when to stop. As in, talent and creativity will always be there, but when the feeling and authenticity leave, you should follow them and not force your art, because forceful art is the downfall of any great artist. #musiclegacy #unmatchedtalent #culturalicon #endofanera #youngtalent #creativeways #musicanmindset #knowingwhentostepback
