I Must Read!! Advice to all Artists – Akon

“If you want to remain pōōr in the music industry, be an artist. Artists are the br0kest people in the music industry, and still the most famous. This is because they are the last people to get paid.” — Akon

“When you look at the music industry, the artist is a consumer to services that every other stakeholder offers. They pay producers, songwriters, distributors, managers, and so on. Before they even get royalties, the money of all the other people that make up the industry has to be paid.”

“If you are an upcoming artist and you only want to be famous and broke behind closed doors, be an artist. If you want to start making real money, look at the other paths in the music business. Learn songwriting, production, and everything you can to minimize how much you spend and how much you get paid.”
