The Music Industry Just Died

spotify CEO Daniel Ek has triggered backlash from the music industry this week by claiming that the cost of creating content is “close to zero.”

As the streaming giant reported record profits of over €1bn in Q1 of this year, many artists were quick to respond by highlighting the struggles that are faced by musicians trying to make ends meet.

👇 ABOUT ME:
Hey! I’m Damian Keyes and I’ve worked with musicians every day of my life for the past 20 years. The internet is de ply untrusting understandably and here is my background so you can have the full picture.

When I was 18, I was signed to a major label and at 23 I co-founded a Music University in Europe called BIMM (valued at $300M). I’m also a bass player, I’ve played for a number of artists including Eric Clapton, Alanis Morrisette and Billy Cobham. I initially retired at 30, but realised that life gets boring if you’re not building!

I have always been in-between the music industry and education which is how I ended up building my YouTube channel – I’ve been teaching artists how to release music long before it was a ‘niche’! I now educate artists around the world with my Academy, YouTube channel and Social Agency.

It’s great to meet you and looking forward to working together on your music!
