Ethan Diamond, Bandcamp - XOXO Festival (2014) @xoxofest

Uploaded October 2014 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Six years ago, Ethan Diamond launched Bandcamp to give musicians a way to stream and sell their music directly to fans at a fraction of Apple’s cut. While the streaming services pay fractions of a penny to indie artists, Bandcamp’s paying out $3 million monthly, with over $80 million since launch.

Recorded in September 2014 at XOXO, an arts and technology festival in Portland, Oregon celebrating independent artists using the Internet to make a living doing what they love. For more, visit http://xoxofest.com.
