KARRA invested over $100,000 of her own money to create her debut album "Beauty & The Boss". After being released for 1.5 years and accumulating 1.2 million streams, Spotify flagged her album for artificial streams. This resulted in Spotify and Distrokid removing her entire album off of all music streaming platforms, with no warning or chance to dispute the claims. She did not buy "fake streams", or participate in any scams to run up her streaming numbers. She is not alone as thousands of other independent artists are experiencing the same issues with music streaming & distribution services.
Karra shares her story as an independent artist to show how much she has invested into her solo music career only for her music to be ripped down in such an unjust manner. This documentary also illustrates all of the blockages she experienced while trying to promote her album on popular social media platforms like Tik-Tok, Instagram, and YouTube. She also breaks down the accounting, and reveals how much the album generated from royalties. Spoiler alert... its not much! Karra is honored to advocate, and raise her voice on behalf of every artist who continues to be exploited by today's flawed music streaming system. Karra has made the permanent decision to never release her music for streaming ever again. Her music will only be available on her YouTube channel, where she gets paid fairly, and has full agency over her content, profile, and music.
