Singer Peter Hollens has advice for new musicians.

Signing a record deal with a major label as a musician should be the best feeling in the world. But for a capella singer Peter Hollens, it was a much more conflicting experience. As a father to be at the time, the money that comes along with a signed contract seemed too good to pass up. But looking back on that moment, Peter regrets having ever signed it in the first place.

Peter Hollens has since thrived as an independent musician who calls his own shots and sings his own songs. This is his advice to fellow musicians on maintaining their creative freedom.

$How artists make NOTHING from a hit album #royalties #RAC #musicindustry If a musician’s album gets a lot of streams, draws huge crowds at live shows, and wins a Grammy, it must generate a ton of money for the artist, right? It turns out, that’s not exactly true… The deal many musicians working in the music industry make with record labels sets up a lopsided dynamic. After an album is released, every time it’s streamed, purchased, or downloaded, the record label makes money in the form of royalties. But because of the terms of the deal with artists, only a tiny fraction of those royalties ever make it to artists. And in some cases, the artist receives no royalties at all...
