I have been away from the business for over 9 Months while I chase other money, but Bay Area artists (Bay Area businesses period) need your support. I know many don't want to pay for digital downloads when they can just get the music for "free", but those artists are trying to do the right thing. Those artists craft is their full time job. They get very little off of their music these days so don't dig in their pockets any further as they try to provide for themselves and their families.
People don't go into a Grocery Store put food up there on that Conveyor Belt and when it is all rang up, say "I want to just get this for free". So stop robbing artists.

I will give an example using myself. This is my Royalty Statement for Digital Downloads. I have been gone for 9 plus Months so I am not expecting anything but it is slim pickings and I want to see these Bay Area artists eat. So here is an HONEST Royalty Statement and payout and shows that these cats really do need your support Financially for their Craft.

Statement:

That all equals "No Money".

1 Cent for Mechanical Royalties

2 Cents for Mechanical Royalties

Sad thing is some of these artists don't even have Publishing, some of these artists don't have their Digital Downloads set up. Some of these artists don't have correct representation.

So they aren't even seeing this little chump change.
