🎵 Happy Black Music Month 🎵
Black artists have shaped the soundtracks of generations, influenced global culture, and built billion-dollar industries. But one question remains:
Who actually profits?
Many artists assume that millions of streams automatically translate into significant income.
The reality is that streaming revenue is often divided among labels, distributors, publishers, collection societies, and other rights holders before an artist sees a payment.
That's why ownership matters.
As we celebrate Black Music Month, let's celebrate not only the culture we create but the ownership, equity, and legacy we deserve.
Because creating the culture is powerful. Owning the rights to it is transformational.
