Gala Music: The Platform Transforming Artist Earnings
Over the past couple of decades, the music industry has evolved rapidly alongside technological advancements, creating new challenges and opportunities for artists. Traditional platforms like Spotify have enabled artists to reach global audiences but often at the cost of fair compensation. With streaming royalties averaging between $0.003 to $0.005 per stream, many musicians struggle to earn a sustainable income despite millions of plays.
The Challenge with Spotify
Spotify's current business model, influenced by factors such as AI production tools and a corporate mentality, continues to devalue artists' earnings. As 2024 progresses, the compensation for artists on Spotify remains minimal, driving many musicians to seek alternative platforms that value their creative efforts more fairly.
Gala Music's Innovative Approach
Gala Music is pioneering a new era for artists by leveraging blockchain technology and the scalable power of GalChain. The platform offers artists around $0.01 per stream, more than double what they would receive from Spotify. This significant increase in earnings is just one of the many benefits that Gala Music provides.
At the core of Gala Music's ecosystem is the $MUSIC token, a utility token that revolutionizes how artists are rewarded. Artists are directly compensated in $MUSIC tokens every time their tracks are streamed. Additionally, the rewards are amplified when an artist's NFT track is paired with a Jukebox Node and hosted on Gala Music’s Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN).
