As an underground music artist, I can tell you one of the things killing my ability to make music, is that fact that every one out there wants it....FOR FREE.
Being underground doesn't mean I don't want to make enough money to live, to support my family, and to have a few extra things in life because I work so hard to bring the people music that they like. If you like it enough to download it, then you should lke it enough to buy it and help me to keep feeding my kids, my family, and the many people who choose to couch surf at my spot from time to time so they don't sleep on the streets. My damn dog is starving!!
Supporting people that you enjoy is what allows that artist to continue to bring you music that you love. How am I suppose to record new tracks, I hear it every day. "Hey man, when you coming out with a new album?" "When are we gonna see a new video for you soon?" How are we suppose to do that when we can't afford to buy roman with how many people are "borrowing their friends CD and burning it".
Underground doesn't mean under-paid, it means under appreciated by the masses!! If we don't die out from hunger any time soon, maybe I'll release a new song next month, but first I have to have a garage sale!
