The Music industry has always been challenging for musicians to be fairly paid back for their content creation in the pool of $15 billion Music industry.
In were the 'Middle Men' or Record Labels, Music Distributors, Online Music Sale platforms and Publishers receive the biggest share of the Artists’ Royalty Payments and to be honest it's those big labels who control the types of music and artists that get the exposure and become popular.
One of the great things about the blockchain technology is that because it is a decentralized system that exists between all the permitted parties there is no need to pay the 'Middlemen' at the same time it saves us plenty of time and conflict that we musicians face in the current traditional systems used; but now all of this is changing quickly as the Blockchain is proving to be faster, cheaper, and more secure in which is why Banks and Governments among other institutions and industries are being attracted to the Blockchain and turning to it.
