“I need 40,000 streams to buy some Air Force 1s. It’s double that if I wanna buy a pair for my son.” – That’s not a flex, that’s a problem.

Spotify is collecting billions from monthly subscriptions while artists are grinding just to survive. Playlist rejections, $0.003 per stream, spending $100 on ads to make back just about a dollar… It SUCKS!!!

This song isn’t just my story. It’s OUR story if you’re a musician. Every independent artist knows this struggle. Every musician has felt this frustration. We’re the ones creating the content that makes their platform valuable, but we’re getting pennies while they profit billions.

It’s time we got a penny per stream. Make users pay for listening hours. Let them buy the songs they love. Bring back the value of music.
Until then, this is my letter to you.

Sincerely,
Fokis
