Why are celebrity music artists selling their publishing catalogs at an alarming rate? Take a deep dive with Nomad & Lola, two independent music artists who have also worked in the music biz for over 30 years with some of the biggest stars in the industry. There are several reasons why celebrity music artists are selling their publishing catalogs at an alarming rate. First and foremost, the music industry has been undergoing tremendous shifts in how revenue is generated due to streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music. Traditional revenue sources such as record sales have been steadily decreasing while streaming royalties make up a much larger portion of the music industry income. This shift has been particularly difficult for independent musicians and songwriters, who often rely on having control of their publishing to generate more revenue. Furthermore, the move towards streaming services has also meant that artists are no longer making as much money off of their recorded works due to the low royalty rates associated with streaming. As such, many artists see selling their publishing catalogs as a way to generate revenue in the short term, while still maintaining ownership of the original works. The takeaway for today's Career Musician is simple – Do as much as you can to diversify your income streams for sustainability. Whether you're an artist, member of a band, composer, producer, or support musician for other acts, publishing, and all of the intricacies there-in is a vital part of YOUR long term success in the industry!

Tod Weidner has been a foot soldier in the trenches of the Music Wars for decades. He's played festivals, porches, and everywhere in between, earning his place in the fray and a seat in the van with cerebral, lyric-driven songs that come from the heart of a storyteller beating in the bones of a rock and roller. After putting in his 10,000 hours (and then some) as a fixture in the Midwestern Music Scene, Tod has recently relocated to the West Coast to focus on a new chapter as a solo artist and singer/songwriter, crafting his special brand of Americana with Soul- a room in the gloom, with a candle in the corner and a sunrise in the wings. https://www.todweidner.com/https://www.instagram.com/todweidner/@thecareermusician@nomadsplace
