Yes, artists primarily earn income from live performances. If they write their own songs, then they can make a small amount in digital streaming. If they are lucky enough to get their music in TV shows or made-for-tv movies they can make fairly decent money on royalties. Theater films do not earn performance royalties (damn it, ASCAP) but can generate revenue through licensing. For emerging artists in their local area, I recommend considering performances at venues such as restaurants, weddings, or nightclubs. You can earn some money by selling merchandise at concerts. If all else fails, teach. What was that joke - oh yeah. What is a med student that drops out of med school called? Ans: a dentist. BTW, I love my dentist in case she sees this. Another one - what is a singer called that doesn't make the Big Time? A poor and starving soul. Now what was this topic about. I got lost... John

"Defeatist Pessimists and Rose Colored Glasses Optimists are lonely companions, victims even. Both ideologies imply predestined outcomes, and therefore breed inactivity in its victims. Inaction is the only sure way to lose at anything in life. All positive action guarantees at least a fighting chance." -Brian Austin Whitney
