Curls and CoilsPublished 3 years ago in BeatWhat Makes African Music Unique?
Music is a universal aspect of human existence and found in all cultures in the history of mankind. It is widely believed that Africa is the cradle of humanity, so it seems quite obvious that the music became a part of African life long before any other civilization on the planet.
Should I Copyright My Song?
Should you copyright your song or use a third party protection service? According to the U.S. Copyright Office, copyright protection concerns original works fixed in any tangible medium of expression, now known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced or otherwise communicated either directed or with the aid of a machine or device. In other words, if you write a song it qualifies for copyright. In fact, under U.S. Copyright Law, getting a copyright on your song is automatic and the process starts with the date of creation. Whether you record, write down or put it on a CD you have an automatic copyright. Now that you have a copyright on your song, should your register it with the U.S. Library of Congress?
Scott DetweilerPublished 4 years ago in BeatI got 17 cent's from my music
My royalty payments from SoundCloud in July $0.17 So at the start of this month (October) I received my first royalty payment from Soundcloud. Before this, I really had no clue about how much money I would actually get. I heard rough estimations online that it would be $2–3 per thousand views. I didn’t have to pay as I was on the free trial for a month, so any money I did make, in a way was all profit. I wasn’t overly worried about it. Since then, in August, I have paid out for a yearly subscription (90$.) This includes publishing all my music to Streaming sites e.g Spotify and also stores such as iTunes. With any views, I get on Soundcloud also being ‘Monetised’. Straight away, first off the bat, I thought it would be easy when one of my tracks got botted for a few hundred views by a Ukrainian account. But now in October looking back at my first month’s revenue (July) it looks daunting and even downright unfair.
Charlie SmithPublished 4 years ago in BeatNew Ideas for Old Songs
Young people are always looking for new music; something more advanced than the music of their parents. Yet, as they become exposed to different types of music over time, and start to study music history and theory, they probably begin to realize there is no such thing as altogether "new music". A successful recording artist would probably consider himself or herself to be extremely fortunate even to add a single new note to musical traditions.

Yesterday was the official release date for Joji's studio album, Nectar. This completes the drop of 88rising's Holy Trinity, following Rich Brian's August EP 1999 and NIKI's Moonchild from earlier this month. For many Asians across the globe, 88rising is the Crazy Rich Asians of the music industry. I still remember how stoked I was when I watched the promo video “Head In The Clouds: a midsummer night’s dream” for the label’s first compilation album. There was something undeniably fresh and unique about the music and the visuals. In the online Asian community, attending the Head In The Clouds Music And Arts Festival has become #goals, and many of us streamed Asia Rising Forever for comfort amidst the pandemic. Coming from a culture that is traditionally rooted in academics, there is something particularly inspiring about seeing an all-Asian concert lineup in North America. For the first time, Asian artists have an opportunity to be taken seriously and given a spotlight in the mainstream media.

Music is an integral part of life, without it the world would be a mere echo of sadness which stands upon the shoulders of those who remember the sweet melodies that once calmed their souls, without the musicians who make the music we lose something as important as life itself, how many times has a song lifted your spirits, made you cry or feel something, anything at all?

sibca awanPublished 4 years ago in BeatIntroducing Consci Music
Six months ago, the world that we live in, changed. For the first time in our lifetime, the chaotic rhythm of everyday life was interrupted and put to a rather dramatic stop. Millions around the world became confined to their homes, and while social isolation can be detrimental, for music, it doesn’t have to be. As the world began to realize itself, Consci Music was born.

“This is about music being a lifeline to so many, a way out of a bad situation, a way to provide for their families, a way to find themselves in a creative manner (whether they be the writer or the listener), a way to just use all of your talents at one time simply saying how you feel about yourself and things around you. That's true music and the beauty of it.... that is why I write.” - Music is... by Clayton Headd.
