Abstract
The arrival of streaming platforms has significantly shaken up the recorded music industry with their subscription model. But while streaming services are said to offer independent artists the potential to reach a global audience, they are hardly able to make a living from the streaming of their music. This study critically examines musicians' experiences with the streaming platforms' present revenue distribution with a view of developing a fairer remuneration model that would benefit all stakeholders.
