I wanted to get the experience of artists creating music primarily for streaming services, and what the opportunities and pitfalls are when a song breaks through to become a hit.
‘Sunday Love’ has been my jam for nearly a year, so it was a great pleasure to speak with VALNTN & Naliya, the two artists behind the track, about how that streaming hit with millions of views/listens has shaped their careers.
I also chatted with Rawz from Oxfordshire collective Inner Peace Records about how having a group of artists around you supporting your work can take you through the rough patches of starting a musical career.
