Music streaming has become an integral part of the music industry, with platforms like Spotify and Apple Music leading the charge. However, the current economic model for music streaming has been the subject of much debate, with many artists and rightsholders feeling like they are not being fairly compensated for their work. Universal Music Group (UMG) and Tidal have announced a new partnership aimed at exploring an alternative economic model for music streaming that might better reward the value provided by artists.

There needs to be another way where we can sell our music to consumers and get a better return, and one of those things are direct to consumer. Meaning you may sell it on your website, an actual piece of vinyl the actual cd merch, selling it directly to your customer so that this way you can charge what you feel is appropriate.
