Your support means everything.
If you are here to support me, thank you. You are amazing for considering direct support, in light of today’s music industry practices. Are you aware of Bandcamp or Patreon?
These are the best two methods to offer direct support.
1. Buy my latest single (Bandcamp):
- Highest quality MP3s
- Buy individual tracks or…
- Buy entire catalog: 50% off
All songs: mboezi.bandcamp.com
2. Provide ongoing support (Patreon):
- Pick your price: $1 / $3 / $5 tiers
- MP3 downloads of all 🎵 I release
- Exclusive videos and demos
- Super easy to quit anytime
All access: https://patreon.com/mboezi
Or you can throw a tip in the tip jar:
Streaming is great… for listeners. But…
The streaming model is exploitative to musicians. For instance:
You’d have to stream my new single every day for a year for me to get $1.
That’s not a typo. Spotify is ruthless and massively underpays artists.
I use Spotify, and you do too. But I also support other artists I value.
- Studio time is super expensive: Each single costs ~$1,000
- Not to mention hosting fees & other monthly expenses
- Most artists operate at a loss; the economics don’t work
My goal with this set of songs is to use the privilege I have to share what I’ve learned – and especially what I’ve UNLEARNED. Spotlighting urgent social issues to invite reflection.
Again, the best way to sustain indie music is with direct support to artists:
We can rewrite the rules.
- Positive change is a collective effort. Can we change the culture?
- Can we make it a habit to support artists whose work we love & appreciate?
- Can we INVEST in artists directly rather than just making billionaires richer?
