Both of those were great. Young people seeking to live by creating their own music should seek to understand this stuff and seriously consider whether they wouldn't make more money by hiring individual companies at fixed costs to record and promote their material, and organise their tours. Because you can live better earning 75% of R100,000 than 5% of R1,000,000.
