Indie artist who sell like 5 records and give the rest away to gain a loyal following through word of mouth marketing. The next thing you know $ 10k a night for a tour of like 30 shows. Theres a few guys in the jewelry thread here on NT showing off their spoils from their hustle. I personally started to despise supporting big label artist via once i learned how the game worked like 6 years ago.
Also we can thank Steve Jobs (Itunes) and Sean Parker ( Involved with Spotify , Facebook and creator of Napster ) for changing the game for the better.
