Making music is a joy, it’s our passion and we love it, but it is also very expensive! As an independent artist, without the financial backing of a big investor or record label, we have to fund all of our releases, touring and marketing costs. This is part of running any business, but the music industry is known for being particularly difficult to thrive in, due to extremely low income from things like streaming alongside the increasingly unsustainable costs related to recording and touring.

FUN FACT …. We make approximately £0.003 per stream on music platforms like Spotify/Amazon Music. Download platforms like iTunes take around 30-40% of income per track (this is why we sell our own digital downloads here on our merch store!). For an artist like us to earn minimum wage in the UK, we have to have over 7 million streams a year (pretty difficult without a big marketing budget on top of that!). These are quick figures as a very brief overview, but you probably get the picture!

Over the years, it has been the kindness and generosity of others that has enabled us to release music and start to build a solid fan base around the globe. If it wasn’t for people believing in us and financially backing various projects, we would not be here making music today.

Thank you for your support!
