 I'm a Paris-Bourne London-based singer and songwriter. I've set up for these two four track EPs and two singles and I'm currently recording my debut album. As an unsigned artist with a Pungent DIY for us, I feel attached to a world of physical memorabilia like artwork, physical CDs and vinyl. But because we're in 2019, I have to adapt to the current musical environment and play the game, which means I have my music independently distributed on all mainstream platforms such as Spotify and iTunes. This can be very daunting as such platforms are very figure-driven and revenue from streaming is as impossible to generate without substantial marketing or a major label push. I'm part of a strong network of female musicians in London and the UK who introduced me to Resonate. Resonate is a streaming platform cooperative which basically means artists share and call on the platform. This gives us a fair income and also attracts real music lovers who care about sustaining the artist's dream. This is especially attractive to unsigned and emerging musicians as well as independent labels to help grow their audience. I think Resonate is an opportunity for artists to be self-sufficient in a world where it's increasingly difficult for us to make a living and it's exciting to be part of this journey of creating a netidote to the ruthless and fickle streaming game.
