**WATCH HERE NOW:** For this short documentary filmmakers sat down with music industry professionals to discuss how streaming platforms like Spotify are affecting artists and the quality of modern music.

It’s a decidedly negative view of Spotify that not everyone will agree with.

The last couple of years have been controversial for both Spotify and its founder Daniel Ek with record streaming revenues and huge financial gains for the CEO despite a global pandemic that saw most artists’ primary source of income – live performance – evaporate.

The film’s in-your-face style does its job well: forcing both artists and fans re-examine the dark side of music streaming.

Featuring:

- Georgia Train – Vocalist, Song Writer and Vocal Coach
- Mishkin Fitzgerald – Vocalist of BirdEatsBaby, Music Teacher, Studio Engineer
- David “Milky” Hooker – Rapper, Producer, Mental Health Activist
- Chris De Banks – Founder of “Not Saints”, Artist Manager, Touring Musician
