As you know by now, I have taken down ALL my tracks, Lily Amis feat. Thir14een from ALL streaming platforms! It took a while, but finally, my songs are also unavailable on Spotify. While some of the music stores like Apple and Spotify don’t delete the artist profile, others have followed my request and deleted the artist profile as requested!
Unfortunately, the only music store that doesn’t respect
my wish is TIDAL. Despite e-mails back and forth, they are wasting my time by
making excuses. I'm receiving emails saying to move forward with processing your request, we need to
verify your identity!
Well, I have sent them everything
to prove that I am who I am and yet, the artist profile is still online. As if
this is not disrespectful enough, they also have listed another artist's music
on my profile. I sent them emails regarding this issue months ago and nothing
has changed!
Dear fellow indie artists, if you decide to release new music and want to offer your work for FREE on billion-dollar streaming platforms, that don’t respect your work, be aware that these companies have also ZERO respect for you as an artist!
If I could turn back time
and tell myself two years ago, I would not release anything on any of these corrupt
companies' platforms and promote their websites for free, bringing traffic and
possible new subscribers and all for nothing!
My online petition #RespectIndieAristsWork is closed, but I will continue to warn other indie artists because I don’t want anyone to have the same awful experiences and waste their time, energy, and money!
Remember my words:
Don’t sell yourself short.
Demand the respect you
deserve!
Don't promote for billion dollar corrupt companies
who show ZERO respect for you and your work!
UPDATE July 19th 2024:
After this blog post and many tweets, Tidal has finally
deleted my artist profile! FINALLY!
