Singer Olorunyomi Oloruntimilehin, nicknamed Bad Boy Timz, has stated that the revenue generated from music streams is not sufficient for artists.
Bad Boy Timz claims that a lot of musicians use the earnings that they get from music streams to pay for music promotion.
In order to increase money, the “MJ” crooner counselled his colleagues to give priority to live performances, tours, and sponsorship.
Speaking in a recent interview with Hip TV, Timz said: “As an artist you cannot depend on music streams because it is not substantial. Most of the earnings from music streams are reinvested on promotion.
“So, what I do is go on tours. I’m always trying to get Visas to tour different countries. I have been touring for over a year now. So I advised my colleagues to make more money from shows and seek sponsorships.”
Recall that Burna Boy became the first African to reach one billion streams on Audiomack.
