Some great comments here on the direction of the music industry and how things will be changing for artists. He suggests that artists should give their music away and monetize elsewhere, which is something that has been said by many people for a while, but it is particularly interesting for someone in his position (multi-platinum artist) to say. Some would even go as far to discount what he says because of his success.

Although I’m not 100% sure how I feel about this, it made a lot of sense… This was the best quote from the segment:

“The true art isn’t necessarily creating the music, the true art is seeing how many people that music can touch in various ways… you can be as artistic as you want, and no one hears it and no one likes it, but I always thought the true art was trying to break through the noise and getting millions of people to notice what you’ve created.”
