BORN TO SHINE ALBUM

Streaming platforms are great for discovery — but they pay artists just a tiny fraction per stream. When you choose to download my music here, you are:
✨ directly supporting the creative process
✨ helping me pay production costs, collaborators, and studio time
✨ investing in future music, videos, and experiences

Thank you for being more than a listener — thank you for being a supporter of artists with purpose.

Here’s what’s true in the music industry:

• Most streaming platforms pay artists fractions of a cent per stream.
  • Spotify: around $0.003 – $0.005 per stream
  • Apple Music: around $0.01 per stream

That means:

• 1,000 streams ≈ $3–$10
• 10,000 streams ≈ $30–$100
  

These numbers vary depending on rights holders, distribution, territory, and platform — but the reality is the same: streams are great for exposure, not for income on their own.

By contrast:
👉 A direct digital album purchase (like $9.99 or $29) pays the artist — immediately and fully, without waiting or splitting with algorithms.

When you buy music directly:

• You help artists keep creating
• You support the team behind the music
  (producers, engineers, collaborators)
• You enable better recording, videos, merchandise
• You fuel the next project — faster
  

It’s not about pressure — it’s about purpose.

You are choosing impact over convenience — and that means the world to creators who pour their hearts into their work.
