Music Modernization Act
Boring, unoriginal, derivative. He sounds like a Warren wannabe.
Never got into, then out of, an artist so fast...I question whether he's conscious of his influences and similarities to them or not, but high-powered HardHead mgmt clearly doesn'tz care about that!?!?!
For those in the know, this has always puzzled me. So a songwriter/artist receives payment when someone plays their song? What about bars and festivals? People cover songs all the time.
From the writer's perspective, they have performance rights organizations (ASCAP/BMI/SESAC) that are responsible for chasing down the mechanical royalties from movie/film placement, radio play, etc. etc. Those same organizations charge live music venues flat fees so they can have essentially anything performed in their club.....basically to cover their asses for people covering copywritten and published music.
There's more to it than just that, but that's the meat and potatoes of it.

That explains it I think. So nobody has to count how many times a song is played by someone, correct?
Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.

Man, I want to like this kid...
Maybe that will happen further down the road when he develops more of an original sound & identity.
