Paqx. New Orleans recording artist. Six years in the New Orleans music scene, and I learned the hard way how little of the money ever reaches the people who make the music. So I pulled my catalog off every other streaming platform and built my own. My music lives in one place now: SonicCritic, the direct to fan streaming platform I founded. When you subscribe, 88% of net subscription revenue (after payment processing) goes straight to the artists you actually listen to. No pro rata pool, no data harvesting, and every artist payment is public. My debut album Wetakkim streams exclusively there, and it’s on vinyl too. On this channel: the music, the story behind it, and what it really takes to build a fairer way to get paid for art. Listen: soniccritic.ai/paqx Read: soniccritic.ai/blog
