Laura Brehm strummed an acoustic guitar as a singer-songwriter before finding success as a featured vocalist on electronic dance-music tracks a gig that has brought her international work and tens of millions of plays on services such as Spotify and YouTube Music.
But even as music-streaming revenues are projected to hit $23 billion this year an increase of 50% over 2020, or $3.3 billion, according to a Statista survey the Colorado musician will see only a fraction of the money that her work generates.
