It would be nice to have some statistics or example stories about particular groups or bands and how much money they make from it and how they live. I just feel like this is a massive blind spot for me. For example, I assume everyone signed to Planet Mu is a full-time musical artist, who does not have a full-time job, but do any of them have part time jobs? What about Warp? Ninja Tune? What are the (financial) lives like of professional yet not hugely popular electronic artists?
The only example I can think of is that I believe I read that Vektroid does not make a living on music, and neither does Blank Banshee. But it seems like that music especially lives on the internet and is popular amongst people who do not pay for music and there are very few live shows.
Ideally I could just email a bunch of artists asking how much money they make and how their money gets spent, but obviously that probably would not work in reality. How do I get a better understanding of this?
