In 2023, Cleveland dreampop musician Molly O’Malley earned between $300 and $400 altogether, from all streaming sites. “Even though I’m a small artist and the pay isn’t astounding, I’m still able to pay some of my bills with my streaming money, which is nice,” O’Malley says. The musician points out the convenience that streaming brings, especially from a listener perspective. “I love that everything is accessible,” O’Malley says. “I do think, also, having everything at the fingertips — it can undervalue some art. Not necessarily mine, but just generally speaking. The overconsumption thing where, if everything’s just easily available, they’re taking away the value, the feeling of it.” 🔗 Hear more from O'Malley at the link in bio. 🖊 nickoloffoff 📸 Courtesy mollyomalleyx #mollyomalley #cleveland #cle #music #clevelandmusic #clemusic #localmusic #streaming #spotify #spotifywrapped
