I will conclude by asking a question: why do we find it so hard to recognize the value of the performer when talking about music?
Current practices do not adequately recognize the performer's contribution and risk taking. Artists spend hundreds, if not thousands, of hours developing their talent. Their contribution must be fully recognized.
Our laws must support artists who have to deal with the cultural industry giants, because, as I often say and repeat: there is no culture without the artist.
Thank you.
