Jacob Thiede, composer

In addition to distributing my music to the most common music streaming websites (Spotify and Apple), I upload them to sites like Bandcamp and YouTube allowing for free download for anyone to listen and share. Supporters (if they consent) will be given direct recognition and credit for their contributions. My music cannot be made without those who want it to exist.

In a world filled with streaming platforms, artists receive a tenth of penny per "stream" (or $0.001 on Spotify and Apple Music). I'm encouraged by my fan-base and supporters that they want to consume music and media more meaningfully.

About me: jacobthiede.com

Instead of throwing away $10 per month to a corporation who gives little to no profit to artists (let alone stockholders), I want to recognize and give direct credit to anyone who donates, sponsors, and produces my music through LiberaPay. Each year, I release a Secret Album that contains exclusive music that will not be distributed by any other platform. Patrons will receive that album in physical and digital form.
