Universal music group just announced that they would be removing artists
00:03
music from tiktok. So if you're wondering,
00:06
will this affect me?
00:09
So specifically, here's some artists signed to umg Universal Music Group
00:15
Have you heard of him?
00:17
So we can't use their songs anymore.
00:19
Like they use that bunny.
00:20
You dance to royalty free music.
00:22
Probably we have Drake La Rosalia and the Swifty Taylor Swift.
00:33
maybe we can shake it off,
00:39
it's gonna be interesting for sure.
00:42
What was the fact that Tik Toks Me?
00:43
And I feel like this is gonna really like,
00:46
I don't know how artists are gonna feel about this because I
00:48
feel like Tik Tok is a huge like platform to kind of
00:53
give more visibility to their music.
00:56
And that's how I find some artists.
00:58
I'm like, oh who's that?
00:59
I didn't know about them and then I look,
01:02
go on either, you know,
01:03
Spotify Apple Music and,
01:05
and I go and search their songs,
01:10
Definitely. No. Yeah.
01:10
And I've even seen like these music platforms,
01:12
make Tik Tok playlists.
01:14
These are the top song from tiktok right now.
01:16
I love the Rene game,
01:18
you know, or whatever.
01:20
so actually speaking on again,
01:22
people in that space and the artist we want to bring on
01:25
Grecia Gonzalez of Cosca Records as well as Jona demarco.
01:29
So, can you guys hear us?
01:30
Gina and Grecia? Yeah.
01:35
Thank you so much for joining us.
01:38
I've seen all your content on the internet,
01:40
your pop culture in a nutshell.
01:41
Your music is very in that space.
01:44
So I wanted to hear from you specifically also like how your
01:47
music has again gained popularity through that app.
01:50
And then Gresa, you obviously being in the sphere of managing
01:53
artists. Also. How do you think it's gonna affect that
01:55
industry? First of all,
02:00
I believe that all of the,
02:05
I think it's coming soon tomorrow if they don't have an answer
02:10
Yeah, if they don't have an answer by tonight at
02:11
midnight, it comes out tomorrow and it's also rioters in U
02:17
MP G. So it's everything under the universal umbrella.
02:21
Yeah, tiktok is a complicated issue.
02:26
Reels are a complicated issue.
02:28
On one hand, it can help break an artist.
02:33
it holds artists as possible in my opinion,
02:37
because you're the one editing,
02:39
you're the one shooting,
02:40
you're the one doing all of that.
02:43
So it feels a lot of times,
02:45
especially for any artist,
02:46
it's like a huge hurdle and having to encapsulate yourself into a
02:50
persona. But at the same time,
02:53
there's a lot of questions like,
02:54
are we switch and painting people into our music?
02:59
Are we secure to our cause which is music?
03:03
So and then that like the royalties like comes to a place
03:07
or using song and sound,
03:11
Do you know if yeah,
03:13
do they pay? How much the song itself always has two
03:16
sides of monetization? So it's the master side,
03:20
the side that you're like listening to like the final product,
03:22
let's say, and then the publishing side which is like the
03:26
people involved in composing the song,
03:28
writing the song. So you get paid on both ends.
03:33
So they are pretty competitive.
03:35
But you have to put also in mind that none of these
03:38
people are really fairly paying the creators for their work.
03:44
You know, you could say Tik Tok maybe gives like 00
03:49
to one cents per stream or per time everybody,
03:54
someone uses your song.
03:56
oh that's great because Spotify gives me 0003 point bla bla bla
04:02
it does pay, but it doesn't equal to all the hard
04:06
work that the creator is doing,
04:08
you know, for labels,
04:10
I would say Tik Tok having Tik Tok as strategy is very
04:13
fundamental and it's like,
04:14
I can't see how universe is going to release something and not
04:19
have at least some presence there.
04:20
I'm also like all of you.
04:23
for tomorrow to see what happens.
04:28
Do you know what I ask?
04:30
What is that? I don't know,
04:34
I don't know, they asked for obviously a higher increase,
04:38
but I don't know exactly what that entails.
04:42
I just hope that this comes with a bigger strategy because universal
04:48
is one of the main three.
04:52
you know, if Warner doesn't follow their lead or sold me
04:58
I hope that they all have it,
05:00
they know what they're doing because in the meantime,
05:03
just like the strike with the actors can,
05:07
this could affect some artists that aren't in the middle of the
05:10
roll out and you know,
05:12
and really are using this tool to connect with fans,
05:15
this could really affect them.
05:17
So I do hope that they at least have certain steps ahead
05:20
so that we can get through this bridge.
05:26
Well, thank you both so much ladies.
05:29
We really, really appreciate you,
05:31
you know, coming on and,
05:32

05:34
you know, what's happening and you know,
05:38
how you really feel about,
05:39
about what's happening. And thank you both so much.
05:43
Where can we find you on social?
05:46
