Support the Artist

Every time somebody streams an artist’s song on Apple Music, Spotify or the other streaming services they’re paid less than a single cent on average.

Spotify, Apple, Deezer and the rest of the popular music streaming services don’t pay artists or songwriters directly. They pay labels, distributors, publishers and collecting societies, and they then pay musicians.

Akiko is the last to be paid, the payment to her per stream is less than $0.006

It’s a financial challenge to operate a studio, compose and produce music when your payment for streaming is what it is.

By purchasing Akiko Hori music and sheet music from Akiko Hori’s website you are supporting Akiko Hori the artist directly and not the corporations.
