Producer DESMOND CHILD Talks Working With KISS And BON JOVI - “‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ Got 392 Million Plays On Pandora Alone, In Just One Year, But My Take Home Pay On That Was $6,000”



zoom
In a new interview, famed producer Desmond Child (KISS, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith) talked to Music Business Worldwide about the impact of streaming on songwriters.

Well, Livin On a Prayer got 392 million plays on Pandora alone, in just one year, but my take home pay on that was $6,000. Its not tenable, says Child

He went on to say, Who would ever chose this as a career? They wouldnt. You are going to get potentially genius songwriters who say, No, I want to be able to support a family, I want to eat nice food and live in a nice place, so I cant be a songwriter, Ill be a realtor and the world is less for it.

Meanwhile, the big corporations line their pockets through our music. Its unfair and we have to fix it.

Were saddled with legislation that suppresses our rates in a terrible way, through out-dated [US] consent decrees that are 76 years old. The last time they were even reviewed was 2001, before the iPod had even been launched. We are in a dire, dire situation.

When digital [music] came into being, the people protecting songwriters rights werent young enough, hip enough or educated enough to understand the impact that the internet was going to have.

So we got sold down the river and its been very difficult, almost impossible, to recover from the mistakes our leaders made at that time. Its tragic.

People go on and on about lost jobs in coal they shout about 7,000 workers have lost their jobs etc. Well guess what? In the last 10 years, the music industry has lost one million jobs. When I first arrived in Nashville, in 1992, there were 5,000 signed writers within the 440 Circle. At last count I think there were 232.
