In were the 'Middle Men' or Record Labels, Music Distributors, Online Music Sale platforms and Publishers receive the biggest share of the Artists’ Royalty Payments and to be honest it's those big labels who control the types of music and artists that get the exposure and become popular.

THE BLOCKCHAIN

One of the great things about the blockchain technology is that because it is a decentralized system that exists between all the permitted parties there is no need to pay the 'Middlemen' at the same time it saves us plenty of time and conflict that we musicians face in the current traditional systems used; but now all of this is changing quickly as the Blockchain is proving to be faster, cheaper, and more secure in which is why Banks and Governments among other institutions and industries are being attracted to the Blockchain and turning to it.

MUSICOIN

"Musicoin" refers to a blockchain-powered platform that connects music listeners and fans to free music streaming. Musicoin is also a crypto currency that is instantly paid to artists on the Musicoin platform every time one of their musical works are played on the platform.
