Spotify vs. YouTube: The Future of Music Is Changing

Streaming changed everything for musicians — but not always for the better. In this video, I dig into why so many artists are becoming frustrated with Spotify and traditional streaming platforms, and why I believe YouTube is slowly becoming the true home for musicians and creators.

For me, it comes down to this: in an age of AI and algorithms, the process matters as much as the final result. Music isn’t just about a polished track at the end — it’s about the creative journey, the messy experiments, the gear explorations, and the behind-the-scenes moments that connect artists and listeners on a deeper level.

I also talk about why investing in great gear isn’t just about better sound — it’s about the performative aspect of being a musician today. When your process is visible, immersive, and inspiring, your audience becomes part of it. That’s where YouTube shines: it lets us share not just the music, but the making of the music.

I believe we’re entering a new era where connection is bigger than consumption — and platforms like YouTube are becoming the natural home for independent artists who want to build real communities around their work.

If you’re a fellow musician, producer, or creator navigating this changing landscape, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. Is Spotify still working for you, or are you finding new ways to share your art?
