Revolution of an industry

Remember when you used to go to the record store to buy music? When a new album came out you had a few options... hope to hear your favorite DJ play it on the local radio station, or run to the nearest store and pick it up. These new CD's were often close to $20. But how much of that went to the artists? The musician whose creative talent was responsible for the song you couldn't wait to listen to 1000x over only got a small percentage of that. Sure some made decent money, but the real money went to the record labels. Well the days of buying CDs at the store are essentially over. (How many of the record stores you used to go to are even still in business?!) Now it's all online, it's all digital. iTunes is at the top. Perhaps this break from 'traditional' is the perfect opportunity to revolutionize other aspects of the music industry as well! Let's use this opportunity to do just that. Let's return the creative control to the people who should have it: the artist. And let's let their fans have an easy way to make their input heard. The David Hamilton Project aims to do just that
