The music industry faces a “customer-ownership problem,” not a fan problem. Independent artists often lack knowledge of their audience despite achieving streaming success. The fragmented nature of data across various platforms limits relationship-building. Artists must control customer relationships via systems that respect fan preferences, fostering direct connections and sustained support through their music ecosystem.
