Super interesting Ryan Tedder article

[B Steady]

"I can't start thinking about the money," he says. "I've been with [music rights administrator] Kobalt since day one. I signed because of the transparency that you could go online and constantly see your flow. They can verify this - I have never signed in. I have this weird jinx-y [thing] where if I start thinking about that and start focusing on how much I'm making..." Tedder pauses to semi-­correct himself. "At the end of every year I ask my business manager, 'What did I make this year?' and my goal is to match or beat the year before. And that's it. I don't know when my last royalty thing came in."

He's also talking about Max

Obviously he is such an influence.

Any superstar songwriter knows Max Martin's work and appreaciate its value.

He earns so little?

He earns so little?

This stuff doesnt happen overnight. Some royalties take anywhere from 6 months to 1 year to roll in. So as of his 2013 income (2.5 million) from raoyalites already coming in... he's doing pretty well. With airplay, sales, and performaces happening for the rest of his life (+70 years after his death), I think he'll be doing pretty damn good :-)
