Invested $100,000 to Create Music Album and Spotify Deleted It | Part 1: What's Happened?
Karra invested over $100,000 of her own money to create debut album "Beauty and Boss". After being released for 1.5 years and accumulating 1.2 million streams, Spotify flagged her album for artificial streams. This resulted in Spotify and Distrokid removing her entire album off of all music streaming platforms, with no warning or chance to dispute claims. She did not buy "fake streams", or participate in any scams to run up her streaming numbers. She is not alone as thousands of other independent artists are experiencing same issues with music streaming and distribution services. Karra shares her story as independent artist to show how much she has invested into her solo music career only for her music to be ripped down in such unjust manner. This documentary also illustrates all of blockages she experienced while trying to promote her album on popular social media platforms like Tik-Tok, Instagram and YouTube. She also breaks down accounting, and reveals how much album generated from royalties. Spoiler alert... its not much! Karra is honored to advocate and raise her voice on behalf of every artist who continues to be exploited by today's flawed music streaming system. Karra has made permanent decision to never release her music for streaming ever again. Her music will only be available on channel, where she gets paid fairly and has full agency over her content, profile and music.
