Norah Jones: 'It's so hard for musicians to make money now'
She calls the music industry "messed up" for young artists.
Singer Norah Jones has admitted that she was very lucky to have entered the music industry when she did.
The Carry On singer says it is extremely hard for young artists now to enter into the industry, as no one spends money on music anymore.
"Nobody's buying records, nobody is even paying very much for streaming services so it's messed up for young people right now."
Norah gives a piece of advice to young artists today: to be wise with money and to always "be aware of what you're signing".
"If you get any kind of deal doing anything, be super smart about it".
The singer also warns young artists how necessary it is to be involved in social media and self-promotion now, admitting that she's "awful at that side of things"!
"I think it is really hard for musicians starting out today, it's such a great tool, but not everyone I know is good at self-promotion.
"And a lot of artists I know, that's like the furthest thing from their personality."
The rise of social media platforms means that it is even more essential for young artists now to learn the art of self-promotion. Norah explains that this can be difficult for artists who are not used to putting themselves out in the public sphere.
"Sure, they're excited by what they do, but constantly telling people to come check you out – that's like a whole other personality trait."
It's certainly a different industry to how it was when Norah first came around over 17 years ago!
Norah is back with a new album this October after a four-year hiatus. 'Day Breaks' is Norah's sixth solo album.
