In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

After 28 years of playing with the Amsterdam Klezmer Band, next week I’ll play my farewell concert with them. However much I love the band, it’s time for change for me. I look forward to new musical adventures, new sounds and new collabs (if you need a trumpet player, give me a call).
