zoe keating has repeatedly talked about how family friendly her touring schedule is.

the odds are against every single musician out there

the signed musician earns less then 7k per year

most have to get second jobs in the food industry to survive.

Your problem is that you discredit every success on this side of the equation as not being good enough.

a signed artist would have to sell $1,760,000 of music to match the success level of this girl. and all the artist who failed to do that will be forced to work for no money on their next 5 albums until they pay it back.
At long last you finally agree with the point I have been trying to make all along which is that making it in the music business is very difficult. That means having one project funded on kickstarter does not mean she is going to go on to fame and fortune. Maybe she will, but the odds are better that she will win the lottery. Hence, as I said before, her kickstart deal is basically her lotter ticket just like a record contract for another band might be theirs.

I am not discounting kickstarter success, I am simply saying it is does not mean that someone is going to be a huge success.
