The music industry has evolved greatly since singer-songwriter Richard Marx started in the business. Two key challenges that he sees plaguing the business today are how difficult it is for new songwriters to sustain themselves, and the loss of loyalty and appreciation from music consumers. New songwriters often don't receive fair compensation for their work, even when a song is a hit. Artists like Marx have a long career and catalog of work that they can continue to work from, but new songwriters don't. How listeners are consuming music also poses a challenge for these new songwriters. The subscription music services typically don't result in fair pay either, and have allowed consumers to become fickle. Marx, along with other musicians in the business, are concerned that if these challenges aren't addressed there will eventually be a lot less new music content to consume.
