The majority of your income comes from performing at private events, touring, royalties from music that you release and other forms of licensing, including placing their music in films, TV programmes or video games. Many singers who focus on building their online following and their music brands also invest in producing and selling merchandise. Performing is usually one of the biggest sources of income for a singer. This includes revenue that you earn from singing in a live setting, such as concerts, festivals, media appearances, weddings or other types of private events. If you’re performing at an event, you can expect the promoter, venue or organiser to pay you.
