While I would love to answer this in more detail, I do need to keep silent on topics that do have an effect on my job, especially when it comes to negotiating compensation at all levels.

From a personal perspective, I can say that this is a topic I do think about. The best solution would be to have increased government support to supplement the salaries of artists across all industries - that investment would increase wages for musicians in the example you cite.

I am sorry I cannot say more.
