http://bandcamp.com is a place where fans decide how much to pay for a song, and there is no music label between the artist and the fans, the revenues goes to the artist. As of 15 sept the fans have paid artists $173 million using Bandcamp, and $4.6 million in the last 30 days alone.
I could totally get behind this! Granted, I don't create music at all, but I would absolutely love to be part of a platform that allows people to present music to the world the way us writers can present written material here on Steemit. :D
Hi @gavinmai. We at Thirsty Records like this idea and will be looking out for more updates in the future. Our incentive is similar, with the idea of curating Artists on Steemit. We would like to see a music streaming service made available for original musicians. There is already a radio steem for hosting and sharing music but we would like to see a streaming service specifically for Artists that use Steemit and have accounts here so that we can reward them directly. This idea is a good one and we will be watching for further developments. Good luck!

You are a genius! Love this idea, and it could save artists from the record labels' hold over them as well.
gavinmai, have you started a dialog with the creators of Steemit about this idea?
