Ethan Diamond on bandcamp at XOXO Festival 2014

The best way to support an artist is to pay then directly. — Ethan Diamond

Ethan Diamond is co-founder of bandcamp, a site established to support musicians.

If you want to support musicians then pay them directly, not pay a global corporation in the hope that something trickles down to the artists.

If you know musicians and you want to support them, ask them why they are not on bandcamp?

At Staycation Live, if every band had said hey, you can find us on bandcamp, anyone who liked them would have looked them up, not only that, they would have maybe told their friends, and guess what, bandcamp makes sharing easy. And who better to share music than those who like it.
