  • Social media has been a "beautiful tool" to connect psychedelic-rock group Maisie to its audience, but a desire from music organisations and record labels for large social media engagement is having an impact on some live music acts accessing funding and opportunities.

The article from MSN discusses the increasing pressure on musicians to build a substantial social media following to succeed in the music industry. It highlights how platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube have become essential for artists to gain visibility, secure record deals, and engage with fans.
