We all can’t live without music, right? As much as we love it, we also know that it can be a tricky career choice. However, there are also songwriters who have successfully made a name for themselves in the industry. Moreover, there are people who have earned millions of dollars as a musician. Let’s see which artists have managed to earn the most in the competitive music industry. Do you think your favorite songwriter made the cut?
Sia
The Australian record producer, singer, songwriter, and music video director is best known for her hit songs and amazing voice. Sia is the person behind songs performed by other artists as well. Just take a look at Rihanna’s “Diamonds” if you need an example. She has enjoyed a lengthy career, but she had not always been commercially successful. Nonetheless, she kept making new works and finally made it big when she released the 2013 album called 1000 Forms of Fear. “Chandelier” became a big hit and the music video starred little Maddie Ziegler from Dance Moms.
Beck
Beck David Campbell, better known as simply Beck, is popular for his extraordinary ability to go into different musical styles and genres. Over the course of his career, he has written songs in different genres like Americana, alternative, folk, hip-hop, pop, and more. He is an incredibly talented musician, that’s for sure. His mainstream success began when his 1994 single called “Loser” came out. The song went on to become even more popular when it was released in his album Mellow Gold later that same year. It shot him to international stardom and it did not take long before record labels began fighting over him.
