Many music producers or DJs have been taking the world by storm through their music and since their songs are dominating the charts, they could earn a hefty amount of money off of it.
Recently, Calvin Harris answered a fan question where he explained how he earns money through his music.
It all started when a Twitter user shared a curious question, asking how musicians like DJ Khaled and Harris make money as most of their songs featured vocals from other artists.
Because I write, produce, mix, play every instrument and sometimes vocal. We found love, Summer, Feel so close for example 100% publishing because I did everything. Only reason I got Frank Ocean feature was he told me we found love was one of his favorite songs. I wrote that song https://t.co/aIc0Wktscb
