Chicas Sombre spoke to IssueWire about the challenges of the music industry:
“As an independent artist, I have learned the hard way that the digital music industry is not the fair, transparent ecosystem it claims to be. Over time, it has become painfully clear that companies like Spotify, Meta, and several other dominant platforms operate in ways that quietly undermine the rights and livelihoods of creators. These systems do not exist to support artists.
They exist to strengthen their own market power. They do so by:
• artificially limiting visibility,
• controlling or manipulating performance data,
• concealing royalty calculations behind opaque processes,
• and misusing or altering metadata in ways that distort an artist’s true audience and impact.
This is not just a financial issue. It is an artistic one.
When platforms tamper with reach, silence real listeners, or bury creative work behind algorithms, they are not simply manipulating numbers — they are interfering with artistic freedom, the right to expression, and the dignity of creative individuals. Artists deserve a digital world where their work is not shadowed, erased, or replaced.
A world where visibility is not a privilege sold to the highest bidder, but a reflection of authentic audience engagement. A world where data belongs to the creator, not to the platform that profits from it. A world where music is treated as culture, not just as content.
My voice, and my work, will not be diminished. Not by hidden algorithms, not by manipulated statistics, and not by systems designed to erase emerging artists in favor of commercial interest.
This is my stand — for transparency, for fairness, and for the rights of every creator whose art deserves to be seen, heard, and respected.
Our recent single, "Cadenas Invisibles," addresses exactly this problem and is available on the popular streaming platforms.”
