DIRT STAR WALKS THE INDIE PATH
THROUGH SHENZHEN, CHINA

"Piracy is definitely bad for CD sales. On the bright
side, the new music economy that we see today has
allowed for a lot of musicians to get exposure that
wouldn't be possible otherwise. I really believe that
if a young musician can get their act together in
China, there's a great opportunity to get paid. The big
rewards are going to be found in other growing parts of
the music industry, especially in live shows,
licensing, creative sponsorships and touring."
