Music is regarded as an emotional and spiritual escape for listeners throughout history, although here is a darker toll that has plagued the industry for decades. Artists and creators trapped in this cycle have been brought to psychological or legal demise, spoken out about the mistreatment, or boycotted the industry all together.
THE DARK SIDE OF THE MUSIC BUSINESS
According to psychologists, music is one of the most commonly used forms of pleasurable escapism, providing listeners with dopamine releases and accesses the same pleasure centers in our brains as food, sex, and drugs. The truth is that many of us do not know the darker side to the business that brings us so much joy.

Explore the evil ins and outs of the music industry in this comprehensive exposé that will serve as your insider guide to the greatest hits and biggest stars of music history, and what they had to endure to get famous.
