Flaunt Weeekly

Multi-talented artistKate Nashhas always charted her own path and used her voice to lift up fans and draw attention to important issues. Eager to connect with her fans directly, she recently toured the US for the first time in 6 years and just wrapped an EU/UK leg of dates. This jarring experience activated her to speak up about the crises artists are experiencing across the music industry and take action in seeking out solutions.

For the majority of artists, making music is financially unsustainable. In response, Kate has launched a“Butts For Tour Buses” OnlyFans campaignafter tour costs proved otherwise insurmountable. This move both bolstered her feminist stance on bodily agency and afforded her the ability to tour and pay staff fair wages. With the support of Save Our Sceneswho provided a fire truck to follow with a poster of her bum on it, Kate alsoled a protestthe afternoon of her sold out London show on November 28 with stops outside ofLive Nation, Spotify& theHouse of Commons. In a statement, Nash said of the protest: “The cost of presenting live music has gone up by 30.3% over the past 2 years. There were 125 venues that closed last year in the UK. And, the value of recorded music is extremely low. You’re paid 0.003 of a penny per stream.”

Recently becoming a US Citizen, Kate Nash spoke about the global state of the industry and more in an exclusive conversation with Rolling Stoneout today.
