Fun (?) Fact!
The "no tax on tips" thing in the US doesn't actually apply to self-employed musicians. We still have to report all our tips as income and pay tax on them because we have no employer to report the tips to that creates the deduction.
Thanks everyone for streaming my Chrono Trigger album over the past year! It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since I uploaded it.
I'm still really proud of how it turned out, and of two weeks ago the whole album is also monetized on Spotify!
