Скачать или смотреть How I Make $50k A Year As An NYC Based Musician | For A Living | Refinery29

In this episode of For a Living, we follow Halima (@halimabot), a rising musician based in NYC whose sound draws from a tri-continental upbringing between Lagos, London, and New York. From early folk and piano explorations to later studies in jazz and R&B, Halima’s music pulls unapologetically from a broad spectrum of influences. Beyond the stage, she’s navigating the financial realities of life as a working artist -- balancing touring with teaching at NYU, building multiple revenue streams, and even starting her own label, One Percent Genius. We dive into her journey of following passion, creating community, and confronting the challenges of making a living through music.
