The pop star who claims to make money from Only Fans to fund loss-making tours

Singer Kate Nash says she thinks she’ll make more money selling photos of her butt on OnlyFans than from her own shows

Singer Kate Nash said she thinks she will make more money selling photos of her butt on OnlyFans than from her own shows after joining the platform because it is “a very difficult time for artists to tour.”

With the slogan “Dicks for tour buses,” the musician announced Thursday that OnlyFans revenue will subsidize her shows because “touring generates losses, not profits.”

“I also think it’s a bit of a punk protest, as a woman, to take control of my body and sell it so I can fund my passion project, which is actually my 18-year career,” she explained.

“I want to highlight this and I want people to talk about it and know the truth about what’s going on in the music business.”

Nash, who just finished a three-week US tour, began his UK shows in Glasgow on Thursday and will then head to Europe. His show at London’s Koko sold out.

“I’m losing money on these tours,” he told BBC News.

“The only way I’ve found to profit from touring is: either you sell, hopefully, enough t-shirts to cover the debt, or you cut people’s salaries, or you fire the band and crew, or you travel dangerously.”

She wasn’t willing to cut costs or the quality of her shows, she said. “This leaves me in a position where I make no profit from touring. So is this a job or a passion project?”

She also said it was “an important time for women to take control and feel empowered” and that she often posted photos of her from behind anyway.

The photos she has posted so far on OnlyFans are revealing but not explicit.

“I think butt is the perfect combination of comedy and sexuality,” she said.

“Actually, I like butts. I think they’re great. I think it’s fun. I like taking pictures of my butt. I’ve always been a bit of an exhibitionist. So I’m going to have fun doing it, and I’m already putting it online anyway.” way.

“I’ll probably make more money with this in the next three months than with music.”

“Musicians can learn from sex workers”

Nash, who released his fifth studio album in June, also told fans on Instagram: “No need to stream my music, I’m fine with .003 cents per stream, thanks.”

Last month, singer Lily Allen revealed that she makes more money selling photos of her feet on OnlyFans than from Spotify streams.

Meanwhile, in recent months, artists including Rachel Chinouriri, Ratboy and The Duke Spirit singer Liela Moss have canceled tours, blaming costs.

Nash highlighted research conducted by the Pirate network of recording and rehearsal studios that found most artists have not seen an increase in concert fees in recent years despite rising ticket prices.

“Festival and ticket prices have increased significantly, but musicians’ salaries have not,” he said.

“So you could play a place you’ve played several times and you could sell out, [mas] you’re probably getting the same amount you were getting 10 years ago. But all other costs have increased.”

Some companies make big profits from music, as do “a select few artists,” he said.

“But most are losing money, and we’re also creating an environment where the industry says we don’t want diversity in music, because we don’t want working-class people to be able to afford it.”

Musicians could follow the example of people who make a living selling sexual content on sites like OnlyFans, he suggested.

“You have all this control and decide what you want to do and how you want to do it, and people want to pay for it.

“We just don’t teach anyone any of those lessons with music and art: that art is so precious, so important in our lives and so meaningful. We’re totally happy to devalue it.

“Where can we learn from sex workers? Maybe we can learn something from this industry. How can we empower ourselves as artists and take a little more control?”
