Seems like a weird pick up for someone who will probably average under 1k viewers. But I guess its just advertising.

And for someone who doesn't even like social media.

I guess what they're gonna do is try and make parts of his songs sounds on emotes. Either that, or they're gonna use his entire cache of songs as a playlist for twitch.

EDIT : Or both.

Just a grammy nominated musician with billions of streams and five million album sales. Pretty small-time.

But does it translate to Twitch? He said he's already been streaming, does he actually get any viewers?

Now if part of the contract is streaming time used as music performances that's a little different, but if it's just to play games it's probably not that relevant. There are plenty of famous people, including even porn stars, how well do they do on twitch?

I think the "big" names in terms of streaming on Twitch in a music capacity started with Deadmou5, he has been at it for years. Tpain been making a lot of music there too, and since the quarantine, Mike Shinoda has been making music there every day as well. He just completed an album (Dropped Frames) that he did entirely on Twitch, where he had a contest of bringing fans onto a record (only one with vocals), and decided to mix all the finalists into the completed product.


Not necessarily my type of music, but that sort of stuff, if it succeeds will probably gain the eye of more people from the entertainment industry. Now adding Logic to the mix, certainly looks like Twitch is trying to attract more mainstream entertainers.

Streaming is not going anywhere, but would not be shocked at all if in five years, the top recommended on Twitch is starting to be more like YouTube is now. Mainstream entertainment/entertainers at the top. Fully expect the Twitch TOS to become stricter and more enforced in terms of what content/actions they'll allow people to get away with as they "clean" up their site. When they get the Watchparty function working properly, live airings of late night shows and the likes won't be far behind.

There's been a bunch of EDM streamers since the virus hit. Seven Lions, Above and Beyond(anjunabeats), Zedd, plus some others I'm forgetting have been at least streaming weekly. I find it pretty retarded they ponied money up for Logic. It would be hilarious if they got rid of Dr. Disrespect to be able to afford to pay for Logic. That may cause a Digg like revolt on Twitch.

Twitch has been doing a lot of work on the music side of things, which is reasonable. It's the area they have the most to gain from youtube.
